But surely when Reed picks UK those same bitching fans will praise Cal for getting him in 2021 right? LMFAO
Reed Sheppard committing Saturday
- Thread starter JFCats22
- Start date
Who? cal?
Do you always defend multi millionaires who don’t know you exist?
We’re on a UK message board discussing things. Rent free seems more accurate if I’m talking sht about the middle school quarterback who just took my job.
I hope no one is doing that. If there’s some examples please show it because I haven’t seen any.
I’d throw in some capital letters to let each other know you all mean business
Key word of that sentence” is given a fair shake” usually the first few years it seems the KY boys have to do more earning than the rest of the players!
So if Cal can’t seal the deal for a legacy kid like Sheppard we’re all just supposed to what? That would be a huge blow. Cal should answer for it.
The one thing that will definitely be nice about Cals retirement is the next coach won’t be anywhere near as good of a salesman and those of us who can handle it won’t have to deal with the ones who can’t.
True. I think Rick loved the idea of always bringing in a couple of the low ranked gym rat types and showing what he could do with them. His system in the 90's did excell at freeing up those types to where they could shine if they had any ability at all (mainly shooting). It was kind of the opposite of Cal sometimes with the less talented guys. If they get in they better hit the first shot or thats it for 3 games where Pitinos' mantra was "shoot it or get out". It make hero's out of guy like Farmer, Junior Braddy, Jeff Brassow and on and on. Those guys had no fear at all and it brought out what limited abilty they had 100% though.
It’s pretty obvious to me. People who hate the coach so much that they’re rooting for bad things to happen.
If I were Cal I would have offered Reed in the 6th grade. Don’t care if he would just end up a bench warmer. We owe it to Jeff and Stacey after everything they contributed to this program and the fans deserve to have connections like that. If not none of this is even worth it.
Okay. I was just wondering if there was a post somewhere that showed it, or at least made it pretty obvious.
Yep . Virginia was in touch with him last year too . I don’t think it makes much difference in this instance though. I do know his very first scholarship offer was High Point.
I mean, who knows how good he really is, right? Maybe he's not a guy that should have 30mpg right away. So I would hate to turn down the opportunity to get a top5 guard the following year, just because Reed is a Kentucky guy whose Dad played for us.
The pressure that will be put on Reed will be immense, that's for sure.
If he picks anyone but UK I will trash cal daily on here for the rest of his tenure. It HAS to be The Cats.
I’m having dinner with Jeff tomorrow night. I doubt he’ll let the cat (no pun intended) out of the bag but Ima gonna be looking for clues, lol . I guarantee someone will ask him .
It’s the same crap. It doesn’t matter what the program is, UK, Wisky Alabama etc
How about Terrence Jones? Committed to Washington and then switched to UK. Happens all the time.
That's aweird take. Did unc take Jordan's sons and offer in 6th grade? It should be on merit, same as any other recruits.
Why are you even getting worked up about something that isn’t even going to happen? Wtf are you arguing about
He’s literally making what if scenarios in a thread so that he has something to argue about. It’s really a wild thing to read.
Damnit, Reed should have known better than to give Rafters (5) full days to have to mull this over and stir up controversy 😂
Gonna be a LAW ..
Gonna be a LAW ..
Here is my thinking. If you aren't picking UK ... why announce now? A lot could change between now and enrolling. He picks UVA and Tony Bennett could be gone or the whole team change over. If that is what you want, you wait another year.
You pick Kentucky now, because it is your dream school and your parents played there. It is the only place you want to be. That is the no-brainer decision no matter who the coach is and who else is on the team.

Probably been answered but where is he making the announcement? The high school? Odd to pick Virginia if that's the case
What are you blabbering about? I wasn’t talking to you, I was replying to someone who was saying “if” we don’t get him. Try and keep up or don’t respond until you can.
Nobody is worked up except you.
Again some of you Cal First boys need to read better. I was answering someone that had already set up the question. Read the thread, it’s what if’s all over. I mean more than half of what we do here is projecting scenarios.
I get it’s all about defending Cal with some of you, but it’s making you literally unable to be coherent and sound ridiculous.
Go back to page 1. I’ve already said I think he’s done to UK and it’s a great position for Calipari. Y’all just don’t care about anything but defending the guy so you miss everything.
Morg you’ve really gone off the deep end. If you were Calipari the starting lineup would be Brandon Stockton’s stepson, Gimel Martinez’s nephew, Betsy Layne’s 6th man (he plays the game the right way), Marc Maggard’s hairdresser and Runnin’’ Richie.
I am UK first last and in between. I would have offered Reed in a wheelchair.
And that lineup would fight harder than last years team that’s for sure. The “UK way”.
By the end of this thread Jeff Sheppard is going to be coach in waiting and Stacy is going to want to fight the Calipari daughters on pay per view.
All kidding aside Morg I’m just trying to figure out what your argument is in this thread.
Well it began by me saying he’s headed to UK and it’s a great pickup for Calipari. I think he understands and made him a priority which means Cal hasn’t completely lost touch with what this is all about which means I’m happy that’s the case.
Then the CFFC began to turn this into a defense thread yet again and it went from there.
I mean, if you had a point to the thread what would it be?
Hope won’t save him if he goes out of state. If he loves Virginia more than the school his father played for the entire family should move.
Ah some good banter huh.
Well just hit the follow Grom button and enjoy yourself.
