He took that line from the Cesspool, maybe?

Impossible to find out…… my guess is 83% less than what Iowa offered….. with only Iowa’s offer associated with a number. Just no way to get that information.
I was wondering if that was “Fellers.”
Dude comes off as an enormous ass at high school meets. I’d be embarrassed if I were related to him. Maybe he’s not an ass outside of competition, but it’s a bad look.
His kid is really good.
That video with Swiddy...is that him running from the cops again after he wrecked the truck???
He got a small fraction of the numbers being thrown around now, but he's getting something this year. But again, not the numbers being thrown around with recent transfers.
Funny how none of these media guys can get numbers to report on what other schools offered but they can positively confirm they took less than what Iowa was offering. Not sure how they would know that without knowing both numbers.
Actually they do Know the exact numbers...they just change the number to suit their current rumors. The inside track for MOST of the social media pundits is... they float a bunch of rumors and see which ones will stick. If that number sticks in a rumor or conversation between people on here ...well then its Gospel truth for the duration.
Great take. Hawks have a team fashioned by the times. The recruitment tree grew another branch after NIL married portal, and Tom is merrily picking from it. Critics be still, and villains be damned.
We all know, it's very important to list the actual numbers. At least where one team is concerned.
No, he didn't tell me and I doubt that he will. But he laughed at the idea of it.
I'll ask him again tonight, but I doubt he'll give me specifics. It would be bad business for him to.
What he really got was an opportunity that Iowa can't hope to match, with their current coaching staff and RTC.
I think some NIL is just during the season, but could be wrong. If a guy got 20k a month in season it would be about 100k which could easily be reported as 240k by someone who only heard the monthly amount. This is just an example as the only NIL amount I know is one of the Michigan transfers. If I know it then the wrestling "media" knows it also.
Sounds like it's going to be Petersen, based on who has posted about it on this board.
The old Jedi mind trick…But he's listed as 133/141 on the roster
The ole who wants to cut their arm off to get in the lineup trick. If it is him I hope the pull isn’t so much that he loses that explosiveness.
If you ask someone on their board they will probably says some nonsense like "Messenbrink actually paid full tuition to come here and train with the best in the world" or something similar
Is this site related to Willie or Mineo?
He asked knowing that non Iowa specific numbers are impossible to find for them…..
I heard Iowa offered him 2 million, but he went to Happy Valley for less because they have more cemeteries in Pennsylvania. Guess Iowa has to settle for SB for $500,000 instead
‘Loyalty is everything’: Penn State’s Carter Starocci seemingly rips David Taylor taking Oklahoma State head coach job"
"CARTER STAROCCI GETTING PAID $1.3 MILLION TO WRESTLE HIS 5TH-YEAR AT PENN STATE IN 2024-2025"
Well, maybe loyalty is not everything?
Endene only has an outside chance of being an AA and he got nearly $200K from a week ass school in Wisconsin. Why people are doubting $500K for actual good and proven wrestlers, I do not know.
Sad fact is that a lot of people will be "loyal" for $1.3 mil on a lot of teams. I expect other schools to penny up as well, so there will be bidding wars. We didn't design this world. We just live in it. What goes around comes around.
They're paying him $1.3M to become the first and only 5x NCAA champ.
I truly can't think of a less deserving all time great to hold that mantle than him.

UNI will have gotten a hell of a bargain when Keck wins his 2nd.
I hope you're right!
I SO HOPE this happens and we get to see the 1.3 million dollars sulk off into the sunset.... but we will also be on cemetary watch as we dont want our deceased relatives gravesites to be desecrated by the Stalling Pisser.
They are not paying him to be a 5x champ, or they would have also paid him to be a 4x champ and a 3x champ. They are paying him to come back for 1 year, and the pay talks started when Hamiti Hendrikeson, Amine, Fish etc announced their commitments, and was finalized when DT took the job. They need his 20+ points. They would have paid Kerk the same amount if he said he might not come back. Don't pretend they are paying him for some noble cause.
And why can't it be both?
Unless covid or some other pandemic comes around again there will never be another 5x champ.
They 100% want this for their noble cause.
Believe that if you choose. I'm going to go with him having a chance to be the first, and possibly, only wrestler ever to go for 5 might have upped the ante.
Plus it lowers their tax liability! The less the crooks get the better!
It's such a noble cause that he wouldn't want to attain it without 1.3 million? They convinced him to come back with 1.3 million for the points. He would have come back, or wrestled anywhere else to achieve that feat. Penn State paid him so that nobody else would get his points. Period.
Do you really think he would have gone elsewhere? I’m guessing his choices were to be done with college wrestling or come back for a fifth NC and another team championship. PSU paid him well because they could. And there are multiple reasons why they would want him to come back, right?
