Jodie Meeks/Reed Sheppard
- Thread starter FurdTerguson
- Start date
Reed was a lottery pick though and CMP wanted him to stay . I believe Meeks could have improved his draft pick and Cal didn’t want him to stay. I absolutely heard Cal say in an interview that someone that was around our program and “knows basketball “ told him that Jody Meeks couldn’t help that team . Of course I don’t believe anything that comes out of the bastards mouth so it’s probably a lie .
Yeah that makes sense. The LAST thing that ’10 team could have used was a 41% shooter from 3. 🙄
According to Jeff Sheppard Reed has made up his mind long before Cal left or the season ended that he was going pro, and he was the 3rd pick, so totally different circumstances than Meeks.
I'm not saying Reed should have stayed considering his draft status. I'm saying him not getting the chance to play for his dad's friend in this offense is going to be one of the greatest What Ifs in our history, rivaling Meeks and the 2010 team.
I always wonder what the 2006 team could have done if Azubuike's dad didn't go to prison
Meeks would've been the consistent 3-point shooter that the 2010 team was sorely missing. Add him to Wall, Cousins, etc. and that is a championship team.
As far as Reed goes, selfishly, I would have loved to see another year of him in Kentucky Blue. But I can't fault him for chasing his dreams.

I think he starts instead of Bledsoe, but I honestly don't think it matters. We would have avoided shooting ourselves out of the WVU game if Meeks was around to hit a few shots.
Remember that E8 vs WVU. BS he couldn’t have helped that team.
He would have kept thy team from being beatable. They couldn’t double cousins or Wall at all with him on the court.
Yep. Wall could take any one person off the dribble and Meeks could hit any open shot. So clear one side of the court and give Wall the ball. He drives and beats his man or Meeks’ guy helps, leaving him open. Rinse and repeat until you cut down the nets.
