I'm kind of surprised he's not entering the UWW junior tournament. Is he still cadet eligible for UWW?

No.
1st year USA juniors (turning 17 at any point in the current calender year) at eligible for UWW cadets. Brands wrestled juniors at Fargo last year so he is probably turning 18 this calender year making him a 2nd year junior.

Nelson at 160 & thighs are like tree trunks. What weight do you think he wrestles in college?

Nelson at 160 & thighs are like tree trunks. What weight do you think he wrestles in college?

65/74

 

[rossel 33]

Awesome!

Can't wait to see the FS results.

Nelson at 160 & thighs are like tree trunks. What weight do you think he wrestles in college?

His thighs seriously do look like tree trunks. He is solid. I can't even make an educated guess on his future weight though because I have never seen him compete in person. For me, that is the only way I feel like I can even attempt at guessing future weight classes. It is safe to assume he will be moving up at least one weight class for next season though, just with the weigh in rules here vs. the regular folkstyle weight rules in high school, if he is competing at 160 in April following competing at 152 during his high school season, the chances of his coming down are quite slim. It wouldn't shock me if he was competing at 170 his Senior year. So... after a redshirt season,,,.who knows... He is looking like a better and better prospect to me. It will be interesting to see where he is ranked next year by the national pundits.

 

[HawkeyeEmpire]

I would guess him at 157/165 in college. I think he would need to get quite a bit taller to make an ideal 174 which is possible I guess...... so in other words I have no idea, lol

Come on, now, Hawk fans. Let's please remember the proper use of the asterisk (preferably three of them, to connote the four-letter word) when referring to f***.

 

[WWDMHawkeye]

Alright, boys! Let's keep 'er rolling.

I thought they looked like tree trunks.

I believe the person Wilson beat in the finals was a Fargo AA in Greco last year.

 

[ia.sd.wi.hawk]

Yes and he is going to SDSU next year.

Wilson wins 14-11 in 2nd round.

Looks like that was the score when he got a fall.

Missed that detail.

 

[MVPFAN]

Missed that detail.

They show 14-11 but I had it up on the dashboard during the match and it flashed match over with a result of Wilson by fall. Hard to tell, they get things wrong sometimes.

bottom line is he won and moved on...

Looks like Wilson also wrestled UWW Junior Greco

Lost to Thomas Brackett - West Tennessee Takedown Club, 11-0

Getting a lot of matches in this weekend, unless there are 2 Myles Wilsons ????
