<<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.>>

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!
Whether he places top 8 or wins it all there are more than a couple guys in the bracket that can test him. A lot of these dudes are free/greco specialists.
 
I think Dow was rated higher than him for quite awhile.
Dow was ranked #61 in November and Brands was #80 for recruiting class rankings. Dow was ranked #50 in the recruiting class rankings by flo and Nelson was #93. This was there latest ranking done in March. So the gap ranking wise has widened.

Franek and Kanniard both ranked higher as well.

Intermat has Dow at #14 at 160 and Nelson at #10 160.

Parris has Emerson this round. I don't expect Emerson to truly challenge him, but he is no chump(#66 FLO, took 2nd and 1st last 2 years in MI and won NHSCA Senior Nationals). If Parris runs through him, watch out.
 
Pretty much all the Iowa guys that you though would win, have so far: Blockhus has spent a minute on the mat...Broderson looks good, Schriever, Biscoglia, Runyon, Shapiro, DeJong, Brands, Sarasin and a few others.

Biscoglia, Sarasin, and Shapiro are all Pablo. Brands is Eastern Iowa Wrestling Club. Schriever is in Sebolt's. Not sure on the rest of the guys, but it's good to see several clubs across the state producing.
 
Nelson is not the biggest 160 pounder. I see 157 with maybe 165 in college.

Seems like he's slimmed down a bit since we last saw him competing in HS, but maybe that's just me. It will be interesting on seeing where he ends up, we have a need at 157 it appears...
