Reed Sheppard talks recruitment; UK gets predictions for Bluegrass star

There may not be a four-star recruit Kentucky fans have wanted to bring to Lexington more than North Laurel High School standout Reed Sheppard.

The son of former UK great Jeff Sheppard put together a stellar sophomore season at North Laurel High School, and he’s followed that up with a great summer campaign that has officially caught the full attention of the UK coaching staff.

This weekend, John Calipari, Chin Coleman, Jai Lucas and Orlando Antigua all traveled to Hoover, Alabama, to watch Shepard at the Adidas Grassroots Circuit during this past week.

Shepard did not disappoint as he scored 26 points while knocking down six threes in front of the UK coaching staff.
