It’s only bad if you want a dude who shot us out of the tournament and played poorly against the best completion more often than he played well back.
I’m happy to see this dude walk. Just wish he would’ve done so sooner.
Reeves update

I’m happy to see this dude walk. Just wish he would’ve done so sooner.
So you rather have 3 true freshman play, over a dude who was really good for Kentucky last year and had one really bad game when everybody on the team sucked that day outside Oscar and Cason for like 20 mins
He had many underwhelming performances against elite competition. And some against lousy competition. And played TERRIBLE defense all year. So…yes.
Teams aren't starting from scratch.
Pay attention. Duke. Ku, Florida Atlantic. Etc. Not starting from scratch.
He avg 14 points and had to do more then he should have. He would have been really good with next years bunch now they are gonna have to hope dillingham isn’t bad and Reed is ahead of schedule
Will you update what it is, even though it’s probably him just saying what we already know
The new toy is always going to be better until we see it also has problems of their own.
This is a clown post.
- Shot 40% from 3
- Averaged 14 PPG
- 22 points in first round (we lose without him)
- 37 points at Arkansas
- 21 points against Auburn
- 23 against A&M
- 18 at Tennessee
- 20 at Alabama (our only bright spot)
Like what reality do you live in?
This one princess.
MSU - 1/7
@GONZ - 4/13
UCLA - 2/13
@MIZZ - 3/6, just 8 points
KAN - 3/9
ARK - 4/12
@UGA - scored 20 but took 21 shots, 38%
VAN - 4/17
@Van - scored 22, but took 20 shots and was 3/9 from deep
KSU - 1/15
Every game - atrocious defense.
Reed isn’t going to be a solid contributor before he’s a junior. He’s the #72 ranked player in a very weak freshman class. We need to look to other options.

This is literally every college player “princess”. Cason Wallace had multiple games where he was bad. Guess we wouldn’t want him back either. Good luck finding someone to replace what he brought to this team
He definitely had some good games but it has to be acknowledged he didn't play well against a P5 team until January. He had a good string of games for about a month and then was pretty hit or miss from then on. The highs were high but the lows were low. The difference between him and other guys who have the occasional bad game is that Reeves doesn't impact the game in any other way if his shot isn't hitting. Can't create for others or get stops on defense - doesn't rebound much either.
Reeeves can have fun pooing down his leg in big games. Go shoot 1-15 at Illinois in the tourney.
Yeah Joey Hart will replace him well.Great take.
I wish we could have replaced Reeves when we had the chance. Maybe the biggest miscalculation by Cal this offseason - and there's been some healthy competition for that prize
Reed Shepard is ranked highly in several of the rankings. Only 247 has him that low, bringing his composite down to the 30-40s.
RSCI - 33
247 Composite - 41
ESPN - 23
Rivals - 28
ON3 - 36
247 - 74
That’s nice how you pulled that atrocious 247 ranking (#72), but Let’s look at the composite rankings my guy.
National Composite Ranking
Reed Sheppard: 41
Tyler Herro: 38
SGA: 33
Now, take into account he’s ranked 72 on one site (atrocious) If appropriately ranked he’d be right around the two above. I’m not expecting a lotterr SGA or Herro season, but they both came around and turned into real players in Dec/Jan of their freshman season. I expect Reed to be a player by then as well.
Yeah kids who have proven nothing are the answer.
The only option left is the Utah valley kid but it’s probably to late to get in on him
Everything before the Arkansas game can be thrown out. He was being used in an entirely different role then and coming off the bench being the “stand in the corner” guy. Mizzou he only played 17 minutes (pre injuries to the rest of the team). 50% shooting and 8 points in 17 minutes isn’t a bad performance.
Then you included a Georgia and Vandy game where he carried us and scored 20+ when nobody else showed up and 3/9 from deep is 33% which is the threshold for “good 3pt shooting as 33% = 50% from 2. Below 33% is when it’s less efficient than taking 2s.
Wallace was pretty atrocious for half the season but almost anyone in their right mind would take him back for another year
The student manager wants to play now. Was Lexington player of the year but did not want to play college ball despite scholarship offers.
program has been in disarray past few months.
staff surprised at the guys that left.
tried hard to keep oscar
KT saying ship has sailed on reeves
no relationship with main boosters
cal too isolated
being around UK basketball is no fun right now
Reeves is probably leaving, because he read all your negativity.
You should really work on your negativity.
And that’s the problem. Reeves should have decided sooner. And Cal should have had a plan with more players. It all turns back to Cal. He claimed he had a plan, but it’s an absolute dumpster fire of a plan. Which is lead to this program scrambling, and dudes like reeves who would have been easily replaceable early on, have to rely on guys like Joey Hart.
Started out by blasting message boards and how they think he knows nothing.
Said program is in complete disarray. Coaches were surprised that some players left.
Desperately tried to keep Oscar.
Cal has no plan due to those leaving they thought would stay.
Cal has no relationship with the two big boosters at UK
Cal is completely isolated from everyone
No relationship with Mitch.
No relationship with media
People connected with UK are telling Matt that they have no idea what is going on
Direct quote from someone connected: “Being around UK program is no fun right now”
Said he still likes Cal, but he needs to look in the mirror and fix this soon or UK will never recover under Cal.
I've got bad news: Cal isn't looking in the mirror. His contract guaranteed that.
Seems like the staff is always “surprised” at who leaves. Always caught with their pants down. Totally clueless.
Thank you, man it’s not looking good for Kentucky basketball right now
Cal is burning this bitch down and is laughing at us while he does it.
We aren't recovering. These rich boosters need to pay up and get rid of him. If they are gonna withhold NIL then pay the buyout.
MJ said he couldn't verify but scuttlebutt is Reeves is taking online classes at Illinois State so he has the necessary credits to be a graduate transfer. He isn't even taking classes at UK.
I think it happens after he fails again in the upcoming season.
Well, he shouldn’t be allowed to use the UK Bb facilities if he is transferring.
Reeves did enough last year that Cal telling him he was for sure coming off the bench behind an unproven freshman PG that has questionable judgment and shooting....is a joke.
As poor as we have been i haven’t really been on the Cal should be fired train but i cannot believe how Incompetent he has been this off season. There are no excuses for this season. This roster cluster**** is a result of his decision making.
