Profile: A top flight prospect that will be in an NFL camp one day. Has all the tools and uses them every play. Unbelievable work ethic and leadership. Great young man. Great hands and body control. Superb basketball player as well.
Academic Status: Full NCAA qualifier


OK, so why would a "full NCAA qualifier" go to Harmony Community School when he has college schlorship offers? Surely he could pass some college's admission requirements.

Cards high on Chichester
6-8 Lakota West grad expected to grow into offensive threat
BY BRIAN BENNETT | THE LOUISVILLE COURIER-JOURNAL

Rarely a day goes by when Josh Chichester doesn't hear some version of the same question.
"Wow, you're tall," someone will say to the University of Louisville freshman football player. "Why aren't you playing basketball?"
It's an understandable curiosity - you don't see a 6-foot-8 wide receiver every day. Chichester has drawn plenty of interest from fans during the Cardinals' spring practices, more for his height than for his still-developing skills.

UofL hoops adds football player
SPECIAL TO KENTUCKY.COM
LOUISVILLE ? Josh Chichester, a 6-foot-8, 225-pound wide receiver on the University of Louisville football team, has joined the basketball team and is available to participate immediately, the school announced Wednesday.

He began practicing with the team on Wednesday, adding to a severely depleted U of L front line.

"We're real happy to have Josh on our team," said U of L Coach Rick Pitino. "It's been a difficult few weeks in practice. Josh has very good athleticism and will help us in practice. It will take him a few weeks to learn the system and then will possibly be able to help us in games. (Assistant coach) Walter McCarty has been able to become a coach again and Josh's arrival will relieve him of most of his playing duties in practice."

Chichester redshirted his freshman year with the football team this fall after enrolling in the spring of 2006. He is expected to compete for a starting wide receiver position next season.

Cards get loaner from football team: 6-8 Chichester
Pitino says WR has 'good athleticism'

The Courier-Journal



The depleted University of Louisville men's basketball team added another body yesterday by borrowing from the school's football team.

Josh Chichester, a 6-foot-8, 225-pound wide receiver for the football Cardinals, joined the basketball team and is available to participate immediately. He began practicing with the team yesterday.



"We're real happy to have Josh on our team," basketball coach Rick Pitino said in a release. "It's been a difficult few weeks in practice.

"Josh has very good athleticism and will help us in practice. It will take him a few weeks to learn the system and then will possibly be able to help us in games.

Watched the L'ville game a few hours ago and I saw Josh in with 4-5 minutes left in the game in a L'ville defeat vs. Purdue. Big Ten representing in B-ball. I was surprised to see him in at that juncture of the game being that this was the first week practicing with the team. At the time, L'ville was only down by 2-4 points and was in the process of a rally of 13 down. Didn't see much of him but he definately is long and lanky. Those long arms would be nice to have with all the zone the Buckeyes have been running this year. Good luck to you Josh. Sorry the marriage didn't work out with the Bucks.

I actually liked Josh better as a b-ball prospect coming out of H.S.... I think he could have been All-Conference at a high mid-major...

Chichester sighting at the Louisville-Rutgers game.

They tossed up a jump ball to him (vs a 5-10 receiver), didn't make the catch, but drew the PI flag that led to the Louisville score. Looks... big, I guess :P

Tight end for Memphis Tigers' foe Louisville catches on as a junior
Still proud of mark he left in basketball record book
By Phil Stukenborg

Posted October 7, 2010 at midnight

Josh Chichester, a junior tight end at Louisville, is understandably proud of a Big East record he owns and one he'll remind you never will be broken.
Memphis at Louisville

Chichester, who is 6-9 and 240 pounds, played briefly for Rick Pitino's Cardinals basketball team three years ago when the UofL was experiencing depth issues on its front line. Chichester, a former prep basketball standout at Lakota West High in West Chester, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati, played in several games and was able to attempt two shots. He made them both. He knocked down a jumper and converted a dunk.

The career 100 percent shooter had a blast.

''I enjoyed that,'' Chichester said. ''I had so much fun. When I got that call from coach Pitino, it was just a great time to be with that team. I was recruited as a basketball player as well as a football player.''

Chichester was a two-sport star at Lakota West and averaged 13.1 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.7 blocks for a team that finished 19-4. He was a three-year starter and finished as the school's career rebounding leader.

He said he appeared ''in about nine or 10 games'' for Louisville, mostly to run out the clock. He said his successful jump shot came against Kentucky in a game at Rupp Arena, which was a college career highlight.

''Football has been my dream since I was a kid,'' he said. ''I started playing basketball in the eighth or ninth grade, and it happened to grow on me.''
