'07 WI OL/DL Josh Oglesby (Wisconsin signee)

[BayBuck]

His RB teammate is also a big OSU fan, and they've talked about playing there together.

This is exciting news about this 07 stud.

I wonder: who's his RB teammate? Does he already have his own BP thread, and is he a legitimate prospect for an OSU offer?

I'm not sure who he is BayBuck. No thread here, and no profiles yet in either database. I'll see if I can find out though.

Here's all I could find:

ST. FRANCIS

• Coach: Doug Sarver, 16th season, 89-61.
• Key players: Jason McClelland, sr., RB, 6-0, 170; Josh Oglesby, jr., OL, 6-7, 315; Rodney Sexton, sr., OL / DL, 6-2, 330; James Thomas, jr., RB / LB, 5-8, 205.
• Outlook: The Mariners lost eight of 11 defensive starters from last year's WIAA Division 4 state runner-up, but the offense is loaded. McClelland rushed for 2,359 yards and scored 23 touchdowns last season, earning all-state honorable mention and first-team all-conference honors.

Good find BN27... I hadn't found anything yet. I would imagine that that is the guy.

James Thomas was WFCA All-State. This has him listed as a JR.

 

[BayBuck]

That's the guy I found too, but you guys beat me to it.

Here's an article on the Milwauke Journal-Sentinel all-area team: Oglesby is first-team OT, James Thomas is second-team RB:

Check out the size discrepancy between the two first-team tackles: Oglesby is 6-7, 315, the other guy is 6-2, 260.

Wow, that is some incouraging news. Does anyone think this could be somewhat like the situation with Beanie last year? Miss on some nice prospects for one recruiting class and then make up for it by getting a big one early for the next.

I don't think our depth chart could look any better for a top OT recruit for next year. In 05 we took one OT. In 06 it looks like we will take none or maybe a project in Miller. I am not critisizing our OL recruiting, but that has to be appealing to a recruit like Josh.

Is Connor Smith not considered an OT prospect?

Is Connor Smith not considered an OT prospect?

i believe osu recruited him to play guard, but i suppose he could slide out to RT in a pinch.

 

[stxbuck]

Keep in mind some schools overrecruit and have more verbal then they can sign.

Now back to Oglesby.

Yes, but these are schools like Aubrun, LSU, FSU,etc., where they know that at least 4 or 5 guys won't qualify.....ND is not in the same boat academically, at least I hope they would have more academic integrity.....

For a small guy he's a big guy? Is this Yogi Berra?

Does anyone know?

Does anyone know if the running back is Ohio State material or can he play other positions?

Not sure but we need to get back to Josh as this is his thread.
