He looked good on film, and showed impressive nimbleness for a man his size...

I agree...I also think he is ours to lose. I would like to see him at OSU playing either sport...especially football. Hazell could take his raw measruables and teach him some technique and turn him into a fierce WR. Has anyone seen a 40 time listed for him yet?

IMO, he should be a top priority at WR. I have not seen any tapes on him, but the fact he is a great basketball player shows how active and athletic he is for a guy his size. It boggles my mind to see so many tall atheletes out there that could make a great living being WR's, rather than being just another 6'5" or 6'6" basketball player. Josh could do wonders for our passing game.

According to Josh, Illinois (offer) leads over Ohio State, Notre Dame and Purdue (offer). Chichester also claims offers from Louisville, Iowa, Cincinnati, Boston College, Pittsburgh and Miami (Ohio).

He likes OSU because its close to home. Josh states that all the schools that have offered, have offered for football and basketball.<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

Josh says he is pretty certain he will play both football and basketball at the next level. His athletic ability on the hardwood have reminded some of Syracuse star Hakim Warrick and former Pittsburgh Steelers stand-out Plaxico Burress on the grid-iron.

His top three schools are Ohio State, Illinois and Notre Dame. Illinois has offered at this point. Kentucky has shown some interest, while Cincinnati and Boston College are said to have offered as well. Some of his basketball-only scholarships so far are Dayton, Purdue, and Xavier.

(I am hearing that Matta is working with Tressel on the possiblity of offering a scholie, that is the hold up.)

From Bucknuts...Josh is patiently waiting on an offer from OSU. Nebraska, Illinois, Cincinnati, Miami (University), Iowa, Boston College, Louisville, Purdue and Pitt have offered him to play both football and basketball. An OSU offer would vault them into his Top 5. He has not had many conversations with Thad Matta. He plans to attend football camp at OSU.

probably so. he would county towards the 85 allotment for football if he did choose osu. given such, there might not be room for him in this class.

Nebraska Leaps For Extremely Tall Prospect
</TD></TR><TR><TD align=middle></TD></TR><TR><TD vAlign=top>When looking at extreme height, the typical prospects you find will be offensive linemen, specifically tackles. What if you were able to have such height at a skill position, say wide receiver? It almost seems like an unfair prospect, but it is a very real one as Nebraska is looking to secure a Midwestern recruit with all the tools to literally live large.

</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
Josh does not name a leader, wants to play in the midwest. He stands at a whopping 6’ 8” and weighs in at 210 pounds while clocking in at a 4.7 40 yard dash. Josh will be visited in the future by two schools with slightly different looks. Xavier will be visiting with an obvious skew towards basketball while Illinois is looking at him as a basketball and football prospect. Josh said that if he ends up going to a school that has a football and basketball program, he would like to play both sports.

He is getting interest from Nebraska, Illinois, Boston College, Miami (OH), Iowa, Louisville, Ohio State and Cincinatti.

Chichester scored 12 points in Ohio's victory over St. Louis Gameface friday. Josh says he is going to try to play both basketball and football at the next level and he is intereste in these schools right now...Notre Dame, Illinois, Ohio State, North Carolina, and Purdue.​
He states all those schools have offered him for football and would let him play both sports in college.​

Given the type of class Matta is reeling in for 06', I wouldn't worry about the state of the basketball program being a hindrance to getting Josh. If he chooses to become a Buckeye, the hoops program will be as good as any other Big 10 school.

5/3 (UK)

Illinois, UC, Notre Dame, and Kentucky have been showing the most interest towards Josh, but Ohio State, Dayton, Xavier, Boston College, Iowa, Michigan, Pittsburgh, Purdue, and West Virginia are also in the picture. Tubby Smith was in to visit him and the Illinois staff has made an impression. However, Josh stated that if an offer from tOSU comes, they would be on his short list. He does want to play basketball and football in college.
