Reed Sheppard is prepared to handle the expectations that come with a Kentucky offer

Reed Sheppard and his family prefer to keep things quiet.

Outside of announcing the most recent offer to come through from various Power 5 programs — which now includes the Kentucky Wildcats — Sheppard is a mouse on Twitter. His parents, Jeff and Stacey, two legendary hoopers from Kentucky Basketball past, don’t have Twitter Fingers. The family operates in relative silence and that’s how they like it.

But the younger Sheppard now holds an offer from Kentucky after the coaching staff saw all they needed during last weekend’s Adidas 3SSB event down in Birmingham, Alabama. The spotlight is only going to grow brighter with two more years of high school left for the rising junior at North Laurel.
