Do you Kentucky residents know anything about him?
He looks to be a great shooter

Iowa offers Reed Shepherd out of Kentucky
- Thread starter hawkit3113
- Start date
I’ve watched him play 10-11 times since he was an 8th grader playing varsity. Great scorer, is starting to become a dominant offensive player.
Word on Iowa board is that Cal and his dad don't like each other. What's that about? That's unfortunate. Not because of the recruiting thing, but just when alums don't feel welcomish or whatever in the current program.
Sheppard played for Pitino at UK and against Cal in college. So he always felt more welcome at Louisville when Pitino was there than with Calipari at UK. I think that's a normal feeling to feel closer to a coach rather than a school.
He also isn't a big fan of the one and done system and prefers a more normal/balanced approach rather than a new roster every year. I don't think there is any deep hate or disdain between them.

That's why Cal will never offer him. 😬
Cal is no longer interested in great shooters. You're safe to proceed with his recruitment. 😁
All jokes aside, I’m not sure he is the caliber of player Cal normally goes after, although he has made exceptions (Willis off the top of my head) with instate kids who weren’t 5 stars.
Im not sure if Louisville is recruiting him or not, I hope we are but I’m not sure. Is he a 2022 kid?

Which means Iowa has a better chance at landing him.
I beat you to the punch, nerd.
He goes to school here in my town. Good kid, good family and great ability to score. He’ll be a nice pick up for any school wherever he goes. I couldn’t see UK making much progress with his family the way Cal is known to let his 5*s throw up bricks while home-state kids that can score ride the bench.
Thanks, for coming back at me. I appreciate it. I was feeling a little guilty for that joke.
FWIW, I still think Cal is a great coach and will get y'all turned around sooner or later.
He won't end up here and thats on Cal being Cal. He absolutely should be a Wildcat.
At some point Cal has to put Kentucky first.., right?
They provided him with a platform to end generational poverty. Can they get a return on their investment?

Both parents played for UK. Reed was her last name lol. They need to let UK babysit him for a couple of years
If the kid is good enough, he should get an offer. If not, he shouldn’t. Rest is kind of MAGA bs
Yea we have homeboarders who think we should offer every three star kid and above from the city of Louisville.
Granted some underrated ones got away in Kelan Martin, Powell from Auburn, and sutton initially,
I don’t have a problem with offering maybe one a year for continuity, if they have potential to actually contribute. Meanwhile Reed Sheppard is a sophomore in high school and this isn’t Billy Gillispie ball.
Somewhat agree, but some years we have spare scholarships or have given spots to kids who couldn't make the starting lineup for a local church league because their family friends/ donors family. So if there's room even if it's just a PWO I'd rather it go to somebody like that then other options.
Of course it's still early on, so a lot could change.

You sure? They’d be a lot harder to get into playing shape after being cooped up for so long.

Reading about him, you think he was the 2nd coming of Jeff Sheppard.

preferred walk on = pwo
prisoner of war = pow
Yeah, when UK offers, it's over for anyone else offering.
Reed Sheppard commits to Kentucky: Highlights and breakdown
The Bluegrass kid has the skill set and pedigree to become a star in Lexington.www.aseaofblue.com
Surprise surprise lol. That kid is going to be rich before he steps a foot onto Rupp arena.
He’s going to live out his best life the remainder of his high school years. Playing gyms as a semi-celebrity in the Bluegrass. Probably have his pick of tail. .
Kind of odd; My family and I went out to eat here in my town and we saw the Sheppards/Reids at the table next to us. Reed was there, and as we were leaving I looked at Jeff & Stacy, pointed to Reed (behind him) and did a fist pump for him signing with UK. They all laughed. I thought how weird it is to be eating with a kid that is a topic on a national college board?
Incredibly gracious family. Fandom is a weird thing.
