saying if this recruit grows a couple of inches elicits an automatic (never fails!) eye roll from me. that said, if Stasys' growth plates are still open, he's almost a perfect sleeper agent

Looks like Yaxal is publicly recruiting Pettigrew to MI. Gross.

Pettigrew can talk to KJ, Will, and Keaton about how they were first round draft picks after freshman year at Illinois and what its like to play for Brad

Or he can to 23 year old Yaxel who can tell him about playing freshman year at Az Central JC, sophomore and junior year at UAB making the NIT 1 year and losing first round in NCAA, then he can talk about what it was like to play for Dusty May at Michigan who is no longer there.

My growth plates stayed open for a long time after adulthood. Lots of guys my age who were taller than me are now shorter than me. It's really a weird feeling actually.

Yea, I think the last line is really the only relevant one for Yaxel. In some ways it's a great story. But it's meaningless without the coach.

He obviously has a growing list of options and it's not a done deal, but I believe the most likely path for Brady Pettigrew is joining the Illini's 2027 signing class. Illinois is prepared to offer a very nice NIL package - which is unusual for them with high school recruits. With the potential to lose as many as 6 players to "graduation" and the NBA Draft, they will have a big pot of $ to work with. They see Pettigrew as a future foundational player. If he stays in the class of 2028 (I don't think he will) then his recruitment gets more complicated.

Pettigrew reminds me a lot of Romeo Langford when he went to IU. Just smooth body control as a 2 guard. I think he will def be 1 and done and I hope Illinois lands him even if it’s in the 2027 class. He’s good enough to start next year.

Having seen a lot of Romeo … That’s a pretty good comp …

Romeo had one major flaw that everyone wanted to overlook … Kid never truly loved the game …

It caught up with him …
