West Holmes, Senior, Ashland. Either one of those three West Holmes did replace their head coach so they may look different this season. Leppla has experience coaching on teams that have had similar offensive philosophies/tendencies to what WH has done under their previous coach, so should be interesting to see what they look like on that side of the ball this year. If most of the staff remains intact I cant see them undergoing any major wholesale changes. But time will tell.

Danville did something slightly similar when they had a bull as a QB, but most recent at Wooster it was not very comparable to what West Holmes has been doing.

I was thinking of a few years ago when they were very talented at WR and QB

West Holmes, Senior, Ashland. Either one of those three Mansfield should be out in front. West Holmes lost a lot, return some but have a new head coach so they have some unknowns. Ashland going from 5th place to first would be a very good jump.

I think Ashland’s QB is getting a lot of looks from D1 schools if I’m not mistaken?

New Regional and Divisional assignments where released on Friday for football. Nothing major but Ashland did move back into D2 and with Mount Vernon leaving they are the biggest school in the OCC over Wooster (surprised a little by this). Looks like everyone else stayed where they were last year.
Below is the Numbers without Adjustments Ashland - 420 D2 Wooster - 409 D2 New Philadelphia -372 D3 Mansfield - 359 D3 (Mansfield is the biggest school in D3 now because of there adjusted transfer number's.) Madison -341 D3 Lexington - 288 D3 West Holmes -225 D4
New for next year Dover - 353 D3

I don’t want to take anything away from that. I personally think he should have gone earlier. How many guys are as versatile as him? He started as a linebacker on an elite division one school. He was a leading receiver on an elite division one school. He’s obviously a locker room guy as a two time captain. He can contribute on every special team. Houston got a bargain, IMO.

A lot of offers coming in for the Fogle kid at Lexington. Will be interesting to see what path he chose's. If you are talking about the path for basketball or football, the NIL difference and scholarships are not even close. Football has like 82 scholarships while basketball has about 13. The NIL money available for football players is much higher than basketball. A 3 star football guy and make six figures in football while a 3 star basketball guy may have 6 D1 offers.

But the kid has played basketball his whole life….seems like Football is just starting to take shape. There will no doubt be bigger opportunities in football, but not many kids get to choose D1 basketball vs D1 football.

He has been getting both options put in front of him but the more lucrative offers will be coming from football.

Everything I've seen on the court shows he has exceptional coordination/body control, and his short/mid-range jumper when it is built into the rhythm of his game is awesome. It makes me forget he has two years left to terrorize this area. That said, the basketball lane has to be concerned with his shooting at this point. It doesn't look natural for him to take a set shot.
I haven't seen him play football besides a few stray WMFD highlights. I don't know what the weaknesses are there, but basketball gives you a pretty clear one at this point.

I don't know what the weaknesses are there, but basketball gives you a pretty clear one at this point. Everything you have seen of him outside of the mid range has been him working on expanding his game last year. I remember watching Jon Sanderson at Lexington a few years back. He did not have much of a long range shot early on as he grew up in the paint but continued to work on it and was recruited by some pretty good schools and had a good college career as basically a 30% 3pt shooter. But football is recruiting him for his size and athleticism, not his skills. So that is a much easier offer to accept as a high school sophomore. Be yourself and have Big Ten schools calling you daily or get in the gym 4 days a week for hours working hard just to get major D1 schools to gain interest.

Fogle will be a D1 football player. Unless he turns into a lights out 3 shooter, there's thousands of 6-4 small forwards. Great kid with work ethic! Football will be his college sport unless he wants to go D2.

Football will be his college sport unless he wants to go D2. Football will be a much easier option for him. His size and current athleticism makes him a football target. He can stay the same player he is now and continue to get D1 football offers. If he wants to play D1 basketball he will need to continue working on his game. There are thousands of 6-5 basketball players on D1 college basketball teams.

Lex junior quarterback Joey Caudill got his first Div I offer from Miami of Ohio. He has good size and athleticism for a college QB. Saw him play twice last season and he is raw. Ran the ball more than he threw it when I saw him.

Was told by someone in attendance at the Willard 7on7 that the Lexington team "destroyed" everyone by 30. I know Willard has not been strong in football lately but neither has Lexington. Does anyone know who else was there?

Football will be his college sport unless he wants to go D2. I just saw that Fogle currently has 10 D1 football offers and 8 D1 basketball offers reported by 247.
