I had a wonderful meeting with @KentuckyMBB new coach, Mark Pope. We had a great discussion about his return to Lexington, and amazing things about our city. He's going to be the perfect leader for our young Wildcats & for our community. Welcome to Lexington, Coach Pope & family!

📈 STOCK UP
🔼 Welcome! The men’s basketball team picked up a Kentucky native for its 2024-25 roster. Trent Noah was the fifth all-time leading scorer in Kentucky high school basketball history. He is a 6’6” wing who will be a freshman this fall. In his senior year, Noah averaged 29.9 points per game on shooting 56% from the field, 43% from distance and 89% from the free-throw line.
"Coach just started screaming on the phone. He was yelling, it was pretty neat. You could tell how excited he was and still every time I talk to him he seems just as excited."
