2024 four-star guard Tahaad Pettiford has announced his commitment, and as expected, the Kentucky Wildcats were not the choice.
The 6-foot, 160-pound junior out of Jersey City (N.J.) Hudson Catholic will, however, join an SEC rival during the 2024-25 season, committing to play for Bruce Pearl and the Auburn Tigers.
“I chose Auburn because I feel like Coach Bruce Pearl is going to prepare me for the next level,” Pettiford told On3. “I loved the environment and the energy on campus from everyone. It made me feel like it was a second home.
