Bassett's strength advantage has not carried over as he's moved up in weight. when he cant snap guys down at will and run behind over and over, he's not that dynamic. still great obviously, but really needs to develop more varied offense.
He's been using that fireman's carry dump in the few matches that I've seen but yeah, he's mostly looking to snap down and go behind and opponents are aware that's his bread and butter.
I think these losses are very good for him (cliche but true) because he learns the lesson you stated above. He still very much looks like a kid (doesn't look like he's super physically developed)
The only person who can win matches on snap down, go behinds alone is Gable Steveson probably. And obviously Gable has a huge variety of leg attacks he can go to whenever.
I agree. Bassett’s body doesn’t look developed. When he does he might be dangerous. So much hate on the kid. Honestly disappointed in wrestling fans and people. When he lost I said to myself, let’s see how this kid responds. He may have never been on the back side. Then out places the KY kid. Winning is easy, battling back is not.
Other highlights from catching up today. Rocco Welsh, Vince Bouzakis, and Rath are very tough.
Gibson looks like he is getting that pop back and destroyed his last kid.
kilkreay.
PA Cadets looks to have 16 placing in the top 6. They should have a chance to win.
Would like to see the Pa Juniors bring all the hammers one time. Could you imagine them taking Rune, Pitzer, Haines, Arrington, Gibson, McKay, Etc.
Shut the Iowa clowns up

Haven't seen much hate myself. Did see alot of posts that he took a loss and people giving reasons why they thought he may not be the second coming everyone was making him out to be. Gonna always have nitwits out there but you expect to see it more when it comes to Bo, if for no other reason than the self promotion he a/o his dad plasters all over social media.

Our guy Davis gets Horwath in Semis. Will be interested to see how that one plays out. PSU was a finalist for Horwath before choosing Michigan.
I'm guessing he isn't cutting weight at all.
Otherwise this is just plain stupid.
That aside that's a lot of wrestling. I hope it's worth it.

If winning were easy, more guys would do it.
I agree in general. But his social media persona and the mccourt stuff creates haters. Haters lurk and lurk. Then come out of the wood work. They chose that route so they have to accept the blow back when it comes.
If he was just a stud wrestler I don't think you see the hate.
Agreed with most of this, though from that video I thought Raney could stand to get stronger -- specifically the 2 doubles he didn't convert. Not a criticism of Raney, just a measure of his physical maturity.

Been waiting for Bek to break out, he's been very close. Has had some very good wins in the past, but couldn't quite get over the hump.
Just when I take him off the recruiting list (since he hadn't got a state medal yet, I didn't want to call attention to him on the list as in "what's he doing on there?"...he goes and gets a stop sign!!!!
Bek and his brother have wrestled for the HS offseason dual team that I organize since he was going into 7th grade. The first summer he wrestled for me, I was giving him and his older brother a ride to the Howell duals when I asked them both how they were doing in school and where they wanted to go to college. Bek's reply was "I want to go to Penn State and wrestle, Mr. B!"
I'm super happy right now, but not nearly as happy as the CR South coaches and his dad, Savi!

Aeoden Sinclair 182 from Wisconsin gave up 1 point total and that was in the Finals. TF everyone. Also, PJ Duke at 138 from New York tech’ed his way to the final with no points allowed. Beat Vince Bouzakis 4-1
I look forward to seeing his 5:00 a.m. workout video tommorrow morning.... lol
Noah Mulvaney from Wisconsin. Flo has him 20th in their rankings, Committed to Bucknell. Match scores so far 10-0, 10-0, 13-2, 23-16 and 10-8
if you haven't watched any of gilman in high school, it's fun. he was almost 100% snap down front headlock. had the strength to snap guys at will like bassett wants to. but even that had diminishing returns. he took some lumps his true freshman year, was much improved, but didn't score much as a redshirt freshman which is why he ultimately lost the spot to clark, and then was a leg attack machine by his third year. that's when he really jumped to an elite level.
That's great, I'm happy that someone on the Board knows him (I searched his name here and there aren't many mentions), but especially that it's someone who knows him really well. Congrats Dice.
Horwath beats Davis 10-2. I think Davis might be wrestling up (think he was 113 during season)
He looks small to me but I have bad eyes. Willie has had him ranked 120 so there's that. I don't know, maybe Davis will be a 125. I thought he'd be at least a 133 but doesn't look to be growing.. but again....I have bad eyes. Lol
I don’t think Bassett is screwed or anything but the 8th grade stuff is misleading. He’s as old as a lot of HS sophomores.
I thought Davis was way more likely to be 125 than McGowan. Still do. He’s just a tiny kid.
Barr wins 10-0. Low double then hooks up a lace.
He made his fame through dominating cadet worlds at 99 pounds and looking like Spencer Lee wrestling high school 106 .... that and a big time marketing campaign ran by his dad. I am not a hater at all (seems like a very polite and humble kid by all counts) but it's nice to see him being brought down to Earth a bit at 120 when he no longer has a decided strength advantage.
Now Jax Forrest on the other hand, beating Jesuroga (an absolute unit despite being so small) to make the cadet world team at 120 ... he has my attention big time.
