Smart kid and/or smart parents.

I'm not positive, but I believe I read that both of Perry's parents were UK grads.

Heard tonight it’s UK. Don’t crucify me if I am wrong- but that’s what he is saying.

Nice call OP

 

[EliteBlue]

I’d just like to point out that this OP was absolutely shredded on here last season for sharing insight he had heard about Cal potentially leaving and the staff.

It’s clear the OP has a connection given that every “expert” missed on this but OP knew. And the almost immediate announcement after OP post shows it wasn’t a wild shot in the dark that ended up being true months later. It was genuine scoop

 

[Cayts69]

Good call, op. I was wrong to mock you.

 

[JwUKFan11]

LOL

As you may know, I was wrong

 

[Kybluedude]

Need to get Jasper Johnson and Gabe Weiss in the next two classes.
Keep it rollin'

Don’t forget Malachi Moreno

 

[yoshukai]

As you may know, I was wrong

Cudos for owning it !

 

[Burly]

He’s not coming here

You’re brilliant lol

Again, I think Perry made a smart decision; and I have to suspect his parents were a big part of that.

Strictly worrying about playing time is short-sighted juvenile thinking. Of course, you’d expect that from the high school kid (would’ve been true for me too, I guess). But parents need to try to help a kid understand the long-term pros & cons, right? College is about building a future, and it would be some pretty piss-poor parenting to be trying to live vicariously through a kid instead of doing what’s likely in his best long-term interests.

Here, given the life-long opportunities and advantages (and these days NIL opportunities too) that are available to a guy who plays basketball for UK – multiplied many times over for an in-state Mr. Basketball type (not to mention all-time leading high school scorer) – you’d have to give me some pretty strong non-basketball reasons for why it would not be in the kids best interest to play at UK. I'm sure the Sheppards understood that. Think for a minute about “King” Kelly Coleman (for those of you who know about him). And then think about Jack Givens, Ritchie Farmer and even Cameron Mills (a walk-on). There’s always exceptions, but It’s generally common sense in this type of situation.

That was a great call @UKortho and thank you for sharing with us.

You were willing to subject yourself to scrutiny and I appreciate the inside scoop.

Thank you. I really wanted to redeem myself after last year. Felt like I owed something to my fellow fans on here. Much appreciated

Because having five stars does NOT ensure they contribute anything. If you need it explained further, pay closer attention to all the teams that beat Kentucky with far less sexy rosters.

But I never said it did. No one was arguing for that point. Just a random comment.

 

[TeoJ]

He’s not coming here

Nice guess

 

[THE_HOOK]

He’s not coming here

This didn't age well. Lol

 

[bnewt]

One poster on here knew what he was talking about.Good job UKortho

And all the nay sayers owe him an apology.
This is why the insiders don't post anymore

Little vindication for UKortho on this one!

 

[wildcatdon]

Would love if he picks UK but hope he understands he’s not playing much next year. If he wants to come, do the work and actually stick with it that’s great.

How do you know that?

A lot said Shep would not play this year.

 

[mebeblue2]

And with that, my career making predictions is over lol

hey you made a good comeback
Monday you were 100% sure that it was not UK
today you were 100% sure it was UK

you have the credentials to be a sure fire hire the next job opening that comes up from one of the major recruiting sites

 

[Mike-D]

Good call, man.

That dude knows everything. Super woke too.

 

[Doc4UK!]

This is really great news. There are so many high scoring Kentucky high school players who have gone elsewhere ie Cox to Vandy and Lofton to UT and both killed it. I firmly believe he will have a great 4 year career at UK .

 

[wkucat88]

Could Perry and Shep be the next Jeff Lamp/Lee Raker type combo? ( A couple more UK misses for you youngsters.... )
