Reed really ruffled a lot of feathers here in the State. He will never be embraced like his Dad is here in the State of Kentucky.
Seriously by the the time Reed is Jeff's age, most of his most ardent critics will be dead or too old to gaf anymore.
Reed's vocal critics are not coming out of his peer group.

Let’s be honest. He won zilch in his season here. And when it mattered most, he laid a turd against mighty Oakland. 3 points, 0 rebounds in 26 minutes. No defending this.
Oh, he had a bad game and there’s no defending that? Typical bandwagon fan. What a joke these message board frauds who provide nothing running their mouths about UK players. Just a bunch of front running frauds.

Well, you have to admit it wasn't a good move. The UK fan base embraced him as one of them, only to have him disrespect them by putting that Arky shirt on. Then to stay silent about it didn't help. If he wanted to support his old coach, he could have done it a thousand different ways than what he did. So I can't blame some fans for thinking the way they do and the difference between you and me is that I most certainly am no one to tell them how to be a fan.
You toxic unhinged bandwagon weirdos do not represent UK fans. You represent a subsection of toxic bandwagon fans who think you’re owed something. You people make UK fans look bad, you’re the reason others fans come running to Cats Illustrated after losses to watch the meltdown. You’re an embarrassment, Reed Sheppard is a great representative of the program.

In all seriousness I just don’t think Reed or any player from that team will experience the same level of devotion from the fanbase because that 4 year era just left such a bad taste in a lot of peoples mouths.

I’ll always remember read for the Arkansas jersey. Just how it is. His lone season here was underwhelming for fans.

If there’s a player on that team that I actually think a little more of it’s Rob. I thought Rob played harder than anyone out there sans Adou and Rob even seemed to call Cal out to some degree at the end.

We have all made a questionable decision in life . We just didn’t have a big fanbase to judge us . Unfortunate that some will never forgive Reed over “a shirt”
I think I’ll cheer Reed and lose the bash boys as UK fans if I have to make a choice.

He belongs there, for the rest of his life he will be welcomed with a smile? They will ask who you are, tell you they’ve never heard of a Through Blue, and ask you to leave.

He is one of 11 Kentucky basketball players to win Freshman of the year in the SEC. He was also 2nd Tram All SEC as a freshman. What are your accomplishments at UK?
It reads like to me that Kentucky did more for him than he did for Kentucky

It reads to me that it was mutually beneficial as it should be. Real fans get it, bandwagon fans will never. Getting upset in the tournament doesn’t make a UK player worthless to real fans, that only applies to the bandwagon frauds.

Just another Cal one and done mercenary. I could make an argument for the majority of them post 2019 that they did more harm than good.

There are plenty of One and dones that didnt wear an Arkansas shirt but the one from London decided to.

He won as much as Reed did. Piss on Reed.
Y’all keep saying this as if your relevant. Reed was on a top 10 team who was 2nd in the nation in scoring, hit several clutch shots, and will be remembered forever by real UKa fans. Piss on bandwagon losers who provide nothing but run their mouths as if they contributed something.
