One of the storylines of the summer has been Reed Sheppard’s play on the Adidas circuit. The North Laurel star was listed as a standout at almost every Adidas event and earned a coveted scholarship offer from John Calipari and Kentucky on the first weekend of the evaluation period. Yesterday, 247 Sports’ Brandon Jenkins listed Sheppard as one of ten rising juniors primed for a rankings bump. Currently, the four-star combo guard is No. 65 in the outlet’s 2023 rankings.
There was so much hype swirling about Reed Sheppard playing his way into a Kentucky offer that I feel many forget he was playing up an age group and was one of the more productive players on the 3SSB circuit.
