First of all I want to note that I think Rivals Pettiford data (3* 6-0/175) is outdated.
Both 247Sports and ESPN rate him as a solid 4*, 6-1/175.
But MaxPreps* has him at 6-1/190... and when you see his picture below you'll probably want to go to the 190 like I do.
Rivals still has its final Spring update due out in the near future, so we may see some updates then.
An analysis of Pettiford from a JayhawkSlant poster:
"Not afraid to attack the basket downhill, very fast first step and drive and looks strong. Not afraid to shoot the 3 and spot up jump shot looks really solid. He is the guy his high school team used to make the crucial or last second shot."
And Pettiford may have coattails bringing others to KANSAS, specifically TyTy Washington, Jr and Jonas Aidoo (links to their Rivals profiles).
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." - Mark Twain "Innocents Abroad"
