He's a KY guy. He isnt leaving here. That was my point.

These announcements are goofy but I get its part of the me me me college basketball culture of the NIL and transfer portal era. I'm just gonna have to get used to it.
There is nothing self centered about players announcing they are returning to school in an environment where entering the transfer portal by every player is expected. It was a thing before NIL.

Where was he going?
I would say it was people reaching out to him in Eastern Kentucky and via social media asking him the question if he was returning. He makes a statement and it is the end of it for him. Otherwise, after his year (showing improvement from game 1 to game 36) he would have several choices. Heck I would say he had several non power 4 coaches reaching out and maybe some lower power 4 schools that would love him as a true backup option at the 2 or 3. Do not ack like he is a walk on. He is not and anyone from Eastern Kentucky will take offense to that.

Still chasing number 9. I hope it happens during Noah tenure at Kentucky. That will be so cool for him to say I played for Kentucky when we got number 9 title and I was wearing number 9 jersey. That will become the hottest sale jersey for eastern Kentucky !

Welcome back ! May you dream for number 9 become true and many more!

Yeah him and Perry bleed blue and they are living the dream being a cat. Think Pope sees him as a 4 down the road given he wants him to add 15-20 lbs of muscle.

It's all a spectacle now. I don't think anyone ever doubted they would both return as they likely aren't making more money outside of KY than they would playing here. Even if they never become superstar players, KY residents will still show them love and support for just being here.
So is there anybody besides Oweh , that still need to make an announcement of coming back?

He rebounded and shot the three well in limited minutes. I think he will play a big role before he’s done here. Glad the baller from the holler is coming back. Let’s show Noah some love. Go Cats

Not Perry officially. It’ll be t Perry tomorrow. Noah works hard and I think junior year will be a pretty good player for us. He was good for the minutes he played last year.
I agree he has the potential to be a really good rebounder and has a nose for the ball. Can shoot as well and should only improve each year. He seemed to be the only freshman who never looked overwhelmed on the floor during the year. Both Perry and Chandler had their deer in the headlight moments .

Next year with 4 Kentucky kids on the roster would be kinda awesome for them. I mean…any year is awesome as a fan, but that one would have a little extra sauce that we may b it see again
