Yeah, he played. His performance was a bit uneven. He did an excellent job of opening holes for John, but he was schooled by DE Louis Nzegwu against the pass. When he gets momentum going forward he can maul defenders. But lateral quickness is a legitimate concern. It's not going to prevent him from being an above average starter in college, however he may not ascend to 1st Team All Big Ten Status because of that weakness. I liked Oglesby, but he wasn't ranked as one of my personal top 5 recruits from that outstanding Badger class quality-wise.
BTW, Nzegwu (from Wisconsin) was a player at the time which I thought should have been recruited by the Buckeyes. He was the fastest player at the Schaumberg Midwest Combine, running in the 4.4's, at almost 230 pounds. IIRC, his vertical leap was over 40 inches (43?). His shuttle time was around 4 (sub?). He was an athletic freak, who is beginning to realize his potential early in his career.
