Yes the kid is a gunslinger big time talent
Trent Noah released from NLI
- Thread starter DaDirtyLeb69
- Start date
He’s coming to UK. I am a nobody and have zero sources but I do have a strong connection with this one and it’s confirmed internally. He’s a Cat. Welcome aboard, Trent!
True.. but I hope the 28 minute difference isn't the deciding factor.
You obviously didn’t see him score 48. Oh well, he’ll prove it!
At the 84 FF in Seattle when we couldn’t hit anything. Still hanging in Vs Gtown. I was yelling at Joe B to put Troy in the game and give him a chance. Never did. We let that NC slip away.
Memories.
Tennessee is not going after him. There is absolutely no mention of him on any Tennessee board.
Trent is no walk on this kid deserves to have Kentucky across his chest big time talent
You think incorrectly. That I know for certain.
Also an entirely different state. Would assume the home state gets the edge.
Our fanbase, above most others have nostalgic hearts to a fault. I just hope everyone is patient with he and Perry. Reed was likely the exception, not the rule.
Co-worker has a relative that is friends with Trent’s dad who texted and told him he’s coming home to play for UK.
And Harlan County finished Runner-up in the 2024 State Tournament. Lost in the final game to Travis Perry's Lyon County team.
At the risk of showing too much exuberance .,.. Can you dig it ? ! ? !
Visit already being set up I’m told with Coach Pope.
I think they want to keep it quiet because some of our fans actually kill us contacting these guys like they’re helping recruit or something. I hate that more Than anything. I believe Anchor is who they want as the Power forward and he’s a bad man, a scorer, maybe Lanier or Richmond and Robinson or maybe Poplar if Robinson ends up elsewhere. I believe that’s the move. If not those guys, then the closest they can find to them at the positions that’ll fit. My opinion only. We could end up getting anyone else and I wouldn’t be surprised at all. Haha.
He hasn’t yet and we’re still in contact. Most people thought he was a done deal a week ago, now, not as much. May not be us of course but he’s still available and is listening. Unless he has announced something today.
No he’s not. He announced something today
10-4. Thanks JFCats. Nice get for them for sure. He’s a great player and it’s a shame he couldn’t stay at Seton Hall. Great coach who’s going to be moving on up after that if he can’t get help to keep his players. This is one thing I hate about the new college world, Kentucky and the big program will be great but the smaller fanbase types are going to struggle. Anyway, big get of the old coache and he’ll make him better I think. Better shape for sure. lol.
I'd be genuinely shocked if Pope didn't at least reach out. I think most fans agree when I say this: "Noah would be a perfect guy to fill out the roster and develop with Perry for four years."
I think he scored 48 in the semis, come from behind win.
I'm about 20 minutes SW of Harlan and I've only met one UofL fan in my life and we kicked his *** for having the audacity. Kidding.
But everyone around here is either a UK fan or strangely enough a TN fan. We are bordering TN though so it does make more sense than UofL.
Yep I agree. If you’re going to have walk ons why not have Kentucky boys for those spots? The former coach wouldn’t even use the full allotment of scholarships yet he would have friends’ sons as walk ons. I know with the moronic transfer portal now if someone doesn’t play much they will transfer 2 or 3 times before using up their eligibility so Kentucky boys might be more likely to stay, especially with the new coach.
Love the idea of keeping Noah at "home". Turning into quite the religious overtone school if so...
A Sheppard
A Pope (Mormon)
A Missionary (Chandler)
A Noah?
In all seriousness, Noah plays hard and is a knock down shooter who will use his body to bang. Never seen him play scared one bit. With a year of UK strength and conditioning his frame will further support him turning into one physically tough SEC dude. With all the final year players coming on board, we need our depth to be young and hungry. This is a perfect fit, an investment on both sides that will pan out in 2-3 years.

30 and 10 rebounds. 6-6 and can shoot the 3 as well as off the dribble. Will be a good one if we get him. Probably not year 1 (but could see him have a game or two for us).
I couldn't agree more! Fans have been asking for homegrown kids for a while. It'll be nice to see familiar names who care about the front of the jersey. If Pope and his staff can develop them, then I see the fan base buying in more than they already have!
We need to start striving to have a few 4 year players on our roster, IMO.
He’s already 6’7” & 215-220. The other numbers were prior to his sr year. In person, he’s so broad. He’s not built like a typical college freshmen.
If Lamont Paris wanted him in Columbia, that is all I need to know. That guy is proving to be a good evaluator of talent, is recruiting for his system, etc. I know UofSC is a lower bar that Kentucky, but I respect Paris for getting players and not focusing on getting NBAers. Plus, we know he coaches a physical brand of ball, so he had to see Noah would fit that mold.
This is not a Paris love letter, but he has managed to keep three of the top in-state prospects "home" since he took over Cocky (Cam Scott being the most recent I believe, keeping him out of Austin). The 10 years prior they struggled to do that as a program. I hope Pope manages to do the same by getting Noah to share a locker-room with Perry.

Nope.. I highly highly doubt that there's 1 UL fan in that whole county..
I sure can! Too many people forget this is the University of KENTUCKY, not New Jersey Univ, Lexington Campus as Cal apparently believed it to be. Native Kentuckians will expend every oz of energy and sweat they have to uphold the UK tradition. AS an aside Harlan has two legendary connections to UK- it's the home of Wah Wah Jones, UK All American and NCAA champion in 48 and 49 and Cawood Ledford , the beloved voice of the wildcats for over thirty years. Bring him on!
Lamont Paris has my respect for releasing Trent without issue.
He had invested a lot of work to get him.
I hate playing USC really tough team mental and physically now under Pairs leadership
If Riley kugel becomes available again and it’s looking like he is, would anybody want Kentucky to try and get him
We gonna need them because Richmond just committed to St. John’s.
He is solid. I don’t know how much of a difference maker he is but he’s a good player.
