If Trent Noah decides to leave, would we be interested in Jake Feldhaus ?
- Thread starter UncleAdolph
- Start date
Add a direction to the state name on the jersey - Eastern, Northern, or maybe Western Kentucky- and you are being more realistic. Replacing Trent Noah with a poor man's Trent Noah, especially the son of a program legend as one of the Unforgettables, is probably just asking for headaches.
Heck yes - should be interested anyway.
Kentucky players are as good as any in the USA.
REED SHEPARD

REED SHEPARD
Going from the 105th ranked kid to the 185th ranked kid. If it's me and I know it's do or die for me I'm not taking EITHER one
I think Feldhaus would benefit from going to a mid-major and play his way into a Power 5 school role.
If Trent Noah leaves, god bless. Why then would we take in Mr. Feldhaus? This is some next level gibberish
No. Sorry, I love DF, but he isn’t going to be able to play here. Well, he could, but he’d get eaten alive. So, no. No disrespect to DF by the way.
Reed Sheppard was a white kid from Kentucky.
Reed Sheppard got drafted 3rd.
White kid from Kentucky will get drafted 3rd.
I can't tell if some people on this board are playing around / having fun, or if this is actually the way their brain processes logic.
Reed was an anomaly
Not many like him
Moreno and Jasper are ky kids and they aren't game changers
No he needs to be in the starting lineup with Noah so if we lose at least they played for the name on the front. The tradition.
I’m a firm believer that guys like him and Noah are better served to do like Reeds cousin at North Laurel and go to a small place, learn to play college basketball and develop their game .
We just can’t afford to play them enough for them to develop here .
If they become good enough, then maybe there can be a role at Kentucky.
Watched both of them play quite a bit. Noah is the better shooter even though he had a sophomore super slump. Noah would light up the arena in the 13th region for an easy 30 while a freshman. It’s hard to be a KY boy and know you have like a chance or two to make a shot per game and if you don’t, you’re getting the hook. Jake is the better all around player and more athletic.
I sense sarcasm here but there are three issues. 1)- Noah slid off the radar this year in potential and he made some pretty stupid comments whether he was joking or not. He’d be best to transfer. 2)- The Feldhaus family are tremendous athletes but this kid just doesn’t seem to have D-1 talent. Now golf, on the other hand seems to be his strongest game. I wish him all the best wherever he goes. 3)- I hate to even hear the Sheppard name. Jeff’s jumped off the UK train and Reed relates more to CCC and Arkansas than to UK so he should be left out of the whole conversation.
If we didnt have Moreno and had to play BG 35 minutes, we dont even win 15 games so in a way Moreno was a game changer. just not a massive game changer.
Perfectly ridiculous to not want Deron Feldhaus's son here.
Now whether he's a gametime player or a practice player, that's another story. And we should be very up front with him about his chances of getting anything but mop up minutes, of course, assuming we recruit a roster this year that warrants that.
But to deny Deron Feldhaus's son the opportunity to wear that jersey even if he has to be content with mop-up minutes to do it?
Man, that's some kind of deep spiritual crime. May God have mercy on your souls.

There aren't any these days. It's about NIL $, exposure, getting drafted, facilities, and the Coach.
This program has had enough nostalgia worship the last couple years. Every cent of NIL should go towards bringing in CHAMPIONSHIP level players.
