at 189, Samuels(CHSAA) vs. Nelson(Section 1) who wins this??
Samuels. He is a returning Public State place winner and has been recruited by Lehigh. Greg Strobel, Lehigh Head Coach was in the Fordham wrestling room 2 weeks ago. Kadeem is perhaps one of the best natural athletes in wrestling in a long time.
Most Definitely Samuels, TJ is good but Kaddem is real good. Not only was he section 2 champ for Shen last year and 5th in NYS he is originally from Michigan or Minnesota I believe and he won the state there before moving to the Empire State prior to last season
Hello –
Are you talking about Kadeem living in Section 2 & Minnesota. Totally Not true. Where did you get your information? Kadeem grew up and has lived on Jerome Avenue in the Bronx all his life. He has been at Fordham Prep since he was a freshman.
Then it was my mistake, there was a kid by the name Kadeem, or similar last year, I must have gotten the two confused, I thought the kid I am thinking of was a junior last year, and did not see him with Shen this year, I could have gotten bad information from some one. My Bad
Sorry, that kids name was Kareem, one letter sorry
