Hoosiers Pursue Five-Star Scoring Dynamo
Indiana University men’s basketball coach Darian DeVries has extended an offer to 2028 guard Brady Pettigrew, the No. 15 overall prospect in his class according to 247Sports. Hailing from Bolingbrook, Illinois, Pettigrew is a five-star standout on the AAU circuit with Brad Beal Elite. A 6-foot-3 guard, Pettigrew offers three‐level scoring—deadly from deep, explosive at the rim, and polished in the midrange. He’s an outstanding athlete with a high vertical and elite transition speed, able to finish through contact with either hand. His defensive toolkit—size, length, athleticism—predicts a high‐impact role on that end and promising rebound potential. While the Hoosiers’ roster situation in 2028–29 is still up in the air, Pettigrew’s shooting and scoring versatility could earn him immediate minutes, whether as a spark off the bench or a lead guard. If his playmaking matures, he could even steer the offense as a freshman phenom.
Indiana fans, rejoice—or perhaps grab some popcorn—because the Hoosiers have officially entered the Brady Pettigrew Sweepstakes. In a move that screams “we have two years to fill a roster hole,” Coach DeVries has thrown his hat into the ring for the next golden boy of Bolingbrook. Brace yourselves for TikTok highlight reels and endless “will he go pro straight out of high school?” hot takes. And if you thought Indiana’s recent portal drama was wild, just wait until they’re negotiating with a teenager who’s still mastering algebra. College basketball recruiting: because nothing says “stability” like chasing down a kid whose growth spurt might outpace Notre Dame Avenue.
