Trent Noah and Collin Chandler checked into Wildcat Coal Lodge, joining their new UK teammates
Two more Wildcats checked into their new Kentucky home on Thursday. Trent Noah and Collin Chandler, two of the incoming freshmen on Mark Pope’s entirely new basketball roster, moved into Wildcat Coal Lodge, joining six of their new teammates in Lexington. The @KentuckyMBB X/Twitter account shared scenes of their move-ins on campus moments ago.
Chandler opted out of air travel into Lexington, instead taking a three-day road trip from Utah to Kentucky. “It’s so good to be in basketball paradise,” he said in his welcome video. “The assignment is understood. Number nine. Let’s go.”
Noah also arrived by car on Thursday, a trip he’s made many times from Harlan County, two-and-a-half hours away. “I’m so excited to be on campus,” Noah said from his dorm. “It’s time to go win number nine. Go Big Blue.”
By KSR’s count, Pope and his staff still await Koby Brea, Jaxson Robinson, and Amari Williams. Earlier on Thursday, Travis Perry, the third member of the freshman class, moved in from Lyon County, Kentucky.
Kerr Kriisa, Andrew Carr, Ansley Almonor, Otega Oweh, Lamont Butler, and Brandon Garrison have also moved into the Lodge.
It’s almost summer basketball time in the Bluegrass. The new Cats are almost all moved in.
