Remaining top hoops recruits

Story pointing out the key uncommitted recruits in the top 100.

Also found this blurb about a junior college player that Hewitt has keyed in on:

Aaron Pettway, 6-10, 230, BF, Hutchinson Junior College (Kan.) – Mobile, Alabama native never played a minute of high school ball and spent a few years in the military before landing at Hutch. Upside is the word of the day here. Mississippi State, Alabama, Georgia Tech, Georgia, Oklahoma State, Maryland and Florida State are just some of the schools involved. ``He’s very athletic, is quick off the floor, has a great body and is agile and versatile. He’s absolutely an NBA player.” – Division 1 assistant coach

I assume the interest would be for next year, but not sure - I will find out more.

Also, notice in the article linked above how the different leagues are stacking up in top 100 recruits:
