John Calipari expressing interest in Bluegrass star Travis Perry

John Calipari has already secured the commitment of the best in-state prospect for 2023, Reed Sheppard, but he already has eyes on another talented in-state prospect.

To those who follow Kentucky high school basketball, Travis Perry has already been among the biggest Bluegrass names to follow. Hailing from Lyon County, Perry started playing for the varsity high school team as a seventh-grader, averaging 20.6 points.

Since then, Perry’s scoring ability has only improved, sitting at a total of 3,189 points at the conclusion of his sophomore season. With his junior and senior seasons yet to come, Perry is on pace to break the state record of 4,337 points, held by “King” Kelly Coleman.
