Bo Bassett is back on the market — and now Penn State is in the driver’s seat. In this episode, Zach Seyko explains why Coach Cael Sanderson absolutely wants Bo Bassett, why Iowa blew it, and how this commitment could anchor the Nittany Lions’ dynasty for the next decade. Also covered in this episode: Bassett’s ranking & fit in PSU’s style, the ripple effect for Melvin Miller and Keegan Bassett, why Iowa’s RTC structure and alleged coach friction led to the decommit, how Oklahoma State and Nebraska factor in, and what Penn State must do to close. This is not just a recruiting battle. This is about wrestling dominance until 2030.
