I hope he drops 30 against Arkansas as a big FU to Cal.
Cal and Perry
- Thread starter LXWildcat
- Start date
Call BS if you want. It may be. This is just what I was told to me by a someone I trust close to the recruitment and Perry’s team. Spoke to them in March about the recruiting process. Said Cal got pressure to start giving Kentucky kids looks, especially if highly ranked. Offered Perry in 2022, but Perry didn’t think he’d get a chance and was going to Purdue. Seen the success Sheppard had in the summer Global Jam and knew he could play his way into minutes. He signed that fall. Said after the Maggard Holiday Classic back around New Years this year, there wasn’t a lot of communication. It could have been because UK was gearing up for the rest of conference play or maybe that’s when Cal realized he was gonna look for a way out. We know he thought about other jobs back in Feb and that he didn’t watch the state title game. Take it or leave it but the person I talked to would know and I believe them. If you don’t that’s fine. It lines up with the OP so I don’t doubt him.
I would 100% trust what this guy says on the matter ^
Well he also used to brag about Anthony Davis being 4th on the team in shot attempts so………..he’s a weird dude .
All you need to know about Perry is that he showed up for Coach Pope press conference.
His veins are Blue and if you cut him open... I bet it's still blue.

Even if not true, Cal is still a piece of shit.
Oh that will never happen. That can’t happen he isn’t good enough. No way that will ever happen. Cal will destroy UK ……
Those that know ….
Even when Kentucky boys light his ass up like Anthony Hickey did multiple times from Christian County that played at LSU.
I expect Perry will come in when they need a 3 point specialist who doesn't play much D
I didn’t know Reed was Reed until the season started. Not many of us did.
I’m not putting a limit on how good he can be in Pope’s system.
Perry and Shep in the backcourt in Pope offense would be awesome.
There is no one close to “Perry’s team”. Thats because the team is Travis and his parents. They aren’t big talkers. If Cal told Perry not to come then Perry would have signed with Alabama (not Purdue).
I think Perry love for Ky it did not matter who was coach he would still came to Ky, Cal promised these 5 stars they will start then players like Edwards or Wagner starts over better players on the bench like this last yr.
Perry is going to have a much better career at Kentucky with Pope than he ever would have with Cal.
Ok, nice. You joined to support Cal and bash fans.
Cal is still crap and I'm glad he's gone.
You joined yesterday. This sums up troll accounts perfectly. Only come here to bash UK fans.
I agree with this take. Do I think Perry will have an amazing UK career? I'm honestly not sure. However, I do tend to believe his ceiling with Pope will be far higher than it ever would have been with Cal.
This is another BS rumor. Shepperd committed to Kentucky in the fall of his Junior year.
I think Perry can eventually be as good for us as Sheppard was but they are VERY different type players. Except for being great shooters I don't see ANYTHING similar about their games.
I don't know if what Pilgrim said was true, but I do know that if Cal were still here and he didn't get much of a chance to play, he would definitely be gone after one year. This comes from a friend that's close to the family.
I cover and know the teams on the 3SSB circuit as well, if not better than anyone. I hear all kinds of noise on Perry.. small, played in a weaker conference, against weaker competition, blah, blah, blah.
I’m about as negative as one can be on high school basketball in Kentucky. 8th grade kids being reclassed so many times they having parking spaces for student drivers at the middle schools. Who ever heard of 20 year olds graduating as seniors!
I say this to say Perry averaged 20.6 points in seventh grade, 26.6 points in eighth grade, 27.3 points as a freshman, 27.5 points as a sophomore, 32.2 points as a junior, and 29 and some change as a senior against people that were older than him, with teams that had more talent than he did, and while being double and sometimes triple teamed each night.
He is a scorer, not a shooter. He can shoot the 3 ball well, but this kid can score the ball at every level. He won’t be just a shooter for us.. watch his AAU film plus his high school film and you’ll see how versatile he really is.

I'm not saying ur lying, but I can't find that anywhere. Can you send me the link
he’s 6 feet tall, that’s gonna be a problem at a high D-I level. I’m sure he can ball but being guarded by 6’4 guys who are just as quick, if not quicker, is gonna make it tough. Plus at that size he’ll be a defensive liability…at least initially. I don’t care whose system it is size, physicality, athleticism, defense matters. Nothing against the kid, but it’s gonna take time to acclimated.
Perry has a team? Thought we were done with teams and the like.
At least his team isn’t clutch I guess 🤷🏼♂️
Finally, someone who has actually seen him play. I, also, have seen him play against much higher rated players several times. Travis wasn't the high flying athlete, dunking awesomely, rather he played undercontrol, without much fanfare, but at
games end his numbers were unreal. Remember when Travis was a junior and Reed was a senior, Travis only scored 45 points, several steals, rebounds and assisted. Yes, Reed had a great game also 38 points, 10 assists or so, a double double.
It's unfair to compare Travis to Reed, IMO their totally different. Personally I think Travis is one of the most underrated passer, with unbelievable vision and like Reed gets his share of deflection and steals. Reed is more athletic, jumps better and is more of a WOW type player. Travis is the type player that every team needs and he's tough as a knot and will give everything he's got all the time.
I was talking about the Lyon County program. Not his posse. 😂 But yes, better than Clutch.
It was one of his youtube videos, but I don't remember which one. Said it as though it was an established fact, but who knows. Actually, I found it.
Starts at 6:00 and goes about 20 seconds. Said he was told straight up not to commit.
