Trent Noah talks about journey to Kentucky
The Kentucky Wildcats roster for the 2024-25 season is practically set, as Mark Pope and his staff have filled out the roster with 12 players to this point in the summer.
Over the next few days, the new players will arrive in Lexington, but for two class of 2024 recruits, it means a little more.
Travis Perry and Trent Noah will be heading to campus here soon, and for the two Kentucky high-school superstars wearing the blue-and-white jersey is a special one. Perry was coming to Lexington under John Calipari, but Noah got a call from Coach Pope to join the class and it was an opportunity he just couldn’t pass up.
Noah recently joined Cameron Mills and the UK Sports Network to talk about his journey to Kentucky, and it is a special one for the Harlan County superstar.
Originally committed to South Carolina for next season, now instead of facing off against the Cats, he will suit up for UK.
A cool story and is a player that is sure to be a fan favorite.
Welcome to the BBN, Trent.

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.
