Heard that Caudill kid is pretty tough, played through lots of injuries in his stint at moeller. He's been grinding all offseason and should see some playing time in the future.... thoughts?
As of right now, Fickell is too small to play at the Varsity level, especially on the line.Will be interesting to see what position Fickell's kid plays and if he plays on the varsity. I think he would be a great guard or center.
He's not a TE so OL or DL will most likely be his position. Hopefully he can get bigger and stronger. He's a good looking kid for his age. I think if McKenzie can throw the ball we have some weapons with Khayo, Bradfish and Valentine. Watkins isn't bad catching the ball out of the backfield either. Key is......getting the ball to them. Should be interesting. Any word on when they are going to put the Iron Man plaques back up in the weight room? Boy that is neat to walk in there and see all those names, records and teams. I can't believe anyone would want to take that history down when it's been there since the start. Hopefully they will go back up.
Fickell, like McKenzie, is already significantly older for their grade fyi...
Outside of everything else that's been discussed...does anyone know any details on how many kids we're looking at in the program at the moment?
I mentioned last year, it looked like a troubling amount of kids on the JV and Frosh rosters last year. As a football alum, I'm shocked the numbers were/are that low.
I'm glad Coach Rosfeld is at the helm, but I'm just really concerned about the #'s in the program and the lack of experience on the coaching staff. My concern on the coaching staff stems from a lack of x's and o's experience. I'm convinced, at least partly, the lack of on field success the past few years stems from poor game planning.
So, in my opinion...until the numbers get back up and this program takes the field weekly with a cognizant gameplan, the results won't be much different.
I'm hoping someone can walk me off the ledge!!!
Thanks for sharing this very irrelevant information. fyi
The comment was in regards to the discussion regarding his physical development. Age of the player is completely relevant- obviously a sophomore that is 15 vs one that is 17 is typically going to have more potential for developing physically.

I'm not concerned about numbers and have heard numbers this year are up but we don't need "bodies" we need PLAYERS who can get on the field and play. People talk about guys playing both ways and every other team is doing it because of "numbers" or lack of players so it doesn't matter if we have 90 guys dress on Friday nights we need players who can get on the field. I've noticed for the past few years that after a starter goes down the back-up who goes in is the talent level is a big drop from the starter. We all know there will be injuries with the schedule that we play. So until we get more players nothing is going to change. Numbers don't put W's on the board.
Don't quote me on this but Rumor has it that 6'4 215lb quarterback Michael Thompson is coming back to Moeller. Thompson was the freshman quarterback for Moeller 2 years ago. He did a stellar job on the freshman team. This would be huge if he does actually come to moeller.

What's the word on the DC and what defense we will be running?
I have also heard this rumor. Sad news for Caudill
This could be really good for Caudill because it would give him someone else to compete against. This should make for an interesting QB situation going into 2019. Big Moe might have to play both of these kids.

Right before the start of the season last year his dad was transferred to England I believe for work. I guess he's transferred back to the states. I believe he was from Indian Hill. Played QB his freshman year and played very well. Strong arm and can throw it. Size allows him to run the football which he also did well. I heard good things about him prior to him leaving. Should be someone who can compete with McKenzie for the job.
Can the Caudill family stay off this thread and let us talk about the guys that are going to play?
Awful quite on the is thread. I'm hearing that the new DC may not be staying at Moeller. It's the end of May and we don't have our DC? In the past they have started Camp mid-July. It's getting late. I just hope Naumann isn't the DC. If it comes to that let Coach Klonne be the DC.
