Steffphon Pettigrew was named Mr. Basketball for the State of Kentucky and apparently Billy Gillespie has taken notice. The Lexington Herald is reporting that Jeremy Cox (who was an assistant under Gillespie at A&M) has contacted Pettigrew on behalf of UK. This would make it appear that Gillespie has brought Cox with him to UK and that Gillespie is interested in Pettigrew.
The Herald is also reporting that Gillespie has recieved a commitment from G.J. Vilarino. Vilarino is a 6'1" point guard from McKinney, Texas. He averaged 20.5 points and 4.5 assists last season while in high school.
Internet reports suggest Gillispie hit the recruiting ground running. He's offered a scholarship to Shawn Williams, a 6-foot-6 sophomore swingman from Duncanville, Texas, and made contact with Willie Warren, a 6-2 junior shooting guard from Fort Worth, Texas. The Prep Stars recruiting service rated Warren at No. 33 nationally in the high school junior class and Williams at No. 21 in the sophomore class.
It is also being reported that Gillespie has contacted Jai Lucas and plans on contacting Patrick Patterson. It looks like Billy is doing a pretty good job so far.
