Kentucky Wildcats basketball head coach John Calipari is red-hot and doesn't plan on cooling off anytime soon.
Calipari most recently offered a scholarship to the coveted in-state recruit Reed Sheppard of North Laurel. Ranked as the No. 53 player in the country, the combo guard would make an exceptional addition to Kentucky’s 2023 recruiting class.

Reed’s crystal ball predictions have been overflowing with Kentucky picks, which is an even brighter sign that Big Blue Nation could end up being Sheppard’s choice for college.
Kentucky had only offered three players in the Class of 2023.

John Calipari called Reed Sheppard and made him No. 4.
“Four was my number at Kentucky,” his mother Stacey says. “I looked at Reed and mouthed, ‘Number four!’ We were very excited.”https://t.co/pVeqwgdg9E
His parents, Jeff and Stacey, both are former University of Kentucky athletes and seem to be on board with Kentucky being the likely destination for Reed.
