2024 four-star point guard Travis Perry received an offer from Notre Dame on his visit yesterday. I spoke with him tonight about his visit, head coach Micah Shrewsberry, his approach to handling success and more.
Perry met associate head coach Kyle Getter while he was at Virginia, and said he'd known Shrewsberry through playing with Indiana Elite. Shrewsberry's son, 2023 shooting guard signee Braeden Shrewsberry, played with Indiana Elite alongside 2023 shooting guard signee Logan Imes last spring and summer.
"They've watched me play for a while and kind of got to know me for a little bit and just wanted me to visit up there," Perry told Inside ND Sports. "It was a good visit. I hadn't been on campus there before so it was good to get on campus and good to see everything. One of the main things they kind of touched on is the type of person I am over the player. Obviously, they say that I wouldn't be there if I wasn't a great player, but they want people to kind of fit their culture."
Perry attends Eddyville (Ky.) Lyon County, where he became Kentucky's career scoring leader as a junior by surpassing the 4,337-point mark previously held by Kelly Coleman (1953-56). Although he's achieved historical success, Perry said he understands the bigger picture.
"There's obviously a lot of attention stuff that comes with it, but for me, it's just about knowing that it can all be taken away in the blink of an eye," Perry said. "I'm no better than anybody else. There are a lot of people that have put me in a position to be able to accomplish that feat. It's not just me, there are my teammates that go into it a lot. I wouldn't have it without the coaches and all the situations I've been put in, it wouldn't be possible."
The 6-foot-2, 170-pound point guard is ranked the No. 87 overall player in the 2024 recruiting class and led Indiana Elite to a 17U championship in the Bill Hensley Memorial Run N Slam in Fort Wayne, Indiana, last weekend. He said Braeden and Imes are guys he can envision himself playing with in the future.
"They're guys that play the game the right way," Perry said "They're unselfish, they can both shoot it well, they can both impact the game and a lot of ways. They just win and that's something that you want to be surrounded with ... guys who win and play the game the right way and that's what they do."
Perry reports 17 offers including Notre Dame, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio State, Purdue and Virginia. He took official visits to Michigan and Purdue last September and said he plans on keeping in communication with the Irish moving forward.
