Heard we have a nice sized WR coming in from Brecksville. Also, got to see the offensive/defensive lineman that is coming in from West G, good size for an 8th grader .

Cleveland.com's primary HS writer, Matt Goul, came out with his best in class football player ranking for NEO and only 1 Bengal made it, Iliano at #24 on the class of '23 list. Very shocked that Jennings didn't make it on the '24 list, especially with the parade of big name schools that have made a stop at the Benny lately to visit him. Also Hoban's Sperling at 14 behind a slew of lesser RBs?!? I usually respect Matt's takes but not a lot of research went into this in my opinion...

I heard team camaraderie is the best with this group since Welo left
It is a very tight bunch. Great team culture created by the coaching staff.

Round of applause for Joe Schaefer (Class of 2004) on being hired to the Texas A&M Football Staff away from Youngstown State! Joe was head coach at Benedictine for our last title in 2014. He also won one as a player in 2003.
footballscoop.com
And even better, his replacement will be Jahmal Brown (Class if 2006), who was apart of the 2002 State Runner-Up and 2003 & 2004 State Championship Teams
Sources: Texas A&M to hire FCS defensive coordinator to off-field staff
Youngstown State defensive coordinator Joe Schaefer will join the Texas A&M staff, sources tell FootballScoop, and YSU is hiring a D2 coordinator with Ohio ties to replace him.

I have heard Iliano is looking to transfer, maybe with his buddy to Heights. Have heard he is not a big fan of some coaches/which coaches are leaving as well as many of his buddies no longer playing football at Bene. May think he'll get more looks elsewhere?

I thought I heard he was a legacy, is this the case?

Please explain....I can use a good laugh today....which buddy at Hts? Which coaches and finally who is not playing football? I will wait
Come on man you gotta be more specific when there are multiple Illiano’s in the school! ?

Unfortunately it is true. He lives in Cleveland Hts. Makes sense for him . Bene isn’t going anywhere . Bene plays Cleveland Hts this season as well.

Clev Hts is going somewhere? Lol
You say it’s true but you don’t even know which Illiano.

I didn't say it was true, just that I heard this was so. This person told me about transfers to heights(a DL and RB) that appear to be true. If by legacy you mean his younger brother, I heard his Iliano's father was not pleased with what the coaches did with his younger son, so they both could be gone

Eggs....this has been explained at least 2 or 3 times now....the RB was expelled from school for behavior and left in Oct and the DL(initials LT) is still at Benedictine....I guess we will see who has the correct info

I meant the presumed starter(10) with all that was happening I heard went to heights. I also thought it got confirmed, maybe even by you grind, that LT had went there too? Obviously if these things are not true as you say, the Iliano claim would hold less water but I am just relaying what I have heard like everyone else

If you are talking about Baker....he went to Maple Hts not Clev Hts and LT had grade issues but I heard he improved and is still in school
Happy to hear that about LT. Kid worked really hard last off season and made a huge jump, if he makes anything close to another jump like that he’ll be a really important piece in a position group that can’t afford to lose many guys.
Hope the giant freshman stays too, could really use those 2 guys.

What coaches are leaving that would effect his daily grind?
How many State Championships has Heights won?
Transferring from Benedictine to Heights would be silly. Sure they’ve had some great players come thru there, but it’s a lesser program. Lesser competition. Lesser tradition. There’s no boxes they check over Benedictine.
