Lyon County Freshman Travis Perry scored 34 in this game, but even better he scored his 2000th career point!!!

 

 

Dang. Was just reading up on him. Will be fun to track him the next few seasons.

How old is this kid? Was he ever redshirted?

This is his 3rd year on the varsity roster. His dad is the head coach. He averaged 20 as a 7th grader. 2000 points is an enormous accomplishment for anyone, anywhere. Curious to see him against some bigger schools than they have played on their schedule. 

I saw him as a 6th grader - he looked 17 even then.

That's what I was thinking....looks like he's about 20.   Does he play football too?

Lyon County doesn’t have a football team. 

He is a good solid player. Has a good knowledge of the game but  has no size and quickness for D-1. Will make a good D2 or NAIA player.

I read an article that he already has offers on the table from Creighton and New Orleans.

Nothing wrong with free college.

Not saying he does, or doesn’t have 2 D1 offers. But there’s nothing on Verbal Commits for him. And there’s nothing for him under either of those schools where the recruits are listed by class. He’s only a freshman, there’s plenty of time.

This is me wildly speculating - so it isn’t worth much.  But I could easily see a lower level D1 school trying to get in early with a Kentucky kid who’s doing impressive things in the 8th and 9th grade as a 5’11 kid, thinking he might be 6’4 as a senior.  But this kid has all the hallmarks of an early developer who’s likely already done growing.  Eventually that D1 school sees the kid is still 5’11 as a junior, and the offer evaporated. None of that is far fetched in theory, but like I said, I have no knowledge of this particular situation.

He will probably go down as the all time leading scorer in Kentucky.  Lyon needs to upgrade their schedule to see what he can do against good competition. Would love to see what he could ge vs the Shepard kid! That would be a sell out. Need to get this one for the Hoop Feast next year.
