Reed Sheppard was the first Kentucky Wildcats commit of the class of 2023. And fair or not, had an enormous amount of hype surrounding him when he pledged to the Wildcats, following in both his father’s and mother’s footsteps.
This summer, Reed is backing that hype up. In Rock Hill, SC at the Adidas All-American camp, Sheppard made the case for him being one of the best players in the country.
“Sheppard picked his spots well and showed his potential as an on-ball defender, hounding opposing guards on the perimeter,” Sports Illustrated’s Jason Jordan said of the 6-foot-3 guard.
