John Calipari watches Reed Sheppard; will see Jalen Duren, who gets a Memphis prediction

With summer recruiting events in full swing, John Calipari and his staff are traveling around the country to see some of the nation’s top high school talent.

On Thursday, UK’s entire coaching staff was front and center to see arguably the best recruit in Kentucky regardless of class: Reed Sheppard.

Orlando Antigua, Chin Coleman and Jai Lucas also here with Calipari for Reed Sheppard’s game.

Seeing Calipari and the rest of his staff make it a point to watch Sheppard as soon as summer recruiting circuits start is a great sign for their interest in the Bluegrass star, who holds offers from Arizona State, Iowa, Texas A&M and Louisville among others.
