Reed Sheppard reaches 5-star status; Dajuan Wagner Jr. still No. 1 overall

After a strong showing in the spring and summer AAU circuits, Reed Sheppard is now a 5-star recruit at Rivals.

The 6-foot-3, 175-pound Sheppard is now ranked 21st overall and fourth among shooting guards in the Class of 2023. There was also a Rivals FutureCast pick logged this week by recruiting analyst Russ Wood in favor of the Wildcats, who now hold both predictions at Rivals, as well as all eight picks at 247 Sports, which has him ranked 62nd overall.

New assistant coach Orlando Antigua was the primary coach in contact with Sheppard once recruiting restrictions with 2023 prospects were lifted in June.
