Cadet Worlds thread

Maybe. That bad call cost 2 team points, and we lost by 4. Levi would've needed to win the next match too -- and since that guy didn't make the finals, losing to him would've still meant no repechage.
India was on the other half of the bracket, so no opportunity to deny them points.
Getting shut out at 55 kg and 60 kg hurt a lot worse. So did losing 3 finals matches.
BTW, Haines scored more team points than the Turk who "beat" him by falling out of bounds.
UWW team scoring rules are on Ch. 7 (bottom of p. 29) here:

If I were Bo, I would do what Ferrari did and take every trip possible. The kid is going to be everyone's P4P and he will get a full ride anywhere. Without knowing anything I have to imagine it's Iowa's to lose with his relationship to Strittmatter (right?) and Spencer being there. I know they have PSU stuff in their house, but it's almost a mirror image type deal.
Also, has he said anything about going straight to senior level type wrestling if his trajectory holds true?
I want to add Meyer to this, too. Those two set themselves up for an incredible amount of success. Full court press on both. With Levi, we are already blessed to have him on board.

Our default setting always seems to be Strittmatter --> Iowa favorite. In reality, Iowa has landed 5 Young Guns wrestlers ever. And it's really hard to argue that Strittmatter was the deciding factor for Lee, Kemerer (heavy Lehigh lean until the Iowa official visit), and Henson (recent college head coach's son).
That leaves Young and Murin -- if Strittmatter was the driving factor with them, who cares.
Meanwhile, Bassett trained for Cadet Worlds primarily at The Compound (his dad's club) and at M2 + NLWC. When he needed to be his best, he trained at PSU.
True that Spencer isn't at PSU. Also true that Gilman, RBY, Howard, Zain, Nick Lee, Bartlett, and Van Ness aren't at Iowa.
Also, Bassett's cousin will enroll at Cornell in Fall 2022 (with Yianni and Arujau training there). So Cornell would also have a relationship edge over Iowa.
We usually get the Young Guns kids we prioritize minus Spencer. Nolf, Cenzo, Nico were all YGWC kids.
I don't even want to use the term "we didn't want them" but it's pretty obvious for Young, Murin, Kemerer that they wouldn't have a path to start at PSU all 4 years, obviously they'd be welcomed if they wanted to take a shot. Pretty sure Luke Pletcher wanted in as well but we couldn't offer him as much as OSU and/or Cael wasn't the biggest fan of his style. That one was a mistake if true.
I'm telling you NIL will be huge in the years ahead. Huge. What you cant do in schollie you can make up with NIL.
The recent arms race will be nothing like the future.
Coach to booster: I need this kid. But I only got .5 schollie for him
Booster: can we win a team title if we get this kid.
Coach: he is the missing piece.
Booster: ok. I'll hire him to sell cars this winter. Pay him $1500/month
Compliance office. Deal

But the bassets have family and now the olympic bug is firm. So that will also be something coaches zero in on.
Yuks got the bag men.
TnT have the "light weight room"
Ok state have bag men, tradition and smith.
Psu only has what it has .......hahahaha
#itswhatwedo
Seems like a very tight nit family to me. With Bo having a younger brother that will still be in hs, his dad coaching and running the compound I'd put my money on him staying close to home. I predicted Iowa for Spencer, hope I hit on this one too.
You never know, maybe his dad will expand a compound in Iowa City magically
Then I'm sure Coe College will be hiring a Johnstown transplant as well although me thinks Bill Bassett is pumped to turn Bishop McCort into a state or maybe even national powerhouse and will want to stay where he is...You never know, maybe his dad will expand a compound in Iowa City magically
Now we know who to blame.
Lol. I'm still going with Spykers relentless full court press turning him off of PSU...
How much can Suriano make from Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian, and of course Princess?
An underrated part of these cadet championships is that KJ ---- who is getting a lot of credit for the team. As usual --- got everyone to the dance on time.
That is because they told him they were in Bucharest......which is an hour ahead of Budapest. Everyone was early. Brilliant
Sorry. Would getting Bo to go to PSU redeem me? LolUh oh, johnstown!
No offense to Willie but we don't have a lot going on in these parts unless you want to consider drug arrests, shootings and poverty as "feature" material. Bo is a big big big deal here for many and thanks to Willie we will get some extra coverage on our news and in the paper..
1,500 / month? Just because they are going to do it above board I don't expect Alabama, Clemson or Ohio St football players as well as Kentucky basketball players to take a full magnitude pay cut.
Oh their kings of go behind alright lol
I really try to temper my excitement about middle school aged kids, partly because my attention span is too short to want to watch their progression towards college, but also because I've seen so many that were a flash in the pan or who didn't live up to some fans' expectations, but I have to admit that I'm pretty anxious to see Bo Bassett in high school and college after seeing him wrestle here and hearing his post-championship interview. Can you even imagine being a high school kid who has to wrestle him? I've seen a lot of high school kids who were nowhere near this kid's level who were assumed would win each match in high school and I can't even imagine the average kid having to face him. For that matter, I wouldn't want to be a senior who was a returning state champ and have to face him.
Doesn’t he still have another year of middle school left?
I think it's a different Blades. Kennedy was in the OTT, this is Korina in Cadets
I worked at a large insurance broker in NYC where the president was a big UCONN guy. All of a sudden Charlie Villanueva was pushing around a mail cart. I’m guessing he made more than I did.
