If you are over the age of 6 and call people names or insult their character based on a thread on a message board then you aren't as mature as you would like to think you are and are probably more petulant than you think you are.

He is no dirtbag , he comes from a great UK family , and he supported our opponent in the biggest game of the year . Several things can be true at once , I rooted my ass for him . He failed horribly in big games . He cashed in , made the right call , sucked against the door dash guy , got his ass handed to him by older players , looked good in blue , hit a game winner … see how this works ??? He “ got paid bro “ now go root on your boy Johny C in the NIT and be happy . Pig souee and all .
The thing I’ll miss most about Reed was his amazing performance in those Donatos ads with Dillingham
That wrinkled white tee shirt should hang in the NIL hall of fame.
I absolutely LOVED watching Reed at UK. And understood when he left.
And was very disappointed when he chose Cal over his Alma Mater.
Kids do stupid sh*t.

I think they're referring to one of Cal's one and one players that didn't care anything about Kentucky and just used them to cash in with an NBA team.
I wish him all the success but will never consider him one of us. He is a Cal guy, not a UK guy. He made that clear
I find it extremely odd that of all the players, Reed not only chose Cal over Kentucky, but chose to do it the way he did. How does Reed Sheppard grow up with parents he had, play for their school, fulfill a dream to play at Kentucky himself, and then openly support an opposing coach and team on game day? 'Young kid decision' or not, it's pretty wild that he chose his side in the manner he did. Definitely a Cal type move.
I think we can all agree that the shirt takes precedence. I could maybe even be ok with it if it were reversed. The guy rocked an Arkansas shirt the day we played them. There's not much more to say after that.
Reed who…. The guy that sported an Arkansas shirt on the day of UK’s game vs. Arkansas….. Yea he’s not UK blue… He’s one of those so called mercenaries!
My favorite Arkansas Reeds...

Calling people childish while you act childish....
The Rockets needed 3-pt shooting going into the draft. Reed was considered the best shooter in the draft. Castle's 3PT% at UConn was 26.7% and it has been 28.4% with SAS this season.
And then showed after the season was over that he was always Cal-first, not UK-first.
A former player openly supported our opponent that day, for a huge game, and he thinks it's weird that we didn't like it. Weird. Definitely a Cal first fan.Calling people childish while you act childish....
So Drew Franklin said when all the stuff with him wearing the Arkansas gear came out that Stacy had been spotted wearing Arkansas gear early in the season. Was anyone able to confirm this? If so then it probably wasn't just a "kid" (if you want to call a 20 year old a kid) making a dumb decision.
And that’s fine that so many of you feel that way. I didn’t have any more emotion about the Ark game than any other SEC game (I am incredibly thankful Cal left on his own and didn’t stick us with a miserable season with him as coach or a big buyout bill), so Reed supporting both his coach and his old team didn’t bother me. Certainly not like some on here who wished him ill.
If Jeff could have made 45 million after one season here he would have went to the NBA too. I'm not sure why people don't get that. Of course Reeds legacy at UK was a poor ending n March.
We have had a ton of 4 year players fail for 4 years but get the Rockstar treatment on here. 0 final fours and 0 national titles but Rafters loves a loser, as long as they stay to lose 4 seasons.

Pretty fair post. We are all (most) UK fans and have our favorite players, team, moments in UK history etc. along with our differing opinions, which we are entitled to. I certainly don't wish him ill will just like I don't randomly wish ill will on any other NBA player. I also understand (because I am one ) those who are disappointed in him for that decision and are indifferent towards him now. The post about Oscar yesterday meant more to me than reading Reed had 25 last night.
Young and old make poor choices at times. If he sees the disconnect that his choice created and he wishes to amend that, then maybe in the future he can. I don't know the answer to that. IMO though, it's bad to be critical of those that just do not feel a connection to him any longer just like it's bad to wish him ill will.
The only ones that I can think of that fit your criteria are Bogans, Prince, and the unforgettables. Maybe some other Tubby era role player types, but I don't think people are calling Gerald Fitch a rockstar.
Can you imagine how miserable it would be to be a bubble team right now? He would be a dead man walking with $27M hanging over our heads.
You can probably count the number of people truly upset about him getting the money on one hand. Most everyone understands that and would've done the same. No, this is about the game day shirt and him publicly and proudly choosing a side. Like he dumped UK and BBN or something. Like saying "I'm a former Calipari player" and not "Go Cats!".
Forget about us adults. What about the kids who idolized him in the Bluegrass?
