I know this is early but, Kentucky offers 4-star freshman guard Reed Sheppard a scholarship. Sheppard is the son of former Kentucky player Jeff Sheppard. Yes, he has his dad's jumping ability.

Here is an article about Reed Sheppart in Sports Illustrated. I read this article in the magazine in my doctors office. It's a really good article.

Published March 4, 2021.
"Only 5 schools have offered scholarships to date: Iowa, Stetson, South Alabama, Iona, and High Point."
I really hope he doesn't pick Kentucky. Reed would be competing with NBA level talent for court time. One and done NBA guys. Reed is apparently very good, but is he NBA level good? He will end like the very good recent caucasian players at Duke- wasting their years on the bench, when they could have been developing their skills by starting( or at least getting a lot of playing time) at other programs.
Why not go to a program where Reed can be one of the top guys starting and scoring? Like how many of these European guys were the top guys on their European teams in their youth.
The article also mentions Kentucky and its history with in state recruiting, which seems to be a code word for the top caucasian local high school players.
