No matter what Reed decides, BBN will support his decision!
Reed will always be a Kentucky Favorite. He’s already secured that legacy.
Do what’s right for you and your family, Reed!
@GregH-bf2ml He's literally from Laurel County, KY--his dad literally played at Kentucky. He ain't a Cal guy.
@@zachsabbath1if is a one and done he's a cal suck ass
Look at the old guys who got off that bus. NBA money will dry up in a decade or so, maybe sooner, but if he becomes a UK legend by coming back, he'll write his ticket in Kentucky for the rest of his life. He'll be 75 one day and getting off another bus as a new coach is introduced.
What do you mean nba money will dry up
Actually stfu. “Nba money will dry up in a decade”. According to who?? The small percentage who spend frivolously which makes for juicy headlines. What about the other 80% who make sound financial choices
They all walked off with arthritis!
Lol screw the bus, go make nba money
Most if not all those guys that got off that bus were NBA players Tony Delk, Cameron Mills,, yeah the. 96 team
Players used to always play 4 years then go to the NBA..Now if they stay over 1 year people are scared to death they will get injured....
They recruited Kobe out of high school. One year, two years doesn't matter. if we don't have a big man playing center (can't get by on height alone) and plays that get our best shooter open for shots then none of it matters. The point guard shouldn't be the best shooter on the team and the best players should be starting.. if they foul, sit them for 5 minutes or so and bring in second string.
To say go to the nba because if he stays he might get hurt is wrong to say. Playing 1 year in college and playing in high school he had a chance of getting hurt but you know what he did he worked out and got stronger and better. Stay 1 or even until he is a senior would do more for his legacy as a Kentucky player and give him a few chances to go deep in the tournament and possibly win and what that would do for his legacy and his life going forward out ways the risk of getting hurt. If your scared to get hurt don’t even pick up a basketball. I believe in Reed and I believe in the shepherd family. We need him back at Kentucky next year. He would help this team and fans. College comes and goes to fast. Players should try to enjoy it while they still have a chance to. God could bless him with a championship and if you ask me that would make him a legend in Kentucky FOREVER. Come back to Kentucky Reed. This is me asking from my heart. God will protect you. I believe that in Jesus name Amen!
if he won't shoot then it doesn't matter if he stays or goes. He'll be under a lot of pressure from fans and that might lead to a poor performance and possibly lead to poor health. The NBA is a lot of work and pressure as well so that could lead to the same thing. Unless he and the fans have a bit more leniency on him then he'll be in a difficult position either way. But at least in the NBA or summer league program or out of country program etc he'll have more financial opportunities that he'll have and won't risk to lose that chance. When fans who want him to stay and at the same time are talking trash about him or who will talk trash if he decides to go one and done aren't making anything better. (Like they are already doing to big Z) Sure staying will be a great experience for him but in the end, it's his life.
"Stay 1 or even until he is a senior would do more for his legacy as a Kentucky player," yeah he should forego his career in the NBA to appease a fanbase who didn't even go to the damn school.
Kentucky fans are ignorantly selfish--it's disgusting.
We will all just have to watch and see what unfolds in the coming weeks. I’m excited!
With all due respect, Reed has put in blood, sweat, and tears to reach this position? And mind you, he wasn't even close to this last year or back in high school, so taking the risk of being injured was necessary to reach this this lofty goal, he earned this and its time for him see it to fruition Imean, come on! I'd love to see Reed stick around, but let's face it, it's not exactly a realistic expectation. He's got to think about his future, just like you and I do. Frankly, I've been let down one too many times in the past few weeks, so I'm not buying into Mark Pope's sales pitch at the press conference. And that whole thing about getting the crowd all hyped up with hints of Reed's return? It just made him seem desperate, if you ask me. I don't know about you, but if I had the choice between a guaranteed 3-4 million for a year or a whopping 15 million plus for four or five years, I'm not gonna turn that down.
@@authentic_tycoon To play at Kentucky is better than not playing much time in the nba. He may fail if he leaves this year. Let him cook at Kentucky for 4 years and then be a stronger version going into the draft. I see him going first round no matter what year he goes. He would have a better chance of having a successful career in the nba if he stays!
King Rex, he knows what the outcome will be, if that young man goes pro.
He needs to do whats best for him. If he wants to mature more and continue the experience college so be it. If he wants the fast cash and move on thats ok too. Bottomline is whats truly best for Reed and only REED can make that decision and follow his heart and head. UK fans will support it one way or the other.
Now, my eyes and opinion tells me he needs another year to get stronger, faster, smarter....lets face it...especially the last game he was lost out there. Thats maturity and he will only get better.
My sentiments match yours to a T. Exactly. Everything you said I agree with.
Put the emphasis on Mark Pope and a new team. After Calipari left I am staying positive on Kentucky basketball. Go Cats.
Omg RexChapman was the Kenny Sky Walker of the white guys lord knows I was a fan of both actually met Kenny Walker once
Love the man Rex became
Smart level headed answer
Oh, what a brilliant idea the Pope had! Selling us this amazing dream of Reed Shepperd turning down the draft just to play with the esteemed players of Pope's beloved BYU. It's truly off to a fantastic start, don't you think? I mean, I felt so honored and respected when that happened. Clearly, he must have possessed some extraordinary foresight to predict such an event. Otherwise, it seemed as though he was simply willing to say anything to win over the fans. How about he goes and recruits some players who will actually show up? He really dazzled us during the press conference by being so ready to "say" things rather than actually do anything to get people excited. Absolutely magnificent! 😢😢😢😢😢
If you're one wrong step from never playing again then you're probably also one step from never playing again anyway regardless if it's a wrong step or not.
