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.

Ohio tornado warnings: what residents should know
Severe storms June 17 in Ohio: know tornado watch vs. warning, safety steps, shelters and alerts.
A tornado was confirmed to have ripped through the Florence area during the overnight storms June 18.
The National Weather Service in Wilmington released a statement June 20 saying a tornado traveled eastward 6.2 miles across the Northern Kentucky city, 10 miles south of Cincinnati. It had estimated peak winds of 100 mph, which classifies it as an EF1 “moderate” tornado on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.
The tornado’s path goes mostly through residential areas, and the first evidence was found on Landings Way where several trees were snapped at their trunks, the weather service reported.
The tornado progressed east, crossing Interstate 71/75 and then seemingly dissipating on Tallwood Circle where multiple large branches were downed, the final known instance of damage.
Along the way, the tornado uprooted multiple trees and snapped branches, damaged several buildings and businesses, and snapped a large power pole near the intersection of U.S. 42 and Dream Street, according to the weather service.
How many tornadoes have been confirmed in Greater Cincinnati, beyond?
As of 1 p.m. June 20, the weather service has confirmed that apart from the one in Florence, two other tornadoes touched down in Greater Cincinnati on June 18:
- An EF2 “significant” tornado that traveled about 9 miles from Dearborn County, Indiana, to Boone County, Kentucky.
- An EF2 “significant” tornado that traveled just over 5 miles from Franklin County, Indiana, to Butler County, Ohio.
A few other tornadoes have been confirmed outside the Greater Cincinnati region, including an EF2 that traveled 23.6 miles from Scott County, Indiana, to Trimble County, Kentucky; an EF2 that traveled 9 miles across Pike County, Ohio; and one in Grant County, Kentucky, just north of Williamstown.
The weather service said details on the Grant County tornado will be released later on June 20.
