Pettigrew commits to Valpo

MBB: Bolingbrook star averaged 17 points and 11 rebounds as a junior

Rob Brost has been coaching basketball long enough to know a thing or two about the game.

The Bolingbrook boys varsity head coach has made deep runs at state, coached for USA Basketball and even had a few NBA players come through his program.

So when Brost makes a comparison involving one of his players, his words carry some weight.

He’s made one when it comes to JT Pettigrew, a 6-foot-7 versatile big man who announced his verbal commitment to Valparaiso on Sunday evening.
