I’m from western Kentucky and know few western fans. Know a lot of Murray and UK fans. An occasional uofl moron.
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.You’re crazy if you think most of Western Kentucky isn’t Uk fans.
A trio of Kentucky kids lead UK to the 2026 national title?
Junior, Reed Sheppard
Sophomore, Travis Perry
Freshman, Jasper Johnson
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.Yeah I guess but not every kid in this state grows up a UK fan in western Kentucky they are more western Ky fans. In glad he committed but he would of had more playing time at the other options
At least they'll be able to drink coffee and Coke.With a potential Reed Sheppard, Joey hart, and Travis Perry backcourt Kentucky is turning into BYU next year
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.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.
But no magic underwear.At least they'll be able to drink coffee and Coke.
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.Will gladly take him but I don’t get the decision on his end. He was gonna get a lot of mins early at wku Cincy or ole miss
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.Will gladly take him but I don’t get the decision on his end. He was gonna get a lot of mins early at wku Cincy or ole miss
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.At least they'll be able to drink coffee and Coke.
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.I’m from western Kentucky and know few western fans. Know a lot of Murray and UK fans. An occasional uofl moron.
Lol, WKU fans are mostly UK fans too.I knew there was a chance, but I really didn't think he would pick Kentucky. I guess things are changing, Lyon countians are mostly WKU fans, this is a pleasant surprise. He is a winner and people that haven't seen him play will be happy with his choice.

Shooters forget how to shoot once Cal gets his hands on them.Didn’t expect him to pick UK. But tickled he’s coming here. You can never have enough shooters.😉
Perry is the best shot maker that we’ve had in some time. An absolute elite sniper!
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 numberI’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.
How many shooters have came here and rode the benchYou 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.
Glad he is here, but these kids want playing time more than anythingBecause 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!
Exactly, maybe he has finally found out that basketball players are needed to winExcited - 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
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 . . .
Not sure Hart ever plays here ...With a potential Reed Sheppard, Joey hart, and Travis Perry backcourt Kentucky is turning into BYU next year
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.Yeah I guess but not every kid in this state grows up a UK fan in western Kentucky they are more western Ky fans. In glad he committed but he would of had more playing time at the other options
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 ?Will gladly take him but I don’t get the decision on his end. He was gonna get a lot of mins early at wku Cincy or ole miss
99% do and to argue anything else is just you trying to be different.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.
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.Will gladly take him but I don’t get the decision on his end. He was gonna get a lot of mins early at wku Cincy or ole miss
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?Not sure how any UK fan could not understand his decision, at least ones that grew up in Kentucky. If he wasn’t a 4 or 5 star I could see going to a smaller school but this is what every kid that’s grown up in that state wants.
About the fans or the playing time, Kentucky does dominate the fans in the state but in western Ky there are other optionsI 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.
99 percent like Kentucky? That’s not being different to think other fanbases exist in this state99% do and to argue anything else is just you trying to be different.
45% from 3, 88% free throws. and really like the assists and steals. That’s hustle.Excited - hopefully Cal is noticing we must start getting kids who can pass -shoot & dribble
