As a reference, I think Nelson Brands, who many here have high hopes for, ended up #10 in his weight class on Intermat, and FLO not even putting him in the top 20 at 160#.

Good pt, and I think Nelson ends up an AA when it’s all said and done
Same reason there are more than 10 guys in the room every year.
As close as this season should be I think we will see a lot more back-ups this season. Healthy in March and all that.
I think you will see Nelson rated higher after this weekend.
LoL at the fools that say Parris won't be competitive with Cass because he hasn't wrestled freestyle at Hwt. Like it's some kind of rocket science.
Parris is a monster. If he and Cass hit it will be a very good and competitive match.
Parris is damn good from what I've seen but does not have a huge body of work because as others have said, he was into other sports. Cass is one of the most well wrestled dudes in high school...won Fargo, Pan Am etc but Parris was still ranked ahead of him because essentially, he dazzled at one tourney...Flonats.
MP could very well be the next Kyle Snyder...I guess we will see.
Until the time Nelson is ready to AA, we need to have an AA at that weight.
Don’t disagree, I think the otc would be a fabulous choice for him
Iowa with 23 in Championship play and 16 on the backside.
Here is a Hawk carrying off a gopher
Obviously a photoshop.
Tyrese Pressey will be at Fargo, interested to see how he will do.
Junior brackets posted.
Cassioppi top seed, Hutmacher 2 seed and Parris unseeded would get Cassioppi in semis.
These 3 just where I would want them to give Cassioppi a shot at both.

I heard a local sports radio guest call Hutmacher "Polar Bear" a couple months ago. Says Nash is undecided whether he wants to play football or wrestle at the next level but he apparently already has a few major college football offers and several more are showing interest.
According to 247, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Missouri, and Iowa State are his football offers.

If he believes NFL dollars are in his future he will go the football route. That is the ultimate decider of a kid that highly regarded in wrestling. There are some lesser wrestling recruits that go football because they like it better or a full ride versus considerably less. If less than a likely NFL prospect, wrestling will likely give him more glory and a full ride if he wants it at most of the 70+ D1 programs.
So do I but he's ranked and might give him a tough match. Sucks for Reeves getting "unranked" Parris in the first round.
Why go to 247 when you're already on Rivals?
He's only a junior in the fall so still a ways to go.
Brands' predicted finish by the FLO writers:
Willie - 4th place
Holmes - not in top 8
Nomad -8th
Should be interesting

I've always like Nelson as a prospect. Couldn't justify his ranking, but that's just a number next to your name. I think Nelson will give you guys solid (starting Iowa Hawkeye level) production. might take a couple years.
Chief, you are mistaken re: Parris > Cass ranking. Parris was not ranked higher than Cass b/c he 'dazzled at one tournament'. He had a head-to-head win over Cohlton Schultz, which also happened to come before Cass became the Cass we know now. There was no reason for me to have Cass jump Parris.

I could see Nelson making it to the quarters, he could face Braunagel, I think he’s wrestled him a couple times. Could face Franek in the semis.

It appears from the eye test that he is getting better and better every day. This should be a good tourney to see how he measures up against some good competition.
Hard to imagine him outside the top 8...I think there are only a couple guts in the bracket that can test him.
We will see!

Nelson has Kolby Ho state runner up to Sasso @145, he finished the season with losses to Cam Conner PA State Champ, Rocky Cabanillas NJ State Champ, Micah Hoffman PA State placer.
Great early on match up imo

Yes, but behind Brands. I meant guys he could beat that would show he could have been higher.
Eli Griffin, Kael Brisker, Schriever, Happel, DeVos, Brands, Broderson, Pressey, G. Christenson, Cass are some to keep an eye on. I didn’t see Kennedy, Glazier, Assad, Balmeceda or Howard listed. Cass’ little bro, Giovanni is also there at 138
