Here is a new Scout.com article posted today (8/18/06). It may be a premium article. It says Pettigrew has had a solid summer playing AAU, and has just been contacted by Kentucky coach Tubby Smith--
Here are a couple clips from the article--
Stephon Pettigrew had a solid summer and was suprised that he hadn't received much attention from college coaches. On Thursday his recruitment picked up, as he received a call from Kentucky.
"I just talked to Tubby (Smith) yesterday and he said that he's going to come down and talk to me," Pettigrew said. "He said he wants to try and get me to come down for a visit."
He said he would likely visit Kentucky in September, but he's not sure what weekend because he already has a visit set up to Bradley. Along with Kentucky and Bradley, Pettigrew is hearing from South Alabama, Eastern Kenucky, Morehead State and Murray State.
He is also a top wide receiver prospect.

#10 Steffphon Pettigrew
Elizabethtown
Wide Receiver
Despite joining the Elizabethtown football squad for the first time as a junior, the 6-foot-5, 215-pound Pettigrew appeared comfortable in pads pulling in 28 receptions for 363 yards and 7 touchdowns in only seven games. Also one of the state's top basketball prospects, Pettigrew may choose hoops over gridiron, but he has the potential to become an impact player should he choose football.
Here is his profile on Rivals.com. It doesn't mention Bradley, and refers to him as a shooting guard, though other sites refer to him as a small forward--

This report from last May refers to Pettigrew as a serious candidate for Mr. Basketball in Kentucky in 2007. He averaged 21 ppg and 11 rpg as a junior.
The front-runner for 2007 Kentucky Mr. Basketball was the only junior on the first team all state polls from the AP, the Lexington Herald Leader, and the Louisville Courier Journal. His Etown High basketball team made it to the Fifth region final, where they fell to rival, John Hardin. The Panthers had a great season, led by Pettigrew, with a 28 win, 4 loss season. After that success, several instate, and regional programs have shown interest in the star forward. He is currently receiving attention from Western Kentucky, Eastern Kentucky, Morehead, West Virginia, Bradley, and Xavier. At this time, Kentucky and Louisville haven't shown the same interest. "He's currently a mid major prospect, but he can play at a high major school," said Haire.
Pettigrew's hard work this summer could lead him to the high major offers.
Steffphon is also a star on the gridiron. He plays wide receiver for his high school. He runs the forty in 4.5 seconds. Combine that speed with his 6-foot-5 size, and you have a lethal combination. He's getting attention from UCLA and Duke on the gridiron.
