Noah committed
- Thread starter In2theWild4ever
- Start date
He might become something in a couple of years.
Many people said the same thing about Reed and we see how that turned out.
Reed was a mickey D boy though.
Never said he wasn't. The point was he exceeded many expectations. You never know what will happen until they hit the court. I can tell you though that Noah is bigger than Reed and he is a better shooter.
Which is great! We need players we can develop and have multi year careers at UK so we're not doing roster overhauls year after year.
Welcome to UK basketball Trent Noah.
That's 10, we got 3 scholarships left. It may be 2 weeks before we get another boom.

Ever get sick of logging in and out of this and your track and booker accounts? What a joke.
Noah was expected to be a contributor on a team that beat us last year. Should tell you something.
What a pathetic existence. "look that guy is smiling, I'm gonna wipe that smile of his face!"
smh
smh
He might be very good this year in Pope's system. He's a strong kid that can score
Noah is as tough as the people of Harlan. Plus has anyone looked at his shooting stroke? Perfect form plus he has the mind set of a scorer.
As a fellow Harlan countian, this is pretty cool! First basketball Cat from here since Wah Wah Jones. Love to see it.
That’s great. Really wanted to play for UK.
Doubt shopping for nil entered the equation.
Really pulling for he and Travis!

He might be a contributer sooner than ppl think. If you are a good shooter (he is) then the way Pope's system works, you don't have to be the most athletic player on the court. He uses the 5 guys in tandem to create opportunities for each other. As long as he can play smart defensively, Pope can use him early.
The kid can play, he can flat shoot it that's for sure. I'm happy for him. He wasn't looked at by the prior regime but I'm glad Pope has taken him. It will pay off for BBN, we just don't know it yet.
Sounds like someone misses Calipari. If you miss his style of recruiting, I'm sure they have room over there if you miss him so much. Quit bashing Pope's style of getting players to come to this University. He is doing a Fantastic job so far. IMO
I’d be thrilled if Noah surpasses expectations but just because someone thinks he won’t contribute much in year 1 doesn’t mean they’re trying to piss in anyone’s Cheerios. I think he’ll be a good player but he’s gonna be on a team of fifth year seniors. I don’t really expect more than spot minutes for him right away.
And that’s fine. We need guys like that.

obviously its him but nothing official from Noah yet. People should let the kid have his moment.
I love kids that play under pressure of the state tourney. Didnt Noah score 47 points in Rupp? He has that desire to beat your *** by any mean necessary. That cant be taught.
Sir, I believe you are actually corn bread and buttermilk.
Fortuitous that two deadeye Kentucky boy snipers graduated in Popes 1st recruiting class 
The cut and dried trolls are literally standing on a bar stool holding a sign saying "look at me, I'm a troll".
Nobody else would be this critical this early.
Reed didn’t do anything in his Sweet Sixteen games that overshadows what Noah did there—at all. You would think it was against the same general level of competition.
I do not expect Noah to come in and be a starter. But I do expect him to surprise people who have this general “he’s just a biggish fish in a tiny pond” view of him. Especially in Pope’s “here let me offer you a wide open three” offense.
Rupp better break out the 3 signs.Fortuitous that two deadeye Kentucky boy snipers graduated in Popes 1st recruiting class
Can't go wrong with another great shooter.
He will come in and hit some 3s and won't complain if he doesn't get a ton of run this season.

We should always have a couple spots for the top guys in our home state. Glad to hear it. Not sure I understand the hate, he’s exactly the kind of guy that would manage to go on a heater for South Carolina and cook us in some random late Tuesday night game a year or two down the line to a chorus of whining on here questioning why we didn’t offer him.
Too many good players for any of the freshman to play their first year. Could be solid players the sophomore or junior years.
Be careful or you will be called a hater.
I like Noah but a better shooter than Reed? Reed is probably the best shooter in UK history or is damn close to it. If Noah is better than him that would be beyond incredible. I hope he is.
Reed was a better athlete than most give him credit. I guess many people stereotyped him. If the NBA is going to pick you in the top 10, then they have to be impressed with how an explosive of an athlete you are. Trent might never make the NBA , but very few college players actually do. It's only like 1.2% of the players that make that jump.
Reed is a great shooter. Noah is a better shooter than he was in HS.
