Certainly interesting, especially given the high praise he received during the state tournament. Now with that said, I've got no clue if he's even a Kentucky fan. The article I read only stated that he wanted to play closer to home and that UK, Louisville and Tennessee would likely be in the mix.

How will we ever replace the 2 points he put up against Oakland?  

   

For years people were begging to have three and four year players. Yet when you have three or four year player, some fans make comments like this.

Anything Theiro would do next year at UK, he would be "Cal's guy". If Theiro has a great year next year and the team has success, some people would want to give credit to Cal for getting Theiro to UK, for coaching Theiro up for 2 years, and even for UK having a good season, etc. The same way people said Tubby Smith did it with Pitino's players but on a smaller scale. 

Does that help you understand the point I was inferring? No Theiro means Cal has nothing to do with next year at UK.

It’s all good, I fully understand.

Pope was loving on his team in the Herald this morning, but said he needed one more piece.  Specifically a big guard that could make a play when it was really needed.  Sounded like Noah Fant could fit that need perfectly.  Really exciting to watch him for the first time during Sweet Sixteen.  Noah checks a lot of needs for either UK, Tennessee or Louisville.  Hope you can get him Coach.

Oh, my.  Thanks nikeman49.  Cocktail hour or fat fingers….not sure.

Noah Fant is TE for Seattle Seahawks.  Tough getting old and confusing great athletes.

I don’t think Noah Trent is necessarily that guy in regards to going to make a play for you really need it, at least not as a freshman. Great shooter, and good basketball player. However, IMO what they are missing is a guy that can truly go create his own shot when things may be breaking down. I don’t think that is Trent next year. With that said I absolutely hope he comes here, because I do think he can help this year and will be a big time player for us over the next few years.

I’m the person caught up in confusion!! ??

Trent Noah is coming to UK.  Great job Coach Pope, you will have a talented warrior that can shoot, pass, rebound and create for several years (I hope, as Reed Shepherd surprised us all).

Loving his team!

I’m not sleeping on him. I even said I hope he comes here and I believe he could help this year and be a big time player for a few years.
