'06 OH WR Josh Chichester (Louisville signee)

[The Man]

I would imagine a lot of jump balls in the red zone are tossed his way.

Any interest with Josh now that Petrino is gone?

From the Harmony Community School's site:

Josh Chichester
Position: WR
Height: 6'8"
Weight: 211 lbs
Bench: 275 lbs
40 Yard: 4.63 s


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.

He was not a full qualifier when he enrolled at Harmony, but has since completed the work necessary to be eligible to enroll in a 4-year institution.

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.

Ahh....Chich.

We hardly knew ye.

What a shame things didn't work out for Chich-tOSU...good to see them working out for him.

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...
