A Recruiting Coup for the Hoosiers
Indiana University’s basketball program announced a scholarship offer to Brady Pettigrew, a 6‑foot‑4 guard who has quickly risen to prominence in the Class of 2028. The No. 14 overall prospect and top‑ranked point guard in the nation, Pettigrew averaged 20 points per game last season at Bolingbrook High School and now posts 21.3 points per game on the Nike EYBL circuit with Bradley Beal Elite.
His performance has attracted attention from a host of high‑major programs, including Texas A&M, USC, Florida State, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Penn State, NC State, Arizona State, Arkansas, Brigham Young, California, DePaul, Georgetown, Seton Hall and Virginia Tech. The offer from IU marks a significant addition to the Hoosiers’ recruiting class.
Pettigrew’s unofficial visit to Bloomington in October gave him a firsthand look at the campus and the team’s environment, a factor that coaches hope will translate into a commitment.
Family Legacy Fuels the Prospect
The recruit comes from a family steeped in athletics. His mother, Bonnie Bremner‑Pettigrew, earned All‑American honors in volleyball at Penn State, while his father, Titcus Pettigrew, played both football and basketball for the Nittany Lions. Two brothers, Trey and JT, have also pursued collegiate basketball, with Trey at Eastern Michigan and JT at Valparaiso University.
Beyond the personal connections, the prospect’s decision could reinforce Indiana’s recruiting narrative and provide depth at the guard position as the program looks to build on recent successes.
