I’m glad we got him! We can’t let guys like him leave the state and play for a team in the conference. He’s a good basketball player and is an asset to our program because he knows what it means to wear a Kentucky uniform.
Noah was a better three shooter in high school than Reed. Sheppard really took it to another level in college. He was above average, but improved 10 percentage points in college than in high school. Noah shot 4 percentage points better than Reed and played in the same region as him. Noah is a great shooter, but it would be hard to match what Reed did this year. That's why Reed didn't stay for year two. He had a career year and needed to leave while his stock was at its highest.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.
How does Perry compare with those two?Noah was a better three shooter in high school than Reed. Sheppard really took it to another level in college.

Anything but a hater, just being realistic about their first year. There’s already a solid 9 man rotation without them if they add Lanier or Robinson. I don’t see who they’d get minutes over, and doubt pope goes that deep into his rotation.Be careful or you will be called a hater.
Agree,He will be good for us by his junior year.Love this pickup. Great to get kids from the state to testify to other players what it means to play for the blue and white.
That, and he may develop into a solid contributor in a couple of years.
Sometimes we can look at more and sometimes we shouldn't take even one maybe for a few years because it depends on the crop.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.
Reed passed up so many shots. It was infuriating.Saying Noah is a better shooter is ok but doing it at the college level is different than high school. Reed shot just over 50% and that just doesn't happen very often at any level. Noah seems to be a good outside shooter but I wouldn't make statements that he is a better shooter than Reed because what Reed did last year was amazing.
Distributing minutes will be a challenge for Pope and staff. However, it is a nice problem to have.Too many good players for any of the freshman to play their first year. Could be solid players the sophomore or junior years.
Noah is bigger than Reed and he is a better shooter.
The numbers show it. He may not shoot as well as Reed did this past year at UK but no one expected Reed to shoot at the level he did. In HS, Noah has been the better shooter. That is a black and white fact.
Reed was a mickey D boy though
It was also unexpected. If you look at the numbers from HS, Noah is the better shooter. Reed had a phenomenal year we all enjoyed but he more than likely caught lightning in a bottle and we never should have expected it to continue at that same rate in the following years had he stayed.Saying Noah is a better shooter is ok but doing it at the college level is different than high school.

I was getting ready to say something. Plus both legs are different colors. Is this a bad photo shop?😀His right leg is bionic!
One of the worst edits I’ve seen for one of these 😂😂😂 kid does have some tree trunks though.His right leg is bionic!
Dewayne Wade wasn't a burger boy either. Just an interesting tidbit I found.So was Bradshaw, Edwards and DJ. Reeves wasn’t. Mickey D doesn’t prove anything.
Did you ever watch him play?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.
He can one leg squat a Cadillac.I was getting ready to say something. Plus both legs are different colors. Is this a bad photo shop?😀
GD right it is and many on here cant get beyond Stars and no defense AAU ball.His love for the name on the front of the jersey is worth an extra star or two. Briars are special that way.
