Trent Noah has decided to return for his junior season with the Kentucky Wildcats, marking a positive development for coach Mark Pope. Noah, who has shown promise as a player, averaged 3 points and 2.3 rebounds per game last season.
Most of the Kentucky Wildcats roster from last season has made their decision on whether to return to Kentucky or seek a fresh start elsewhere. One of the last to make an announcement was Trent Noah, who finally made his choice on Sunday.
Noah will be returning for his junior season with the Wildcats. It's a good win for coach Mark Pope, who gets a player back who not only plays hard, but now has lots of experience in the system and can be a leader on the floor.
Though Noah originally committed to South Carolina, he eventually made his way to Lexington as a freshman. He immediately became a solid body off the bench. He fought hard, and became a fan favorite. In year two, he developed a bit more as a shooter, but had trouble finding minutes. He would wind up averaging 3 points and 2.3 rebounds per game.
His return is one that Kentucky fans will be happy with. His effort is never in question, and his game should develop even further. It will be fun to watch him, and it's nice to know he wants to be a Wildcat.
