You're 100% ignorant if you don't think he had any suitors. Perhaps not at the level he would like, but he could start at a host of mid-major type schools.
WTF.

Of course he'd start at a mid major.
But he's at Iowa, where room guys don't score at Nattys.

Fans have complained for several years that the Iowa room has too many Peterson like guys.
BTW: You have ZERO idea if he had other suitors, or suitors willing to pay him.

Don't WTF me when you're the one who posted this:

Kale Petersen???

Big Whoop 🤭
His return pretty much states the obvious...no suitors.


Nice red herring attempt at the end, though. :rolleyes:

.....and who are these R12 multiple wins over?
Did you read it i said multiple Qualifer/R12 type or at least what i meant guys one off the top of my head is the kid from American that Drake beat this year in the bloodround and he pinned him at the soldier salute. He also was in a dogfight 1 0 match with the Sergio Vega the Ncaa Champ late in the third he was close to some takedowns on a kid that famously didnt get taken down till he got a little to cute and caught in a cradle but im sure you'll say yah but he got pinned

To be clear, I don’t think a lot of the hate is coming from any Hawk Fans…
He has no point.

There is no hate directed at anyone.

Just an observation that KP is little more than a room guy and certainly isn't scoring any points at Nattys at any weight.
Edit...could win a consi match and add 1 pt.

Lol...so he's giving up the chance be a starter at a mid major to wrestle 6/7 matches at Iowa???

State who those suitors were or STFU.
And coming back to Iowa is your definition of "suitor"?🤣🤣🤣
You're arguing now just for the sake of an argument.
New Hampton loser.

You’ve got to be some new kinda retard to think he couldn’t have went elsewhere and started. Holy hell

This is exactly right..........Having a roster full of guys like this is the reason we are falling behind more every day. We WERE only behind Penn State but now we trail Oklahoma State also and have finished behind several programs we shouldn't be behind. Our Staff is a huge reason we aren't catching the teams ahead of us. Hiring a guy like Warner is just another example that Tom's time has passed.

Didn't say he wouldn't start.

I was suggesting he didn't get big $$$ offers.
Don't know the timing issues, but if Metcalf had Ayala recruit KP and then ISU changed course, KP was SOL?
Of note...KP>Jesse Ybarra, another swing and miss.

Go look at every D1 roster including Penn st and you will see many guys who are depth guys . You can't have 30 studs NO ONE DOES. You really think Iowa thought Ybarra was gonna be a world beater ? Maybe fans need to understand the sport a little better 🤷

Ybarra was a top 20 p4p recruit and a who’s number one champion. His career definitely didn’t go the way they were hoping/expecting.

No, you just claimed no one else wanted him. And then when you realized how ridiculous that was, you pivoted to Iowa having too many guys like him. Well, no freaking ****. But that is a completely different point. The ole Mitch goalpost move. Classic.

See, that's the problem. That our roster is full of those guys.
There's nothing wrong with having Joey Cruz, Kale Petersen quality type guys on the team if they're in their proper roles as backups / depth (which is what they currently are). Only the recruit hoarding teams (Penn State, Oklahoma State) have AAs two deep sitting on the bench waiting for their chance (Desmond, Henckel, likely at least one Raney, Sealey), it's not the norm. I'd make the point most teams don't have a Joey Cruz level guy to step in when needed at most of their weight classes. Joey Cruz has more than a handful of quality wins.

Think back to Aiden Harris (no disrespect intended to him btw) filling in at 125 for a semester a few years back. There's value to having competent backups.

Basch recently said the quiet part out loud the other day that having all these quality guys on Penn State's bench serves a purpose, it keeps them aways from the competition.

Name those suitors then!

You can't and I also can't prove he didn't have any other schools interested.

But the mere fact he's back at Iowa is a good indication others weren't craving his services.
Cause I highly suspect he came cheap.

All ahead of Ybarra on big board how did they do?
Also I live in AZ and that's where Ybarra is from
Deflecting the convo!
Good choice.

BTW: I was ridiculing you because you posted that you weren't surprised how Ybarra's career materialized.
You didn't predict that when he committed.

None of the names you mentioned have anything to do with the current discussion.
Ybarra was another big miss from TnT. You continue to shiitpost.

You posted he was top 20 🤷 guess it's not relevant. What did I predict when Ybarra committed?

Reread post #2426 and the author and admit you're wrong.

I think you get flustered when called out and become irrational.
Regardless, wrestling fans on this site have come to expect misinformation from you.
Congrats...you're consistent. 😅😅😅

It probably depends on which ranking service you use willie had Ybarra #37 Flo had him #16 not that it matters really but maybe thats what he was referencing
