Draft Bombshell: Kentucky’s Mega – Talent Anthony Davis Stuns with Early Draft Declaration Today!
Draft Bombshell: Kentucky’s Mega – Talent Anthony Davis Stuns with Early Draft Declaration Today!
It’s official. Mark Pope’s Kentucky recruiting efforts have now done something that never would have happened under John Calipari.
He’s welcomed home scoring wing Trent Noah following his decommitment from South Carolina.
Where Calipari never even bothered to talk with the Harlan County star, who ranks fifth all-time in scoring within the state, Pope has gotten him to Lexington.
That puts Kentucky in a situation it could hardly have expected just two months ago before Calipari’s departure, which rocked college basketball, with a future in which it may well be led by not one, but two in-state stars.
Along with Noah, the state’s top all-time scorer, Travis Perry, remained committed to UK even after Calipari’s move.
Speaking to KSR this week, Noah said he looked forward to chasing the school’s ninth banner with Perry.
“Travis, he’s an exceptional guy. He comes from an exceptional family,” Noah said.
“We played together some this summer and we got to compete against each other in the state finals but the good thing is — we were talking — it’s just now that we’re on the side same, we’re working toward that same goal.
“We’re trying to hang No. 9 together. To finally be on the same team, it really is special.
That’s one of the first people that I texted after and I’m just super excited to get to work with him.”
