Sheppard, a former four-star prospect out of North Laurel High School in Kentucky and a lifelong Cats fan, committed to Kentucky with few people expecting him to make as large of an impact as he did.
Exploding onto the scene, Sheppard averaged 12.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.5 assists, working his way up from a expected four-year Cat to a one-and-done lottery pick.
Walter Cornett, of Glendale, Kentucky, is the owner and operator of Walter’s Wildcat World. He founded WildcatWorld.com in 1998 making it one of the oldest Kentucky basketball fan sites in operation today.
