Saturday Headlines: Trent Noah and Collin Chandler return to Kentucky Basketball

Good morning, BBN!

An exciting past couple of days as we saw Collin Chandler announce his return on Thursday:

Followed by Trent Noah announcing his return on Friday:

After an up-and-down week in the transfer portal, it was a great end to the week seeing these two freshmen return for their sophomore season.

Both of these players excite me a lot, maybe Chandler slightly more with his athleticism, but if Noah can cut some weight this offseason and replace it with muscle, he could be dangerous next year.

Both showed some great flashes throughout the season.

Trent Noah’s performance against Tennessee both times in the regular season was special.

Collin Chandler’s confidence rising towards the end of the year earned him a serious spot in the rotation, which was awesome to see.

The Cats are still looking for one more player to close the 2025-26 roster. That may end up being Kansas transfer Rylan Griffen.

Hardley Gilmore returns to Kentucky Football

Hardley Gilmore returns to Kentucky Football

A wide receiver from Belle Glade, Florida, Gilmore totaled 28 receptions for 313 yards and one touchdown for the Wildcats during the 2025 season. The 6-foot-1 sophomore has had a very interesting offseason as he entered the portal, flipped a commitment, and is now back in Lexington.

After the 2025 season, Gilmore committed to Louisville when he entered the transfer portal, then flipped his commitment to Baylor, and ultimately signed with the Bears. To end Gilmore’s portal saga, he’s now back in a familiar place with the Wildcats.

When the 2026 season begins, Gilmore will have two years of eligibility remaining.

Gilmore had a solid sophomore campaign with the Wildcats, appearing in all 12 games. His best game of the season came in the late-season loss against Vanderbilt. He tallied six catches for 55 yards in the game.

With Kentucky losing most of its wide receiver production from last season, this is a significant pickup, and it won’t be surprising if Gilmore is back in the starting lineup this fall.

Watch: Blast brings down Northern Kentucky bridge

COVINGTON, Ky. (WKRC) – The Licking River Bridge was demolished Monday morning in a controlled blast, clearing the way for a replacement structure.

Authorities established a 1,000-foot safety perimeter, closed nearby roads and asked residents to shelter in place before the demolition. The bridge collapsed within seconds of the blast.

“Today we say goodbye to a bridge that has served Kentuckians for nearly a century and we make room for something new. A signature bridge that is safer, stronger and we make room for something new,” Gov. Andy Beshear said. “This region, like the rest of the commonwealth, is evolving, it is booming, it’s economy growing every day. What we’re doing together is building our new Kentucky home.”

The Licking River Bridge is now history after crews brought it down with a controlled demolition Monday morning. (WKRC)

Crews will begin construction on the new bridge after debris removal is complete. The replacement bridge is expected to open in the summer of 2028.
