Post a comment about it rather than just an article from a site we can go visit if we want to read articles. This is a message board not an online magazine.
Come on man. People do that all the time. I do it sometimes and ill continue to do it if I feel like it.
Speak for yourself...I have neither the time nor inclination to go web-surfing looking for UK related material. Appreciate the OP's efforts
Ive noticed this is something that really bothers you. If you want to talk about it we can exchange emails
My intention is only to share information and reports that I see on facebook, hoping others enjoy the updates on team and players. I try to post the original link, rather than the facebook link, hoping that makes it better and more accessible. I like and appreciate it when others do this, so I wanted to share, as well. GO CATS !!

Keep posting articles. Links are not some new fangled deal. As long as it's not some brand new poster with a link, I'm going to click on it. Why anyone wouldn't want to read the source material is beyond me.
From what I have seen it looks like Travis is doing all the right things and he looks to be bulking up a little bit. He isn't the fleetest of foot but he is efficient with his movements and he knows where to be. He also does a good job of defending off the ball and jumping passing lanes very similar to Reed. Travis is going to be a great player for us.
I saw him play three (3) times and my impressions were exactly the same as yours. He really knows how to play. My only reservations are his height and the ability to play straight-up, on-ball defense against college athletes. I think he can do it, but am not certain of it. He sure can do everything else. I am really pulling for him.

Frightening thinking he could easily be playing behind 5 star athletes not near as good as him for the next few years. Wish Sheppard could have enjoyed his time under Pope. Like the comment that he will play if he can guard. The best players will play regardless of stars, grade or where they are from.
Give me a lineup of Butler, Perry, Otega, Robinson, and Williams and I think Perry's defensive shortcomings would be easy to hide. That lineup would do damage.
Sheppard is taller and more athletic (jumping mostly). Regarding speed, and I could be wrong, I think Sheppard's footspeed is quicker with the ball on offense, but Perry's footspeed is quicker on defense and he seems to get into his man a little more ... but that was high-school, of course. Both are GREAT catch-and-shoot players, but my sense is that Perry can get his shot off a little quicker than Sheppard on spot-ups. Perry's catch-to-shot tempo is quicker, it seems to me. Both have quick hands.
Do I think Perry will have the kind of season and impact that Reed did, NO, but I think he is going to be a great player for the Cats !! Perry plays with the kind of all-out effort that will endear him to the crowd (same way for Lamont Butler) ... that I feel certain of. He plays very HARD and SMART ... after all, he is a coach's son.

I appreciated your link. Otherwise, I would have missed this article.
Thanks for the kind words and I like your tagline about tomorrow. So true ... and you especially realize it when you're my age.
Similarly, "tomorrow begins with today" is good to remember, I think, as appropriately noted by Monte Montgomery:
You are a weird dude. Absolutely no one else has a problem with this.
Don't forget we have a coach that will now play a zone to cover up any defensive deficiencies.
Exactly!!!
I think someone must have pissed in Know1's cheerios this morning.
“If he can guard well, Perry will likely play a significant role”
Um…if he can guard well, he’s the freaking terminator.
Why do people keep acting like “okay sure Perry you broke records neither Reed Shepard nor anyone else in seventy years could sniff but there, there, little guy——big boy basketball is not for you”

He clicked this thread somehow. He could always use that method.
I won't mention it again. I apologize.
You guys just have to understand, About 15 years ago a Link kidnapped know1's dog and threatened to make it watch UL cardinal games. Links have been his worst enemy ever since
Really enjoyed the article. Keep posting positive stories like this. ThanksMore positive buzz surrounding Travis Perry; may already be UK’s "best shooter"

Nice having two offensive guards in Kriisa and Perry and two defensive guards in Butler and Oweh.
Exactly. Not a damn thing wrong with posting a link to an article that has news about UK or a UK player.
Imo Perry will play a shooter/passer role off the bench. He's 6-1 180 so he can really only play PG maybe a little SG but most SEC SF/wings will be around 6-7 205 so he wouldn't match up well. We have 5th year SR Butler at PG, 5th year SR Krissa at PG/SG, Oweh JR at SG, Chandler FR at SG or SF, Noah FR at SG/SF and even Robinson 5th year SR and Brea 5th year SR at SG/SF. It's gonna be packed at SG. I think Perry will put up meager stats this year because we're so deep at SG but next year he avg double figures in scoring and leads us in assists. He reminds m of Kyle Guy and I hope he gets a natty before he leaves.
