It would be foolish for Reed Sheppard to turn down a lottery level contract. The lottery contract will set Reed up for life if he manages himself intelligently. His dad's friendship with Pope does not change anything. I know collegiate players have made this mistake before, but I doubt the Sheppards will. We need to let Reed go and be happy for the year we got to watch him.You’re right there but Sheppard and Pope were college roommates don’t underestimate that part of the equation too….
