Harlan County, a small region in eastern Kentucky with a population of just over 25,000, has produced a variety of well-known individuals. Of course, some of you may remember Cawood Ledford, former play-by-play announcer for Kentucky football and basketball for 39 years. Maybe even the name Jordan Smith, 2015 winner of The Voice, rings a bell. What about Nick Lachey, who managed to play himself on a couple episodes of One Tree Hill and participate in 17 reality shows in the same career? Whether you recognize those names or not, the point still stands — Harlan County creates legends. On Wednesd...

Mark Pope made it clear he’d be keeping the state’s top talent home in Kentucky when he took the job, stressing the importance of players understanding what it means to be a Wildcat and wear the blue and white. No one understands the magnitude of that more than kids who grow up here as members of Big Blue Nation, the ones bleeding blue from the day they were born. It’s those who counted down the shot clock as Rex or Richie or Delk or Walker or Wall or Knight or Booker or Ulis or Monk in the backyard looking to hit the game-winner before doing it themselves inside Rupp Arena like Reed Sheppard ...

Kentucky’s newest commit is fifth on the KHSAA all-time scoring list with over 3,700 career points. The 6-foot-6, 200-pound point guard from Harlan County (Baxter, KY) announced his commitment to Kentucky on Wednesday. He becomes the second in-state prospect in UK’s 2024 ...

The 13th Region has produced some all-time Kentucky greats throughout the men’s basketball program’s illustrious history. Wallace “Wah Wah” Jones (Harlan) and Richie Farmer (Clay County), in particular, made names for themselves during their respective college careers playing basketball for the Wildcats. This past season, Reed Sheppard broke a 30-plus year drought of 13th Region boys suiting up in the blue and white, winning National Freshman of the Year along the way. But, especially over the last few decades, it’s not often that the 13th Region — made up of schools from eastern Kentucky — se...

This one didn’t take like to come to fruition. On Tuesday afternoon Trent Noah announced that he had been released from his National Letter of Intent at South Carolina. Then, just over 24 hours later, Coach Cody Fueger dropped a “boom tweet” signaling that good news was on the horizon. Soon after, Noah announced that he would be staying in-state and suiting up for the University of Kentucky. The three-star, Top 150 prospect from Harlan County High School brings Coach Mark Pope’s scholarship roster count to 10 players. Noah finished his high school career fifth all-time in KHSAA history scoring...

Two County boys from opposite ends of the state are about to link up together in Lexington — and they have set lofty goals in front of them. Once Harlan County’s Trent Noah officially announced his commitment to Kentucky on Wednesday, the Big Blue Nation immediately dreamt of a starting backcourt that featured the state’s fifth all-time leading high school scorer (Noah) and the state’s top all-time leading high school scorer (Lyon County’s Travis Perry). Perry has been locked in with Kentucky since November, and a coaching change wasn’t going to stop him from playing for the program he grew up...

Trent Noah is Kentucky through and through. A star for Harlan County, Noah led the Black Bears to the 2024 Sweet 16 title game. He nearly set a record for most points scored in one state tournament and finished his career as one of the five best scorers in the history of Kentucky high school basketball. On Thursday he announced he will be joining Mark Pope’s Kentucky basketball program, continuing a legacy of Kentucky Wildcats in his family. In the official announcement from UK, many learned for the first time that his grandfather played football for the Wildcats. Charles ‘Perky’ Bryant suited...

And then there were ten, Mark Pope and the Wildcats clearing the double-digit roster number with Harlan County’s own Trent Noah putting pen to paper with Kentucky — his dream school. The move comes just a day following his release from South Carolina, making it clear he wanted to play closer to home after committing to the Gamecocks last October and signing in November. Noah joins a group that includes fellow in-state star Travis Perry, along with Collin Chandler to make up the freshman class, while Amari Williams, Lamont Butler, Otega Oweh, Andrew Carr, Brandon Garrison, Koby Brea and Kerr Kr...

Rupp Arena was built on the backs of hard-nosed homegrown players. From Ralph Beard in Louisville to Wah Wah Jones in Harlan, the Kentucky basketball program owes its early success to talented instate players who reached their potential under Adolph Rupp. That success created whimsical imagery of the Bluegrass version of The American Dream. Kids across the Commonwealth grow up dreaming of leading the Wildcats to glory. That dream turned into more of a fantasy under John Calipari. The Kentucky head coach had unprecedented recruiting success across the country. Not every player from within the b...

Soon after he was hired, Mark Pope was able to hold onto Travis Perry‘s commitment to Kentucky, but Perry won’t be the only Bluegrass native joining the Wildcats next season. On Wednesday, it was reported by Matt Norlander of CBS Sports that Harlan County class of 2024 shooting guard Trent Noah has committed to Kentucky. An excellent scorer at 6-foot-6, Noah was previously signed to South Carolina but was granted a release from his National Letter of Intent (NLI) on May 7. “Paperwork is in and he’s a Wildcat,” Norlander wrote on social media. Noah is considered the No. 122 high school senior i...
