He's going to wrestle in the Dream Team Classic. Could wrestle Meeks. That'll be a great match if they're at the same weight. I'd lean Meeks right now, but i hope we get to see it.

I'd much rather have Skonieczny than Meeks. Yes it sounds odd bc Meeks is a 4xer but Nate is just agressive and fits our system better!
AGREED. He is a 2x Ironman champion, which to me outranks a 4x state champion anyday.
Maybe, but undefeated 4x'ers from iowa are usually pretty special. the last two were McGinnis and Jeurgens. Both won two national titles. So i'd put 4x undefeated above 2x Ironman for sure.

I'll take Nate over Meeks any day. The reason - because he's the guy Brands wanted. He's a friggin' beast and i'll be surprised if he's not our 149 pounder next year.
He is wrestling 138 this year, and you are going to throw him as a true freshman onto the mat at a weight class 11 pounds heavier at the collegiate level? Welcome to the big leagues I guess......I'll take Nate over Meeks any day. The reason - because he's the guy Brands wanted.

I just don't think Meeks would have been a undefeated four timer if he had gone to the ironman, it's very hard to survive the toughest tournament in the nation let alone win it twice. 2x ironman champions are also somewhat special (Mark Perry, Kellen Russell, Steve Luke, Lance Palmer to name a few) and I just think winning the ironman tournament carries alot more weight than an Iowa (or any other state) title.
You guys seriously think that he's going to come in as a true freshman and be able to beat the likes of Ballweg, Trizzino, Dziewa, Kelly, Grothus, etc...? He will not be in the lineup next year and I personally think it takes a few years before he cracks the lineup.
BTW, I would take Meeks to win the head to head right now.
