At the time it seemed like another blow to recruiting, but I would rather Oglesby than Brust. Brust has more ytd points due to more PT, but Oglesby is a more complete player.
In hindsight, I'm glad he didn't come to Iowa. He will end up being a very good 3 point shooter for Wisconsin the next couple of years, but he isn't a good defender and he isn't Big Ten pg material. I think Oglesby can and will be the better player all around when all is said and done. They are very equal players really with Oglesby having about 3-4 inch height advantage.
In terms of young PGs in the conference, I would rate them:
1) Sobolewski
2) Oglesby
3) Brust
Impressive list, especially considering Oglesby is not even a point guard.
Was that a serious post or not? because Trey Burke takes those players lunch money daily.I know, but he has run the point at times with Cartwright out and been almost as good as Sobolewski.
Not a Brust fan at all, glad we got JO instead. Also, I hate Weasel Ryan as much as I hate Pat Fitzgerald!I am not sure why the CR Gazette is so enamored with these spotlight articles about kids that don't pick Iowa. Great, Uthoff picked Wisconsin, we got Aaron White, why don't they write that? Their last question about any regrets is right out of the Seth Davis School of Journalism. What is he going to say? "Yeah, it sucks to sit on the bench all year and it's really cold and I miss Happy Joe's Pizza".
