STILLWATER – One of the top wrestling prospects is back on the market. Bo Bassett, the No. 2 prospect in the 2026 class, has announced he’s decommitted from Iowa on Sunday evening. Along with the decommitment, Pokes Report has learned Bassett is actually currently in Stillwater working out at The Farm, Coleman Scott’s wrestling facility.
“After a lot of prayer and talking with my family, I’ve decided to decommit from the University of Iowa,” Bassett wrote on a Facebook post. “This wasn’t easy, but I believe it’s not the right fit for me as a wrestler, a person, or for my faith journey. I’m grateful for the opportunity, and I’ll never speak a bad word about their program. This is about finding the place God wants me to be. This is a huge decision in my life and it has to be the right one. I would like to thank all of the Iowa fans who have supported me. You have been amazing and I am grateful for the support you showed me.”
Following Bassett’s decommitment, the top prospect in the 2027 class, Melvin Miller, who happens to be a Bishop McCort teammate of Bassett, and adopted brother, re-released his top schools list on Sunday without Iowa listed stating “family first.”
Bassett, who is teammates with current Oklahoma State commitment, and current No. 1 overall prospect in the 2026 class, Jax Forrest, is set to enter his senior season with Bishop McCort at 145 pounds.
Forrest just won the 61kg Pan-Am title with an 11-0 tech fall over Joey Silva of Puerto Rico. The Cowboys also hold the commitment from Dreshaun Ross, who’s the No. 3 overall prospect in the 2026 class.
Needless to say, David Taylor is putting together one of the best high school recruiting classes in recent years for OSU.
