Has Coach Pope spoken with Trent Noah ?
- Thread starter fs-ripcord65
- Start date
I hope not, he was only officially released from his LOI by USC today according to an article I read. For Pope to have spoken to him before that would be a significant NCAA violation.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Mmnnhh???
Some people here may try to tell you he can’t now because it’s a dead period, and I can at least tell you that’s not true. Last dead period ended April 11 and there’s not another one until May 16.

What is the NCAA Dead Period? | When is the Dead Period?
During the NCAA dead period, a coach can’t communicate with athletes face-to-face. Find out how you can still advance your recruiting during the dead period.

Not sure, but if I were a betting man based on him getting out of his NLI I’d say someone has!
There's no doubt they will speak soon, and Noah will become our 10th player.
Then you add Lanier and a stretch 4 to get to 12 scholarships.
I do think it's either Lanier or Robinson. I don't think there's enough room for both without scaring away Brea or Oweh.

Pretty sure it's fine if the player or their camp initiate contact which is probably what happened.
Noah and Lanier will be cats. That will be the end of the roster. No other rotation player will be added. Impressed by the roster Pope was able to land, people have to realize he didn’t have much to work with and even less time.
Only if Noah or his family contacted Pope first. Pope can't initiate the contact. Well, he can now, or at least when the dead period is over. And I think Recruits can initiate contact in the dead period too, if I'm not mistaken.
He did a better job than Louisville's new coach is doing and Kelsey had a couple of weeks head start.
Ahh idk about that. I’d bet we add another body at the 4 or 5 spot as well.
I really think so. Not someone to play big mins, but a Ware/Vargas type body
I also believe it is Lanier or Robinson. Robinson might be leaning toward staying in the draft with the increasing recruiting of Lanier, or it could just be first to commit gets the spot.
Hang on a minute and i'll call and ask him....
Pope said a week or so again. that they had a board with 30 names on it that they were tracking. Noah is probably one of them.
I have no idea where this kid will end up. But I am willing to bet the player and/or his family have initiated their own discussion with at least one other destination before he bothered to seek a release from his LOI. Hard to imagine he just blindly sought his release with no possible plan in mind.
His plan is like ever kid from Eastern Kentucky now that Cal is gone. They have the chance to live their dream. Just a chance. Noah signed with a D1 school in the SEC. Im sure South Carolina does not give free rides to kids from Kentucky who they think cant play D1 ball. But he never had a chance at UK but now he does.
I agree with all of this. Except would add "or mystery SG/SF wing" to the Lanier or Robinson part.
I wonder if their any Kentucky fans in Harlan. Sarcasm
Noah didn't decommit from South Carolina to go to EKU. It has to be UK.
I bet Trent and his family are making plans to visit asap. He deserves that respect. Show him around and how he fits in.
Hoping he gives UK a try. We like those tough Mt kids. Had some great ones. Get back to it Mark!

That's okay; just don't give him any shooting tips.
I would bet a rep for Trent Noah reached out to CMP to ask if he would be interested in Trent. (which is not a violation) and put the feeler out before asking out of his NLI. I would assume that rep probably called, UK, UofL, Cincy, Tennessee before telling Trent he can request out of his NLI.
A coach cannot tamper with a student athlete and say "Trent, I really want you on my team" request out. It has to all come from the athlete side.

I admit, I don’t have a clue. But how good is Noah? Is he better than Joey Hart?? Just trying to get an idea what kind of player we’d be getting?
