Pettways List Continues to Grow
Aaron Pettway, a developing 6-10, 230 pound center from Hutchinson C.C. in Hutchinson, Kan., has many high majors trying to recruit him this spring.
JUCO Junction caught up with Hutch Asst. Coach Eric Duft this past week, and he gave us the latest info on the fast-rising big man from Alabama.

Duft said that Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, South Carolina, Nebraska, Oregon and UNLV were among the schools that came in this spring to look at Pettway.
Others who have expressed interest include Georgia Tech, Alabama, Auburn, Georgetown, Western Kentucky, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia, Gonzaga and Ole Miss.
Even though Pettway put up modest numbers as a freshman last winter at Hutch, Duft expects man of the above colleges to offer Pettway between now and next season.
"He's raw, but he has so many things you can't teach," Duft said.
Pettway averaged 4.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game for the Blue Dragons in 2002-2003. He shot 42 percent from the floor.
JUCO Junction will continue to keep you posted on Pettway and other top JC prospects in the Class of 2004 as the summer evaluation period approaches. Stay tuned!
