Blue & Gold

Here is Trimble's bio from St. John's He's a stocky 6'3" guard. Before I clicked his bio I was crossing my fingers that he was a big. I'm sure he's a player, but do we really need another guard?

Just landed another one Nathaniel Williams, OT/DT, 6'5, 301, Newark Catholic HS, Newark, OH huld video Watching his video, he seems to move really well for an OL.

Good call, @94zipgrad, looks like Snowden is our 1st commit for 2020. Michael Snowden, OLB, WR, RB, 6-2, 195, 4.5 40. University Prep HS, Pittsburgh, PA. hull profile

IIRC, Deji Ibatayo (so?) played PG? Didn’t work out so well.

Neither do I. Honestly, shhh, don't tell any of the non-football athletes, but I don't think anyone pays attention to it anyway. Frankly, I don't think most people even really understand what it is. Everyone, rightly, associates the "real" Wagon Wheel with the football game.

And still learning new systems.

Definitely. Marcus Wattley as HC & Otis as an assistant. I just hope neither have bad feelings or resentment toward UA for not being retained by Coach Arth. Here's the tweet I saw. Idk when/where it was taken, but Otis is sporting Zips' gear.

I’m on my phone, so can’t post the tweet, but it looks like Otis Mounds is now an assistant coach at McKinley under Marcus Wattley.

Jeff Young is awesome. My mom used to work as Walsh's graphics designer. Being the school's only graphic designer, she was always pretty swamped with work. She told me on a number of occasions that Jeff was the most patient & grateful person she dealt with at the school.

Mark Kostelac now @ Walsh

I'm satisfied with who we signed. I remember reading about Tribble's game a couple of years ago. (I remembered after seeing the cool birthmark on his eye.) He can help us this season. Especially given that college ball is so guard dominant, if I had to pick one of the two, I'd pick who we got. Having said that, we're definitely going to need to bring in two bigs for the 2020-21 season.
