I think it’s crazy to not want him to succeed because of this .
With that said it definitely wasn’t a smart decision and something I wouldn’t have expected him to do .
Reed noooo

With that said it definitely wasn’t a smart decision and something I wouldn’t have expected him to do .
Both of Cals legs could be cemented into the Rupp arena floor and Reed still would have left. His draft status went from undrafted to top 5 pick during his freshman year.
Anything I say is contingent upon your first point about it being real. If it is real, I'm done with Reed as far as his career of one year being a Wildcat. I understand having an allegiance to a coach, but playing for Cal for one year at UK should not excuse this if he bleeds blue. Therefore, in my opinion he does not. I am totally shocked by this. I know parents should support their kids, but if this is real my advice to Jeff and Stacy is to just not say anything or their legacy will be ruined as well.
If he’s doing this despite the optics it probably points to how much he loved Cal.
I agree . He is most likely close to Cal and the players that played here last year . I bet he hopes UK wins while those 3 players play well .
With that said I most definitely wouldn’t have advised this just because we know how fans can be lol.
What a lame and stupid move by Reed. Guess he was a Cal U guy all along.
Terrible look……..even worse idea, can’t see bbn letting this pass anytime soon. Always read or heard that Jeff wasn’t that fond of cal but this definitely makes think otherwise.
No Reed isnt Blue , He can F off far as I'm concerned ..... least it wasnt a Jack Gohlke jersey .
I don't understand these people. Cal didn't do Reed Sheppard any favors. Cal truly has some kind of magical powers that makes those he abuse love him. It is the craziest thing I have ever seen. After seeing this nonsense, I am even happier that we don't have a single player Cal coached.

If this is true, I suggest he change his shorts to Arkansas shorts, because he is not a born and raised Kentucky guy anymore. He just lost a huge chunk of the fan base that begged for him to play.
Con men are good at fooling morons and suckers. The world has plenty of them.
I still would have liked adou here. Pope wouldn’t have had him just standing in a corner and doing iso ball.
If supporting Cal was so important to Reed, how many times has he worn Arkansas gear this season? Why does he feel the need to do so today? In my opinion, this was not the game to do that to the fanbase that supported Reed so strongly. Give me WCS over Reed all day, every day.
There's a reason players didn't stick around under Cal. As you mature and get more knowledge, you start to see a used car salesman for what he is. No offense to used car salesman.
Damn folks of all the former players a Kentucky boy makes this decision. I'm legit tore up about this choice. I guess he thought his legendary status here meant he could do no wrong to the BBN. He chose poorly!
No way did he not know the kind of reaction posing for that photo would cause amongst UK fans. So, IMO he can just live with the fallout from it. And it ain't gonna be pretty.
I don't see why he was legendary? His dad yes. Him? I only remember him throwing the ball 4 rows up in the stands vs Oakland. Just because you are born here doesn't make you a legend.
Yup. He could visit the Arkansas team and wear their gear. He could wear an Arkansas t-shirt to one of their games to support his old coach and teammates. I don’t mind.
Wearing the opposing team’s shirt on GAME DAY is just…dumb. His head must have grown 10 sizes to Make him think he could get away with that. Guess his time in the g league didn’t humble him.
Is he trying to become Rex Chapman 2.0?
we loved Reed because he was Jeff's son, but he never had 1/10th the heart his father had.
I'll ask again. Do his parents still come to UK games, or were they just riding on the coattails of Reed? Their, both Reed and parent's, utter silence when it came to the possibility of Reed coming back to UK or even WANTING to come back, spoke volumes to me. Reed sold his soul to Calipari, he probably thinks he wouldn't be ultra rich if it wasn't for Cal because on some other team he may have been planted on the bench to "learn" behind others. Just a hop along the way for a Cal guy.
Same! On the other hand I will no longer follow his professional career or support him. He’s just persona non grata now. He no longer exists. Before, I actively wanted him to succeed. Now I don’t care.
He seems to be well on his way to becoming a dick. Shep knows exactly how most fans feel about Cal, so he deserves whatever crap he gets.
His coach also had one of the worst game plans for a tourney game I can ever remember. Let’s run the offense through an injured tre Mitchell, the dumbest damn game plan ever.
I mean kids came here because of Cal. So why on earth should anyone be surprised when one of those kids shows support.
He had UK shorts on. I’m sure he still wants UK to win the game.

He has openly said how much he loves CAL. Said he was like family and he has known him his whole life.
He can go call the hogs. Arkansas can have him. Piss on him.
No one on that team cared and it was obvious. Coaches and players alike.
Come on now. You know this isn’t the same. BOTH of his parents played for UK. He grew up in Kentucky. He isn’t DJ Wagner.
Besides reeves I agree. Reeves balled out that game, but reed and Rob were scared to death, and cal should have been sent to prison for that gameplan
Of course
I know people here can’t stand Cal but to Reed he’s probably thankful that Cal played a part in him getting drafted where he was at. I can’t fault him for supporting that.
Wow. We had his back. Reed should be barred from Rupp. Unbelievable.
He could have just not worn any colors at all. He chose to do that...
