Wrestling insider weighs in on Bo Bassett's program selection after decommitment from Iowa Hawkeyes

A wrestling insider opened up about Bo Bassett's visit to the University of Nebraska and reflected on his program selection following his decommitment from the Iowa Hawkeyes. The latter reopened his recruitment on June 22 this year.

After committing to the Hawkeyes for just five months, Bassett announced his decommitment from the university and reopened his recruitment. Along with him, his brother, Melvin Miller, also eliminated Iowa from his choice for top programs. The college search for Bassett is still ongoing, and he recently visited the University of Nebraska with his family, which has garnered the attention of the wrestling community.

In a conversation with Flo Wrestling, one of the wrestling insiders, Christian Pyles, weighed in on Bassett's program selection following the latter's visit to Nebraska. When asked whether both brothers were going to Nebraska, the insider called it a great place for them and said:

"I dont know, if they know, I think, that will be a great place for them, obviously, its's a good program. There's fit there for Bo. Melvin be a great guy to have on the team. They probably have more visits scheduled, if I had to guess."

During his visit to the university, Bassett opened up about the atmosphere at the University of Nebraska's Memorial Stadium during the team's football game against the Akron Zips.

Ahead of this visit, the wrestler recently competed at the 2025 U23 Pan American Games in Paraguay, where he competed in the 65kg freestyle. After a stellar performance, he clinched a gold medal in the event.
