Kentucky basketball fans may be focused on the flashy newcomers and big-name transfers, but inside the Wildcats’ locker room, there’s a different kind of buzz — and it’s coming from someone nobody saw coming.
In a recent press conference, Kentucky transfer Jaland Lowe surprised everyone when he revealed who’s caught his eye the most this offseason.
> “Trent’s been the surprise of the offseason,” Lowe said. “His work ethic, his energy, the way he’s been hooping — I didn’t see this coming, but man, he’s been killing it.”
That “Trent” is none other than Trent Noah, the freshman from Harlan County. While most eyes have been on experienced transfers and high-profile recruits, it’s Noah who’s quietly rising — and making serious noise during offseason workouts.
Lowe, a highly regarded transfer himself, didn’t hesitate to give Noah his flowers. It’s not every day a freshman earns praise like this from a teammate who’s already played at a high level, but Noah’s relentless grind and early impact are impossible to ignore.
Whether it’s lighting it up from deep, locking in on defense, or showing next-level hustle during drills, Noah has been everything Kentucky could’ve hoped for — and more.
With Mark Pope at the helm and a reloaded roster ready to make a statement in year two, don’t be surprised if Trent Noah becomes one of the breakout stories of the season.
Kentucky fans, take notice: the most underrated Wildcat might already be outperforming everyone — and Jaland Lowe just confirmed it.