Well, for those who are not gifted with the ability to decipher hidden meanings, let me break it down for you: Rex, being the honest soul that he is has just given us the truth. As much as Reeds heart may urge him to stay, let's face it, 3 or 4 million for 1 year does not hold a candle to the irresistible allure of a guaranteed multi-year, multi-million dollar contract that comes with being a lottery pick!
And let's not forget why they call it the lottery, folks. By becoming a lottery pick, Reed will be catapulted into a life of everlasting financial security, not only for himself but also for his family and future generations. Turning down an opportunity like that? Well, that's just not something you can do, my friends.😢😢😢
I would LOVE for him to come back but like Rex said one wrong step or play and he could be done. Also tsiebwe was a perfect example to not come back
I wonder have they considered an insurance policy for Reed if decides to comeback
PEOPLE ON HERE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT REED'S LACK OF DEFENSE, THEY DON'T PLAY DEE IN THE NBA
You don't watch NBA basketball--they don't waste energy on unnecessary plays. How many NBA games have you seen in-person? Zero? If so, you're 100% clueless.
Everything for Reed hinges who he plays for in the league. If they want defense from him he will struggle. He has great floor presence but he really struggled straight up man a lot many games.
When did the NBA start playing defense?
Reed seems to me like a young man that knows basketball will end one day and even if he has a few million he will probably want to do something else professionally. Just doesn’t seem like a guy that wants to make a few million and then just sit around for the rest of his life. Jeff played professionally too but now owns his own business!
He should go and get his money, I know his parents are legends in the state and school but say he does get injured or things don’t work out he needs to go and get his money because when the ball stops bouncing bills still need to be paid.
Just being honest from an old man point of view, but I didn’t realize the NBA even recruited American White Boys anymore? Unless you’re from the European Countries and your last name is something like Nowitzki or Bugliolovich . The McClung Kid who’s won the Slam Dunk Competition the past two years and is incredible player and shooter, is playing in the G league of the NBA , what’s that tell ya?
He is not ready for NBA yet! Plain and simple , or he’s stuck in G-League like McClung , although he’s bigger .
Take the money, son. Live on a tenth of it and put the rest in a balanced fund.
Reed isn't ready for NBA he struggles on defense and he physically just not there. If he goes to NBA it will be for the money. Would love to see Reed & Travis Perry starting back court!
Well starting a freshman and a sophomore in the back court probably won't result in any championships.
Who is ready for the NBA? They draft you on potential.
@@dave0051 1st of all probably not going to when a championship next year. It would be nice to see 2 white boys starting back court.
@@dave0051 that's not true they don't draft someone for potential do you think they sit around a table and say he has potential lets draft him. They say he is ready for NBA!
@@feez0118 they absolutely draft you on your potential.
there's no decision fellas he's going pro. What would you do?
Take the money & run!!
And Big Z is now leaving hell are we gonna have enough to even have a team next year 🤣🤣 I'm sure we will get a few walk ons to transfer and become starters. I'm sure Pope is a great person and had some luck at BYU but this isn't BYU I hope I'm wrong but I see alot more disappointment than we've had the last few seasons in the future and at some point most realizing this didn't work out like they hoped for.
Anyone who was suggesting Reed come back is downright selfish. Ask yourself what would you do even better what would you tell your child to do.
Like all UK fans, selfishly, I hope he stays. If he is my son, I am telling him to go pro even though it would break my heart doing so. This is a very weak draft but also we don't know what next years UK team will look like. That is a huge gamble worth millions of dollars. I am a diehard UK fan but I am not trading millions of dollars (unless I have many millions more) for a slight chance at a UK championship...and if you're honest, you wouldn't either.
Finish out at UK and you'll never want again. Too many donors will take care of you kid. Millions come and go when you're making it. Lots of bad decisions. Everyone acts like these kids will put the money back, send some to charity. In reality they'll almost all blow through it in no time.
Go to the NBA! Lottery pick! Kentucky will be okay
He needs to come back - he will never make it in NBA
He’s a top 10 pick, there’s a zero percent chance he comes back.
You think theres nothin that will make him stay?
@@kysportstv Who would want to come back to that dumpster fire? Everyone of your teammates are gone, every recruit is gone. If they were able to retain their recruits and had some players return, then I think it could’ve been a possibility. Ultimately, Reed has nothing else to prove and he’s not going to improve his draft stock. It doesn’t make any sense, logically.
@@mikejones9906 you u think Kentucky won’t rebuild they will eventually yeah shepherd is a key player but if he’s ready to go let him go make money I know NIL deal can’t be a lot
He’s worth 20 million. He might stay and still get paid NIL
There’s a chance he makes more in NIL money than he does in the NBA
Surprised Rex didn't suggest Reed should abandon school and go to china and play a year to get a dose of Rex's ideology.
hes insufferable
Ah, bless your heart. We've found us another Trump cultist.
@@user-wr9bh2yv5h Ah, bless your heart. We've found us another one with TDS.
He’s gone
serious question: is Woke Rex not working for Apple anymore? or has he identified as not a thief? i forget.
Who cares what that thief thinks?
He has to go.
