He very well could, but going off CALs history, shooters don’t get as long a leash as the 5 star McDonald’s all Americans do
Perry to Uk
- Thread starter CATFANINFLORIDA
- Start date
Cal and staff got him here which is good, and he very well could like the tradition here, but most kids now don’t care about any of that at all. It’s nil and playing time
Agree. That’s where Perry is different. He has wanted to play here since he was knee high to a grasshopper.
Because, for some kids, especially kids from here, that name across the chest truly means something.
That commitment ceremony was awesome. Great young man, and his Dad tearing up in the background…
Proud to have this awesome young man and great family at Kentucky. Hope he gets a chance to play and contribute and live his dream.

Not every player but most do. You can still dream of playing at UK and never go there. And most fans in that area are UK fans whether you realize it or not. I know you haven’t been on the board all that long but you need to let this one go.
I live in the heart of Western Kentucky, and this couldn't be further from correct. I don't know a single WKU fan who isn't a UK or UofL fan first and foremost.
So glad we got him. Kudos to cal on this one and I don’t say that often.
His games next year are going to be SRO. I'm already planning a trip to Lexington for the Sweet 16 next year. I hope Lyon County makes it one more time.
Hmmm the Unforgettables could be returning? Thats two cornerstones.
Thanks for staying home and staying loyal to Big Blue. Youll always be looked after!

Yea, agreed. I don't understand why the common fan could see this but the 9M dollar, HOF coach couldn't sooner?
Maybe, I’m glad Kentucky got him and hope he kills it here
I need to let what go? I know most fans are UK fans, but the point is that not every kid dreams of Kentucky. Glad Kentucky got him either way
I have family out there to and I know fans of other teams, I know Kentucky is the main one, but there are western fans and Murray state fans in western Kentucky and it’s more than some are wanting to acknowledge. Yes Kentucky is the majority for sure. People are focusing on the wrong point of what I said. The main point is the motivations for recut is being different now
Yeah I’m gonna admit I’m wrong I just texted my uncle from western Kentucky and asked him what he thinks the fan distribution is and he said I was a dumbass, so I’m wrong everybody else it correct I will own this one.
There are lots of different fans. Tennessee fans. Indiana fans. He could've picked those. If he didn't have a UK offer.
But never would I say I can't believe a player within the boundary of this state chose Kentucky over paying time.
Now, need to admit you were wrong and let it go.
There aren’t a lot of WKU fans out in the Jackson Purchase or even in the Pennyrile They mostly seem to be in BG and the surrounding counties.
Great pick up. Not only a Kentucky kid, but a very good one and we get to have the all time leading scorer in Kentucky HS history staying in state with UK instead of losing them to UT or some other SEC school like we did with such players as Lofton. Looking so forward to having him and Reed together.
Huh? I grew up in western Kentucky and while there is support for WKU next to nobody sees any rivalry between UK and WKU. Even on Western’s campus you’re just as likely to see kids wearing UK gear as WKU gear. Get as far west as Lyon county there is more support for Murray than Western but again most don’t see it as an either/or issue. They are fans of both.
Dam I love the sound of that !!
Again everybody is taking the context wrong, yes Kentucky is the majority for sure, but all I was saying was that there are other fanbases out there in western Kentucky and not every recruit on this state dreams of playing for UK.
I think he will. He’s only getting minutes with the walk-ons. That could change tho I guess
Absolute great to offer kids like this and get the commitment. Glad Perry is a Cat. Reminds me of two other smaller guard shooters from the state we didn’t offer but would have made a big difference for UK. Chris Lofton and Phil Cox.
Just came in and heard this. Sounds fantastic. The kid is an amazing shooter and scorer. Perfect form. Quick release. Clips on Youtube are crap at showing foot speed, floor vision, and reaction time. The only plays that makes the edit are made shots. But he can shoot and score.
Jim McDaniels from Allen County Scottsville and WKU is up there as well. An all time great player.
Kudos to you, it takes a big man to admit he was wrong. About 46% of the USA is unwilling to do that these days.
Yes, he took Western Kentucky to the Final Four, correct? I was about 4 years old, living in Paducah when that happened. Barely remember it.
Mcdaniels was great,that was a great WKU team. Lost to Villanova in tourney if I recall. That Porter kid was radioactive that night
Love this quote from his dad-
At the end of the day, he decided putting that Kentucky jersey on every morning was the most important thing to him, and that made the decision for him.”
Based on what I have seen to date I think Sheppard may end up being another Herro and we may only have him this year. I hope we keep him a couple of years but he has alot of game.
Yep. He visited and was extended an offer recently.
Assuming he is younger brother of Michael Moreno?
Also, Gabe Weis is class of '26...another state target.
Allen had a work ethic and attitude issue that is well documented. Even if talent level is similar, what is going on between the ears likely isn't.
