I hope there is 20 more if that is what it takes to get the kid to Kentucky. Glad the portal is an option nowadays. Hope it somehow happens this year. Pope wants them for the name on the front than there is Noah better option. Send the word through Travis and have the Champ and Runner Up start the new Unforgettable legacy.
Trent Noah
- Thread starter Kentuckybred
- Start date
If he was from one of the other 49 states I doubt we would have had 1.
To be brutally honest, kids care more about NIL than they do the name on the front of the jersey. I think that's something fans are going to have to accept.
Better that he keeps his commitment. I guarantee if he asks for a release, Pope will be accused of tampering by the media, coaches and NCAA.
He will get a year under his belt, get good coaching….and if he wants to be a Cat he can go into the portal after this season.

I would love to have him at UK. I know it's a small detail, but he is nowhere close to 6'8. I stood next to him on the court after the state semifinal, and he had me by maybe 3 inches, and I'm 6'2. He's good size guard, though.
Top 35 player Phillon sp? just ask out of his national letter of intent with Kansas so he can transfer somewhere else. Think he is an incoming frosh. So the Harlan guy could do the same if he wanted. Don't see Self throwing a fit in public about it or denying him.

Think people that know him are saying UK is where he wants to be. No need wasting time if this is where his heart is. Especially with many spots open. Won't be as many next season.
He’s never said a word about it.
But some of our mind reading fans have nonetheless decided he wants out.
Yeah. I looked a couple of clips and was looking for the 6'8" guy. He's really not a college 3.
He can get out of his loi just like philon at kansas--just ask--
the days of holding players to their commit is long gone
ASK--and he shall receive

If he wants to be here he’ll reach out to Pope. There is no way Pope will turn this kid down. If he doesn’t want to be here, then he won’t reach out. Simple as that. No more of this silly BS like we heard about Nate Oats wanting the job but publicly saying otherwise. We’re all grownups here… even Trent.
Honor and integrity in college sports went to
with NIL.That ship has sailed. Every player does what's best for them and that is ok. Just don't hold some players and school's to a higher standard than what EVERYONE else is doing.
Reality.
GREEDY agents, parents and players are gonna kill the goose that lays their golden eggs.
like $20 burger flipper jobs--they soon don't exist.
The smaller schools will not be able to compete, thus the available college slots for making $$$ will be reduced. Many will not get the opportunity to demonstrate their prowess at a low level and then cash out with the majors.
The fewer available teams, fewer the opportunities to grow and earn in a 2nd or 3rd year at a major.

People have mentioned who know the situation/family personally that they are die hard UK fans. I know Cal never even gave him a sniff but he likely wants to stick to his word even though the situation here has changed. It may end up not being this year but just seems like he’s destined to be a cat at some point. Hopefully he has a great freshman year and stays away from injuries and we could possibly see him next year. If pope were allowed to reach out it would be different and yeah there are ways around that I know. I don’t think it’s a situation of he’s a KY kid so we want him he’s actually a KY kid that can really play and should only get better.
Can’t speak for this kid but several posters close to Noah said he grew up a UK fan.
Important thing if Noah wanted to come to UK is if Pope would really want him and utilize him before he starts asking SC for a release. For that reason alone he needs to contact Pope if he is serious about trying to come to UK.
Trent is good friends with Reed Sheppard. Jeff would let Pope know how good this kid is. Pope (unlike Cal) would know how to utilize him.
He's a Kentucky boy who apparently grew up as a Wildcat fan. If he is given an opportunity to play for Kentucky he would walk through Hell to be here (like all of us would have). His letter of intent means nothing compared to an opportunity to be at Kentucky.
Have to say it would be nice for him and Perry to come in at the same time and grow together in the program
Yup, we need rosters full of Trent Noah’s and Cassidy Rowe’s.Coaching malpractice that this kid wasn't recruited hard out of h.s.; f-ing Cal
