Has nothing to do with him being white, black, brown, purple or green. In the times I have seen him play he didn’t jump out to being super athletic. Cal loves super athletic. He is not projected to be a OAD and all that goes with that.
As stubborn and as controlling as Cal is, he finally figured out with players like Reid Travis, Mintz, Fredrick and Grady that life is a lot easier and basketball possibly more fun with kids like Sheppard on the roster.
Why do you and other want to bring up a color of ones skin all the time ? God made us all and it is in the heart that counts.
Virginia sucks and Reed will be committing to UK on Saturday. Done deal.
Everything you say here is true but, hopefully Cal has modified his thinking on building teams . I mean , he brought in Grady and Fredricks . Neither of them are super athletic.
Well , Jeff said he’s got it narrowed down to FIVE ! LOL. He was really tight lipped about it last night. I was going to try and “finesse“ around the subject and see if he would drop any clues , but as soon as we meet up with him my buddy blurts out “ WELL, WHERES HE GOING?” lol. He did mention he’s working on another nil deal this time with Kroger.
I doubt anyone born before 1990 would ever boo Jeff Sheppard’s son at his high school game. Maybe some idiot kids who don’t remember his dad.
I don’t know man. People in this state get ridiculously angry over stuff.
Fun rant, I haven't actually heard anybody booing Cal.
It doesn’t forgive Wisconsin fans for that (absolutely ludicrous) but it’s two entirely different situations. Herro committed to Wisconsin then decommitted and flipped to Kentucky.
But that was a distinctly different situation. UW fans were pissed at Herro because he originally committed to Wisconsin and spent a year talking about how excited he was to be a badger …but then abruptly switched to UK during his senior year.
LOL Whatever. Bad UK fans have trashed Cal's family unmercifully after a few losses.
I don’t know what else to tell you man. I feel like whatever other shit you want to put on UK fans with Cal, there’s a 100% approval rating for Jeff Sheppard. And I think that will trickle down to Reed. I don’t see our fans disrespecting the Sheppard family by booing Reed. Hopefully he just comes to UK and I don’t have to prove it.
not denying this happened, I don't know, but Cal is pretty arrogant toward the UK fans
So he’s got a Lexington orthodontist and Kroger who happens to name our football field. I’d say that is a clue.
Again, if kid wants to even have a chance at going pro, UVA is not the way to go.
See I don’t think they’d even be inviting everybody to come down & be there during his announcement if he wasn’t going to Kentucky.
Nobody and I mean NOBODY was more arrogant than pitino. The job must just attract arrogant Italians
Call me old school, but I’ve always liked watching Bennett’s teams (I know that makes me the exception around here) and think he’s an outstanding coach.
Do you often describe yourself on internet message boards?
You must be a big Billy Gillespie fan. He offered 8th graders. He had offered several 8th graders and not one ended up being good enough to play division one basketball. Got it.
Yes he should have...Cal always likes to say he is borrowing Coach Rupp's chair...it's too bad he did not borrow his philosophies on recruiting. He would have already had a handshake with Reed when he was in 9th grade because he valued the fact of the father or some connection to Kentucky basketball. I heard Coach Hall say one time that they had Mike Casey committed when he was still in diapers because of Harry's connection to his Dad...and it Reed's case his father played at UK...Cal says he gets it when it comes to our program. He doesn't get everything.
true, but he came in at one of UK's lowest points and won with an exciting style
times were different, Coach Rupp valued basketball players. He wanted guys that understood the game
