On this point I agree with you. Four year players that you recruit are basically a thing of the past, especially at a place like Kentucky. If we are gonna have a roster with veterans, almost all of them are going to come from other schools via the transfer portal. Sheppard sure doesn’t seem ready for the NBA to me—I haven’t understood his high ranking all year—but if the ‘smart’ guys say he is a lottery pick, he’d better go now. One word of caution though. If I’m not mistaken, our own Will Levis was basically a guaranteed high first rounder in the NFL draft a year ago. Didn’t quite work out that way, cost him millions. I’d have to be damn sure I was a lottery pick before I left, if I was Reed.
