Felton making last minute push for Mr. Basketball in Kentucky


The recruits are over there.

Kentucky Mr. Basketball Steffphon Pettigrew may get an in-home visit from Dennis Felton on Sunday. If the visit goes well, the Dawgs might get a serious look from Pettigrew. He recently eliminated UK from his search. It's coming down to Xavier, Western Kentucky or maybe UGA for the blue grass native according to the Louisville Courier. (ht - Levin) Pettigrew led the state in scoring at 33.6 points a game and was second in rebounding at 13.3. The Dawgs need a stone cold scorer.

We're also a finalist for D.J. Kennedy of Pa. He's one of the Top 5-10 players in Pennslyvania according to various newspapers in the area. Rivals.com lists Kennedy as one of the Top 150 prospects in the nation. His other offers include St. John's, Marquette, Penn State, Xavier and some other mid-majors. (Ht - Daugman) Kennedy apparently visited Athens this week.

Both seniors are being considered for the 2007 Spring signing period that's in progress right now.

Update -- This article says that Pettigrew hasn't gotten more interest from the big schools because he's a low post playing 6'5" guy. Odd.
