The Kentucky Wildcats have another confirmed returnee for next season, this one coming from Trent Noah.
On Friday, Noah announced his return to Kentucky through a post on Twitter. “I’m back,” Noah wrote. In 24 game appearances as a true freshman, the Harlan County product averaged 2.7 points on 45.1% shooting (33.3% from 3-point range) and 1.9 rebounds in 11.1 minutes per game. The highlight of his season came in Kentucky’s home win over the Tennessee Volunteers.
That game saw Noah score a career-best 11 points on 3/4 shooting (all from deep) to go with two boards and one assist in 19 minutes. He logged 28 minutes in Kentucky’s three NCAA Tournament games, notching seven points (2/3 shooting) and one rebound. Noah will have his work cut out for him earning minutes on what should be a deep roster next season, but he has a bright future ahead of him. Here’s to hoping we get to watch it play out for three more seasons in Lexington.
