Terrapin Station part 2 Re: Travis Perry

Travis Perry isn’t Reed Sheppard, and that’s fine. I think he’s going to be a good 4 year player here and by his junior and senior years he could be really good.

Even our most delusional loonies didn't think he would be half of Reed Shephard this year. Would welcome any quote to prove me wrong.
Most folks didn’t think Reed would be half as good as he was last year
I don’t know if he’s a Deadhead but I’m certain he’s dead in the head
Makes sense. It was more so because that account comes off as a troll as well. I wasn’t a GD fan so I didn’t know their song catalog.
You may be underestimating a few loons.
(Said with your best hilljack voice)
Ever championship team has kantuckee bois.
The call into local shows weekly.
Think; "is richie gon play taniite?"
If he made a 3 under Cal, he would have pushed him to declare.
An Appalachian accent (or any other regional accent) does not equate lack of intelligence, as though your comment implies.
Travis Perry comes in and does what Coach Pope wants out of hime that is to get the ball to the experienced players...he does that and don't make many mistakes he could be jacking shots up we all know he can make three point shots, he just does his job I feel completely comfortable with him out there and I believe our coach does too.
Perry has improved significantly vs earlier in the season. His handle isn't bad, and he's a guy who I think is finding his confidence from 3 pt range. He gives us some valuable spot minutes spelling Lamont...who we need fresh because he gives 100% every play.
He looks way better the last two games than he did to start the year. It will actually be interesting to see how minutes go when Kerr comes back.
I was thinking western kentucky accent where my loon relatives live. The accent doesn't make them or me loons.
The belief that their 2nd region brother should be playing more without any evidence it's so does. Same for the 13th region folks I'd imagine.
Not in any way equating intellect to dialect. WRONG!

I believe as long as Travis stays his entire career, he’ll ultimately be more valuable than Reed ever was.
And I loved Reed Shepherd
And I loved Reed Shepherd
I’m a perfect example. No accent but sub 75 IQ 😂
Last night I paid extra attention when Perry was in the game. He’s not going to wow you at any point in his career but his passes were crisp, had a nice offensive rebound off a loose ball, and even though they gave Hubbard the and 1 I thought he played two very well 1 on 1 possessions against Hubbard. When the 3 is falling it’s just the cherry on top. Want to say he’s made a 3 in the last 4 games at least.
There are 5400 reasons to expect that he will eventually be a reliable scorer in his career here.
I totally did and I own it. He did better than Reed in high school in the same league so I thought he would do at least as well as Reed at the next level. I soapboxed that mess. If that's loony that's cool.
Would have most likely never seen the floor. And if Cal decided to put him in and he went ahead and hit a big three like that - well Cal would have been pissed and sat him.
I hope the dude can play 10 solid minutes per game for us next year. But he’s clearly not a dude whose HS game will translate at this level. I stand by those words. We will have superior guards here for the duration of his UK career.
What exactly do you think qualifies as “translating”?
Yeah, obviously he’s never gonna score a gazillion points here like he did in high school. NOBODY thought he would.
But he’s already showing he can be an effective part of the rotation against high level ranked opponents as a freshman. He’s making good decisions, he’s now hitting shots when he gets a clean look, he’s not hurting us with bad blunders.
As long as he continues to gradually improve upon that, it’s translation enough for me.
