Threadkilla Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) This is the most comprehensive interview of Bo's career so far I've ever seen. from youth to present, very well done. It's worth a listen if you get a chance. Edited October 13, 2023 by Threadkilla 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokemonster Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Really good interview. Are parents allowed to just withdraw their kids from school, do no homeschooling, and just play sports for an entire year? Sounded like the sole goal of that entire year was to get an advantage at wrestling when he didn't even need it. Hopefully that's not a trend, lol.

Best part is parents were educators and were cool with the whole situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrestleknownothing Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 So who is the coach he called to personally inform that he was choosing PSU where the conversation was bad? We know it wasn't Brands (see you on the mats). Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrestleknownothing Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 How much will the PSU haters hate to hear he turned down a full ride at OhSU to take 87.5% at PSU? Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know? I think a lot of guys, even top recruits, end up taking partials. 87.5% sounds pretty good to me. What % can these current crops of PSU and tOSU studs possible be making. I know a guy who was a multiple year starter at a top program. Although not a "top recruit," was certainly a great prospect. His scholarship was "books."

Honestly 87.5% at PSU is really high. With the amount of high end recruits they have on the roster currently and 9.9 Scholarships available they all have to be taking a cut.... I'm sure they make up for it with a nice NIL deal now though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimpeltf Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Have to remember that these days need based aid is included and who knows whether the 87.5% includes the need or if need is 12.5%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corby Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 The new one now from some coaches when a kid calls with bad news is ok we will see you in the portal. The coaches you would think take it hard usually don't. And it's usually the quiet ones who have the comments 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be like getting offered a job, turning it down because it's not a good fit with your life right now and the prospective employer saying "If anything changes in your life and you want to make a change, the job offer still stands."

His statement, as written, had a pretty negative connotation. To me, at least.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
