Incoming freshman composite four-star small forward Trent Noah committed to Kentucky on Wednesday after decommitting from South Carolina.
CBS Sports’ Matt Norlander confirmed his commitment on social media, writing, “Paperwork is in and he’s a Wildcat.”
Noah, a Kentucky native, played high school ball at Harlan County High School in Baxter, Kentucky, and received a three-star ranking from 247Sports but a four-star composite ranking.
Noah had received offers from the likes of Cal, Seton Hall and Western Kentucky and even visited Loyola Chicago before committing to South Carolina in October. He signed his letter of intent in November before asking to be released from it just days ago.
247Sports Director of Scouting Adam Finkelstein described Noah as a “strong-bodied wing and elite shooter of the basketball,” saying his game is “based on the three-point line.”
His commitment made him the third incoming freshman for Kentucky for Mark Pope’s inaugural 2024-25 squad alongside fellow Kentucky native Travis Perry and former BYU commit Collin Chandler.
