Wow, just got caught up on the draft. Unbelievable this shit is already going on with 9 and 10 year old kids, though it really shouldn't surprise me. I have known a few Reese's. His Father will pull me aside in 5 years at the incoming Freshmen orientation and tell me where he should play, how much he should play and how to best change our schemes to accommodate him....Can't wait!!
Sounds like you did fairly well considering the obstacles, plus the Double Wing could be your ace in the hole. If the other Coaches haven't seen it much they will probably bring 8-9 kids up in the box......which will be just what you want.
Since they have already been in pads are you able to go full pads from day 1 as a team?
