Nelson is back
- Thread starter funnyfletcher
- Start date
Strong probability that missing last season and being left with the impression he was missing his last season will give him a different perspective. I don't expect him to suffer from the "I have had enough" syndrome.
I have a healthy dose of smart @$$ in me so I love it.
Everyone at 184 will have a brawl on their hands with Nelson, bank on him ready to make serious noise in march!
Nelson is extremely strong and athletic, He has neen wrestling 86kg and looks every bit the part. Nelson in his grove will give everyone at the weight big problems

Ok, so let's talk about this age thing.
OTHER than a reason to diss a guy, what on earth does it matter?
Wrestling is different, period. There is no "pro" to transition to, and if there was, you likely would not see this in wrestling. So, when a guy like Nelson, or the many we've seen especially since Covid, want to stick around and fulfill their wrestling NCAA eligibility, why is that a bad thing or disrespected??
If you have ever wrestled, you know what it is likely like for most of us who "wish" they could have the opportunity of one more ride. We know what it is like to leave the sport and carry years of, "damn I wish I would have done this or that."
But, these young men have a period of opportunities to wrestle, in a sport they love, and get the most out of it, before they hang up the shoes forever. Few will go on to coaching opportunities, few will continue on and try to make the world and olympic teams, but most will go out into the world and never wrestle again.
So, the question I have is, why the hell would you NOT maximize your opportunities?? I was a HS coach, I would absolutely tell kids to get the most out of the sport you can, if you love it. As a parent, I would tell my child the same. Do it why you can, if you love it! Because you never get to do it again. And that can mean alot if things, DON'T take it for granted, give it all you have and then some, put yourself in opportunities to win and be successful, and do the work. And when you are done working, work some more. Is that not what we want our athletes to carry with them after competing??
And have we not figured out by now that it is not a competitive advantage in most cases. The Spencer Lee's, Storraci's of this sport will come right in and beat your but no matter. So THAT argument is out the door.
So, what is it?? I will tell you. It is ignorance to the sport, ignorance to the athlete, disrespectful and at the end of the day, just plain nonsense.
As a Hawkfan, I do not want to see Carter S come back and win another title. But, I fully expected him to, because, why the hell not?? He will never get the chance to do it again.
I’m betting you don’t have a life so you get your little rocks off trying to berate those that do. I don’t get some of you guys. You might be great Americans but you act like little piss ants.
It doesn't. Crap changes. The mocking of Kem, Fix, etc. was freaking dumb and so is this.
if you can’t take some banter about nelson’s age then it might be best to stay off the internet. it’s a dumb “insult” but who cares, people are idiots.
Hes not good enough to make a joke about breaking the law. Only reason this clown is back in the lineup is because of his last name.
I think we all appreciate the jokes. It's the posts where people are critical or anti that are the issue.
Please list the laws he broke. Also please help us understand why we wouldn't bring back a guy at a need weight who AA'ed during his last eligible season, regardless of his last name.
I will hang up and listen.
This isn’t football or basketball. Nelson is actually good.
I can’t believe Hardy from Nebraska still has a couple years of eligibility. He may be pushing 30 by the time he’s done 😂
shut the **** up
Go on, please tell us more about this brilliant take
I'm glad Nelson is back. He is a good sized '84 and will be ready to go!
Don’t quite get the Brands angst. Former AA who gave a now 4-timer all he could handle (losing only 2-1) is perfectly positioned to man 184 while a stud recruit redshirts and muscles up to inherit the weight. Given his suspension involved questionable circumstances, I don’t see HEW here, but more of an I’ll-show-them, chip-on-shoulder attitude driving Brands to make his last season his best ever.
If he has the year to wrestle, why not take advantage of it?? I graduated from HS in '69,served a tour in Nam,and came back home and wrestled 4 years at a D2 school. I was 25 when I wrestled my last year. I think "the joke" would be to have a year left and not use it.
Glazier will be our 197lber basically all but confirmed as per @Multi-Hawk
For the record:
1. I'm happy Brands is back. Good for him.
2. I'm happy we got Parco. Good work, TB.
3. Not a fan of the two older Ferraris, but I like TB's chutzpah in trying to get them.
4. I couldn't care less whether there are windows in the new wrestling room.
5. Noooo, please don't start up again with the politics. Aaagggghhhh!

Keckeisen is a beast, he is by far my favorite non Hawk. He is a problem for anyone, Brands could very well be in the finals against him.
That’s not what he said. He said right now he sees himself as a 174 pounder. But it’s a failure if they don’t decide this fast
his exact words were “for me in my head I’m going 174. i know there has been a lot of speculation that i am going 184 because i wrestled 86kg at last chance but no i’m going 174 so that is my plan. regarding that the iowa room always works itself out.”
This couldn't be any more of an Iowa/Brands situation.
