I’m from western Kentucky and know few western fans. Know a lot of Murray and UK fans. An occasional uofl moron.
Perry to Uk
- Thread starter CATFANINFLORIDA
- Start date
A good portion of western Ky like western KY or Murray state, not saying the majority of them don’t like UK because UK is the biggest team in the state, but the main point is that not every body looks at uk as a dream school.
I’ve lived in Western Ky all my life. You will find 1000’s on 1000’s of UK fans. And a handful of Western Fans.
Even less Louisville fans.
Probably more Murray St fans than Western. Still dwarfed by UK.
Maybe I am wrong but not sure how excited I am about this one.
Seems like this makes the backcourt crowded enough that might drive a better player elsewhere, and this kid has Dontae Allen written all over him (not just because they are both shooters, but just talent level and ability to contribute).
But maybe I am wrong.

At least they'll be able to drink coffee and Coke.
Don't think he's going to drive away an elite level player from UK. Those types know they can compete with anyone. Obviously not at Sheppard's level as an athlete, but elite level shooters don't grow on trees and given our recent track record at 3PT proficiency ....I'm thrilled to have him in the fold.
As a lifelong resident of West Kentucky, the majority are UK fans. Then some also follow Murray State or Western Ky or Louisville. But make no mistake the majority is UK.
Great to see getting a great Ky kid who really seems like a great Christian young man.
You guys are nuts. He’s a shooter and a scorer. He scores and can shot. Anyone who thinks shooters sit the bench are not watching games. Talk defense all you want but put the ball in the basket gets playing time.
Because he and his family are probably financially very shrewd. His NIL will be very good and if he stays here, his future is also secure. It’s the smart play.
Also welcome young man- looking forward to seeing you in blue and white!
Smoke also but I hope not. Had a buddy that was a Morman we were kids I got a coke out of the fridge. He asked me to let him have a drink he hide in our utility room took a shot of coke. He wiped his mouth and let out a sound like he hit a shot of grain alcohol. I didn’t know it was like forbidden fruit to him. Cracked me up later when I found out more things.

Excited - hopefully Cal is noticing we must start getting kids who can pass -shoot & dribble
Travis can be a Kyle Guy type for us
Knock down opener jumpers and shoot 90% from line

THIS ^^^^ I live in Western Ky and 95 % or more are UK fans with some Murray fans. LIke you I only know one UL fan. Glad to have Perry coming too UK. Not really surprised by him picking UK.
Lol, WKU fans are mostly UK fans too.
I’ve had family my whole life as well ,and there are fans of other teams in that area I don’t get why some are acting like there isn’t , but for sure Kentucky has more in number
Exactly, maybe he has finally found out that basketball players are needed to win
Might get crowded next season. Sheppard likely back with Fland. Peterson is almost certainly gonna reclass and UK is in a good spot with him. Also wouldn't count out a Jasper Johnson reclass.
Loved Fredrick dude tore his hamstring up. He dislocated his finger and broke his ribs in the UF game. He just couldn’t stay healthy here. Hope he holds up at UC. Good luck to CJ.Thats what Fredrick was hyped up to be . . .
I totally disagree with you, most in this part of the country, Western KY, follow Murray State and WKU, go to their game etc but their KY fans first. I know numerous people that regularly go to games at UK as well as the other two. I went to Murray State but have been a UK fans for years.
Proud to have you Travis. You’ve earned the opportunity to play here and now is the time to really work on the hard things that can take your game to another level. Can’t wait to follow your career here and watch you continue to prove a lot of people wrong since you’ve touched a basketball. Keep working and get that defensive game up a few notch’s. Also, go destroy the nets this year bud. Go Cats.
Do ya think Travis Perry just might appreciate and value the tradition of U.K. basketball far more than at least one individual already associated with the program ?
It's nice to see talented kids from Kentucky not getting away and suit up for the Cats. So glad Cal got Perry!
99% do and to argue anything else is just you trying to be different.
Kid is a dead eye knock shooter. Sometimes you have to gjve up a little defense to get points. On the other hand Shep is one of the better defenders I have seen for a freshman in a while
How do you know he won’t get that at UK? He is a basketball player. He can shoot and has a high basketball iq. He will fit nicely with whatever 5 star guys Cal brings in. He is not some slow plodding white guy.
You were the guy who said he wasn't going to come here, and now you're acting like we should have seen this coming all along?
Hilarious.
About the fans or the playing time, Kentucky does dominate the fans in the state but in western Ky there are other options
99 percent like Kentucky? That’s not being different to think other fanbases exist in this state
Swing and a miss on my part. From everything I heard over the summer he had developed a strong relationship with Beard at Ole Miss and would likely commit there.
Glad I wasn't right and Travis is going to be a Wildcat. Always good to have in-state kids who personally know the program tradition and are talented on a national recruiting level.

45% from 3, 88% free throws. and really like the assists and steals. That’s hustle.
On the season, Perry averaged 32.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 4.7 steals per game while shooting 53 percent from the field, 45.4 percent from 3-point range and 88.1 percent from the free throw line.
