John Petty

[reddevilhusky]

Haven't seen much about us with this kid but apparently we made his top 5! He's a 2017 SG ranked 17 in the ESPN 100, and 25 in the 247 composite

This is quite shocking. I thought he was UK's top sg choice before they started pushing for Hami.

 

[mauconnfan]

Wow why not go after their other choice also like this.

And I'm guessing KO will continue to recruit Petty until he says "Don't come around here no more"

 

[80shusky]

Very strange actually. Verbal Commits doesn't list him as even holding an offer from us. 247 lists him as holding a UConn offer but that is only place I could find a reference to that.

Got coached under Ollie at team USA mini camp. We did kind of come out of nowhere but I read bama (visit in late August) and uk clearly lead.

Just watched an excellent 4 min interview with him on YouTube from USA minicamp where he was very thoughtful giving answers to questions and made a good impression, as well as a good YouTube mixtape. He shoots 3's from two steps behind the arc and in the interviews says shooting is his strength. Buddy Hield(?) was his favorite college player which cries - "shoot the rock". Family atmosphere, winning program were 2 of his criteria. I hadn't seen him before. If I knew how to link these clips here I would have but I'm in the wrong generation for such advanced tech capabilities.

Just copy the URL and paste it here. The board software does the rest.

Take this kid all day.

No surprises here - down to 2: Alabama and UK.

Mr. Basketball John Petty has Alabama in final 2, moves up commitment timeline

 

[Dogbreath2U]

Petty was reported to say he will decide in November. Pick UK, John.

 

[James]

Most likely bama here? Leaves uk really needing one of lonnie walker and diallo imo.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

UK

 

[Kemba'sYogurt]

Wonder if this is connected to UK going after that other 2 guard? Cal might be hearing Bama on petty and the good guys on Diallo.

Petty cancelled his visit to UK this weekend

 

[mauconnfan]

Love this kids game and he seems like a really good kid. I know it was a tough one to pull out of the SEC but out of all including Hami, I like his overall game the best. Happy with what KO and the staff is doing so by no means upset, just really like his video and skill set. Kind of a better shooting, ball handling Stanley. Skys the limit here.

That does not sound good. Crap.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Supposedly he is rescheduling the UK visit. Maybe he just wants to chill on Halloween weekend.

 

[superjohn]

That does not sound good. Crap.

I wouldn't worry about him picking UK, John Petty isn't going to make or break Kentucky's recruiting.

I want him to go to U.K. to increase the chance of Hamidou coming to UConn.

I know but it has no bearing.

Looks like it's gonna be Alabama. Rumor is him and sexton will commit to Bama. Petty is apparently doing his announcement during halftime of the first bball game of the season in his high school gym.

I can't see him not picking Bama if that's the case
