Trent is already putting in the work. Already repping the name on the front of the jersey. Something tells me Trent is gonna make Kentucky proud at some point!

Love this. This kid is putting the work. Continue this effort and it will pay off. Happy to have him on our team. This type of work ethic is contagious.
Out talenting teams is easy. I want to out will them. This is what it takes.

Love it! Thanks for sharing 
Gonna be one of those guys to make winning basketball plays that might not end up on the stat sheet! Excited to watch his career unfold in UK blue!!
I don't expect either Noah or Perry to be major contributors as freshman, but I hope they can convey the UK pride to the other guys who aren't from KY.
But I believe they will contribute. Role players year 1.
Kid is agile as can be for his size. He has a very very bright future and it may be a lot sooner than most fans think...
Yep. We out talented the majority of teams we've played. I haven't seen any heart around here in a minute outside of a few guys. It's about time we bully some teams around.
Having homegrown players on the roster is an advantage we have here at Kentucky that other places don't have imo. The players here know the program's legacy, what it means to be here, and they ultimately don't wanna go play anywhere else if they can eventually see the court as a Cat. Hopefully Pope can find that local talent and cultivate it. Looks like he's gonna try!
Folks I think this young man is going to be a star very early on in his career idk what is giving me that feeling but he really passes the eye test to me and has some absurd shooting numbers to back it up. I wouldn't be surprised if we see him contribute earlier than anyone expects.
I really like this signing. Had Noah gone to USCjr, we'd have been kicking ourselves. Pope is just a few pieces away from having a tough, balanced roster. I think teams used to playing against softer Cal-coached squads will be in for a surprise.
Not sure how you meant that but it’s not only an objective thought, it has reasoning behind it as well. Fundamentally sound, high IQ, glue guy, will to win. When I look at Noah, I see a lot of Darius Miller in him.
Ppl will laugh at the comparison bc the skillsets and style aren’t exact.
But from a “what can they bring to a team” it’s fairly similar. Miller was a versatile Swiss Army knife 6th man that could play the 2-4 if needed and was an absolute zone buster in the high post w his face up game. He was the c factor on the 12 title team. Without his versatility we would have needed another guard and a forward to play at a high level
Calipari has you guys dupped. People think because they are white boys from kentucky they can't play. Well Reed proved Caluoari wrong and these guys will prove alot of people wrong as well.
I think 2 guard or a small 3 is his place tight now. Handles the ball well.
Right there with you man. THAT is the UK basketball I was raised on. We might lose, but you’re gonna have to play the game of your lives to beat us. And not just one dude, either. Your whole team.
No more beating ourselves, no more lackluster efforts.
He smarts off a lot. I don't get it but I see it a lot.
After watching Cal for 15 years out talenting teams doesn’t always work so easy lol.
Sad thing is if Cal was an above average coach he would have won multiple banners with the talent he had.
Imagine showing up at every draft celebrating your early first round draft picks when you didn’t win a damn thing. Year in and year out.
We need talent. We also need a coach that knows what the hell to do with that talent.
Who was the guy coaching him there? a local guy or someone national?
Yeah but...but....but what's his wing span? What's his draft projection? 😉😂
This one guy just shows how much Cal's ways was not what Kentucky basketball is about. Used our history and fans to do it the way he wanted to instead of the way it should have been done.
He played it for several years took a growth spurt in the last 2 years. Part of why he was late to the scene and why he was one of the biggest risers in rankings this year.
Looks like Jordan Brangers from Proficient Skills Academy. Played in Germany professionally. Coaches Morgan County’s girls team.
Kid always wanted to play for UK. Cal never showed interest. That's why he backed out of SC. Pope wanted him.
He looks pretty skilled from his workouts, I know a lot of people really wanted him here that have seen him play. I think he could be a good one for us someday. No telling when he will get PT but I like having him.
Plus his athleticism was great too. He was a phenomenal player.
Noah has already put in a ton of work. He completely transformed his body. That's a stout kid. He's got the height, too. I think the people disappointed in that boom last week will be eating crow. Just like with Butler Jr.
What I like is his dedication and commitment to get better. He's putting in the work and it will pay off. I remember once someone asked Larry Bird why he spent so much time in the gym after everyone else had gone home working on all parts of his game. His answer was that someone else is out there doing the same thing and I don't want them to be better than me. Hope we're seeing some of that attitude in Noah.
