Harlan County's Trent Noah officially commits to Kentucky

Harlan County star Trent Noah has found his home — and he doesn’t have to travel far to get there. The standout guard who has racked up 3,707 career points and averaged 29.9 points as a senior this past season announced his commitment to Kentucky on Wednesday.

“BBN is home,” the nation’s No. 122 overall prospect and No. 29 shooting guard said.

His commitment comes after being granted his release from South Carolina this week.

Noah earned All-State honors averaging 29.9 points and 10.4 rebounds per contest while shooting 56.0% overall, 43.0% from three and 88.9% at the line in 39 games as a senior at Harlan County. His 3,707 total points ranks fifth-most in KHSAA history, highlighted by a magical Sweet 16 run that included 35 points in the first round, 48 in the second, 29 in the semifinals and 17 in the finals for an average of 32.3 per contest — an all-time postseason effort that ended in a heartbreaking loss to Travis Perry’s Lyon County squad in the championship.

Going 102 for 237 from three his final season of high school, Noah is a truly elite shooter with a quick and confident release ready made for the college game. At 6-6, 200 pounds, he’s also got positional size at the wing position while also attacking the glass as a strong rebounder, a mature player who plays older than his age.

And now, he’s officially a Kentucky Wildcat.

Welcome to the family.
