St. Xavier Football 2025

yeah OHSAA says something about being impacted a Calendar year, and he came in January. I'm sure there is some sort of appeal process that people try, but I don't even think his family is going to go that route.

If he sits half of the lacrosse season he will be eligible to play the entire football season. OHSSA only pings you for the first sport you play after transferring.

Hope your right, but this straight off OHSAA:

"If a student transfers, they will be ineligible for the OHSAA tournament and for all contests at all levels once the varsity team completes the first 50% of the maximum allowable varsity regular season contests. This rule is only in place for those sports in which the student participated during the 12 months immediately preceding this transfer."

GCL to GCL transfers don't seem to be a problem (Harvey boys as an example). AD and Administration signs off and it's a done deal.

That’s not accurate at all- it is for any sports you have played in that 12 month period. That is always enforced unless there are exemptions (move, medical, bullying, academic etc).
 
I do have a question for the group. Have we received the production from Cam Taylor that warrants him to be penciled in as a lock for one of the WR positions? He has had some flashes, but hasn't been able to be great consistently. Does he get a pass because of previous QB play? Just wanted thoughts on if all 4 spots should be open for competition or not.

Who are the other candidates - Britt, Von Holle, other guys ?

Alex Walker, Brady McDonald, Roman Dean, Henry Kachman, Mike Ealy, Logan Paddock, August Betz and other JV guys I'm not familiar with. Most production came from Vollmer, Britt, TE position and Von Holle (towards end of season). Walker played and had a few receptions. McDonald is a good athlete and needs to be on the field somewhere. Others listed are unknowns to us as we haven't really seen them in varsity contests.

All WRs get a fresh start under the new OC and QB in my opinion.

The lack of a passing game the past two years is a combination of a vanilla playbook (eg: marvel package), QB limitations, and a coaching staff that refused to replace O-Lineman that showed the inability to block upfront (eg: Regional Semis vs Moe).

I would agree that you should start from scratch and give a fresh start, but coaches that have been here will definitely have their guys they are pushing to get more reps right? If thats that case is it truly a fresh start? I'm excited to see what the passing attack looks like next season.

Taylor I believe had the most receptions and highest avg per catch of any WR on St. X's roster last season. Britt had the most receptions, but those were mostly screens with an occasional wheel route out of the backfield. St. X needs to find a few weapons at TE, which could only benefit and open up the passing game.

It appears that he transferred for specific academic reasons which should allow him to play the entire season.

That would be an OHSAA decision after filing an "Exception" Form with proper administrative signatures and/or initials. Good Luck when you are dealing with the OHSAA.

As for St. X, sounds like the young man would be a solid addition to the 2025 roster.

The only academic exemption for transferring is to be a student in an International Baccalaureate program- so no that is not the case of someone transferring from Indian Hills to St. X as both offer the IB

Von Holle will be the best WR on the team. He is the fastest, has the most size, and he catches everything. He will be the best WR at StX since Clifford.

I don’t know if the above comment on Von Holle is serious or sarcastic but the kid did show some great ability to get open and catch the ball in the latter part of last year. I don’t know on his speed.
Comparing him to Clifford is probably premature but my hunch is Von Holle will figure highly in the 2025 offense.
We still need ReLoad’s roster and depth chart analysis. The masses await, ReLoad. I hope he didn’t defect to another GCL S school ?

While he certainly flashed at the end of the season and has great potential, the comparison to Clifford is a bit premature imo. I could also hear the argument that he's not as fast as Walker (if he stays at WR) or Taylor. At this point I would put Britt in the WR mix and he is definitely faster than Von Holle. People who say that the last two teams didn't have a deep threat need to be reminded that the Qb situation also made any deep balls extremely difficult. Two years ago Brady Bennett was a legit deep threat but that was rarely showcased due to Qb limitations.

I talked to a close friend that knows the family, and thats what I was told. If you know the family or have information contrary to what I was told share that. I only speak on and share things I know to be accurate. The fact that X athletics are top notch is icing on the cake. Calendar year, 12 months, it all equals a year. Whole point of that post was he'll have to sit out half lax and football season. Also noted family more than likely wouldn't go the appeal route for reasons you outlined. Also I know what IH is known for, but there isn't a way you can sit here and seriously tell me IH is as challenging at St. X. I will call BS on that everyday of the week. They sit at #10 based on what NICHE? If thats your go to source, that tells me everything I need to know about your research. The methodology NICHE uses to tabulate these lists is trash. IH isn't even the number 1 public school in the state.

I gave more than the STEM school rankings to support that statement but actually Indian Hill is one of two schools in the state with designation from ODE as a STEM school, so their program is being evaluated beyond NICHE but please do tell what your much better sources are (or was that what your "he knows people who went there and said so" supposed to be?). Also might want to be careful shunning a NICHE source considering St. X used exactly that for its marketing as the #1 All Boys Catholic School in Ohio, you know the one that was allowed to be misspelled on its printed marketing materials as the "#1 All Catholic Boys School in Ohio" (which of course is no longer true, since we're pointing out that IH is no longer the #1 public school either). I stand by my supported statement, schools do exist that are not inferior to St. X academically...seriously...and yes IH is one of them. Ethan Cole isn't going to find the cure to cancer at St. X any faster than he would have at IH (but he is going to get to state in lax and football with St. X much faster than IH).

I think he next in line for sure. I would also think serious consideration has to be given to Weber as well. But her might not want it.

Klotz makes more sense as he is a teacher. Brodbeck would be great, but he owns a private business. Brodbeck probably is one of the best young coaches around. Both Klotz and Brodbeck have very young families as well, so time commitment could be a factor. Weber would be perfect as well, but he also owns several businesses, however his family is grown and maybe would have the time.

Indian Hill and St. X are both fantastic schools as well as Moeller and Sycamore. I hope someone from any school cures cancer one day.

Attention: 4GX
I remember that you've done a fair amount of research on how X stacks up locally and state-wide with other private schools and public districts, academically, athletically, etc. Maybe this topic is a dead horse but it seemed to me to be right down your alley. Either way you look at it, the Coles have made a good decision for their son as far as the here-and-now and 20, 30, 40 years into the future. And TaxiMama, I'm not attempting a dig at IH at all so please don't take it that way.

Heard St. X's first scrimmage action will be on the road at Pick Central in a tri-scrimmage with Canal Winchester.

You heard correct, and the final tune up per the finalized schedule is against Mason. Happy they got Colerain off of the schedule, it really wasn't helpful to X or Colerain for a final dress rehearsal.
