Hehhe that jersey make it looks like he plays for Communistburgville, Ky. Must be an AAU jersey?

Edit: Reading some of those articles it sounds like he's quite the player (commie or not, hehe). I wonder why the lack of interest from the big schools given his numbers? If Kentucky's getting into the bidding, seems like it would be tough to get him to BU.

The University of Kentucky hosted a trio of visitors on Sunday for their game against Tennessee, but only one was a senior. Steffphon Pettigrew, the state???‚¬?„?s leading candidate for Mr. Basketball took in the game and met with Coach Smith following the SEC showdown.

???‚¬?“The only thing [Coach Smith] told me was that he really wanted me there and he???‚¬?„?s going to try and get me up there.???‚¬??

The Wildcats especially have shown more interest recently and during his unofficial on Sunday, the Cats talked about getting him on campus for a second time.

???‚¬?“We talked about setting up an official visit so I can sit down and talk with them,???‚¬?? Pettigrew said. ???‚¬?“That???‚¬?„?s what their assistant coach said. They are going to call me back and give me a certain date so I have a time to go up there.???‚¬??

???‚¬?“I haven???‚¬?„?t seen the Lodge and everything that they have. Hopefully on my next visit I???‚¬?„?ll get to see that.???‚¬??

While he plans to take an official visit to Kentucky, he hasn???‚¬?„?t set an exact date. His only other visits were to Duquesne (official) and to Western Kentucky (unofficial).
