Heard that Brady Bennett was leading the crew, excited to see what he is going to do next year!

Good to hear.
Need next year's seniors to step up and lead the 2023 team.
Bennett saw some time at CB in Week 3 and showed promise with his size (6'1" 180lb) and speed

X struggled on Kickoff team and punter, but looked good on kickoff returns and punt returns. Who returns on Kick Off and Punt Return and do they have a kicker who can put it in the endzone on Kick Off. FYI - Reload has strange hours. 330am and 430am posts?
 
It will be interesting to see if Specht makes any changes to the coaching staff. It seems like there are some guys on the JV coaching staff that should be on the Varsity staff, but it could be they don't have the time and availability to coach Varsity. Lot of good football IQ on the JV staff.
 
I know they locked down an O line coach in the middle of the season Alex Sulfsted (played at Miami Ohio and some NFL) having him for the whole offseason and really evaluating the line will hopefully lead to an improved unit. What coaches do you think they could possibly swap out?

I don’t think “time” has anything to do with a HS Coach at any level. They All put in a ton of time, no matter the level.

Some good West Side Coaches on that staff. Coach Fox - Can and does coach a little Varsity / Coach Weber - could be a Varsity Head Coach. Fox has been there for a while. The other coaches I am not sure about.
 
Any idea on schedule, I assume West stays as week 1, Penn contract is over as well as liberty. And week 10 is open.
 
What I have so far:

CINCINNATI ST. XAVIER
1 - (H) Lakota West
2 - (A) King (MI)
3 - (A) McCallie (TN)
4 - (A) Cincinnati Withrow
5 - (A) Cincinnati Moeller (Nippert Stadium?)
6 - (H) Cincinnati Elder
7 - (H) Trinity (KY)
8 - (H) Cincinnati LaSalle
9 - (A) Cleveland St. Ignatius (Strongsville HS)
10 - (H) Ocala Trinity Catholic (FL)

Ok, since no takers, I'll bite.
1. I think Herbie is QB 75-80% of the time. Vollmer is QB 20-25%. When DV is not QB he is all over the offensive backfield....RB, slot receiver, wide out etc.
2/3. These 2 questions are related IMO. One will be OLine and the other DLine. I think more likely to keep Hammond on DLine where he has been the past 3 years and Fleetwood who will be 300lbs will be more suited for OLine and follow in brother Evan's cleat steps. If this is the case I see both on the ball, Fleetwood at center and TH at NG.
4/5. These may be related as well to separate these 2 so they both play. Weber was more effective IMO on defense than offense so see him there. O'Malley knows the offensive playbook and showed he is elusive and fairly fast so I would expect him at WR.
6. Looking at the talent at LB and the fact that JKattus has a year playing DLine under his belt, I think JKattus goes on the Coach T program and adds 20 lbs and will be 6'2 240lb at camp
7. Likely. Not sure any of the other RBs will be able to break into this

Hey ReJect, I hear that Big Moe just pulled back the curtain on a certain Frosh QB that could be the second best player in the GCL-S behind JM. Maybe you should circulate a petition to have that week 5 game open so as to avoid further embarrassment. GBM 💪 🏈

He had 100 yards against a bad mason defense. Relax.

He'll go the route of your last famed QB, Deuce what's his face, and drop football for another sport.
X tried to have a pitcher play QB for a year and it didn't work out.....different throwing motions

Tyler Stegbauer can fill the Pete Rose Jr. “role”. Little Pete really added to the offense, his legacy will be continued through Tyler protecting Herbstreit in the back field.

With the Steg duo they might outcompete Steve Napier and Gage Patrick could be utilized as a slot receiver like he was at the beginning of last year.

You don't have to be out-of-season on a sport to be in the weight room-- most sports teams require their athletes to be doing weight training all year round-- including during that sport's season-- certainly football does-- why would you assume it is any different for other sports?

Gotta be one of the more unusual sport combinations...

Some interesting (controversial?) choices...

3 for 16 for 27 yards and 1 INT
Maybe the receivers should have worn catcher's mitts
lol
