Bo Bassett declares his ambitions with a strong message amid his ongoing college visits

American wrestler Bo Bassett shared a message to declare his ambitions ahead of his college announcement. Bassett was initially committed to the IOWA Hawkeyes at the start of 2025 and also spent some time at the training center of the institution.

However, just a few months ago, the Bishop McCort wrestler decommitted from the Hawkeyes, stating that the program was not the most suitable for him in recent times. This refers to Bassett, who is currently one of the hottest prospects in the youth wrestling circuit and is slated to enter the collegiate recruitment portal once again.

However, before deciding on the next stop of his career, Bassett shared a strong message on his Instagram stories where he outlined the timeline of his next tournaments, starting from Who's Number One on October 11. The caption of the story remarked:

"Another day, Another 1%"

"WNO- 8 days, Super 32- 15 days, Ironman- 70 days, PIAA States- 154 days, US Open- 207 days"

"Every day, Every rep, every decision matters #Machinegunmindset"

Notably, Bassett's mother, Karissa, had also shared updates about the former's visit to the Virginia Tech wrestling program.
