Perry, the state\u2019s all-time leading high school scorer, committed to the Rebels after spending his freshman season with the Wildcats.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Uw6UQ2\">\u201cIt definitely stung,\u201d Noah said. \u201cI did everything I could to keep him here. He\u2019s one of my good friends, and he was an excellent player. But at the end of the day, you&#8217;ve gotta do what\u2019s best for you, and that\u2019s what he thought was best for him. I love him and wish him the best. I&#8217;m not looking forward to playing him. That\u2019s for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"GCruyV\">Noah said the two freshmen leaned on each other throughout their first year of college basketball, sharing advice and supporting one another. While Perry chose a fresh start elsewhere, Noah made it clear he never considered leaving Lexington.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Ypei52\">\u201cNo. Nah. This is the greatest place on earth,\u201d Noah said. \u201cI love Coach Pope\u2019s vision for me, and he sees kind of the same path that I see. That\u2019s what we\u2019re looking to do this year, and on the way, win No. 9.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"oDpiqc\">Kentucky fans will get their first look at the revamped roster this fall and possibly a matchup between two former teammates turned SEC rivals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the Kentucky Wildcats\u2019 promising young talents is wishing an old friend well, even if it stings&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1051,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[190,1339,1540,1542,381,1532,204,1531,1530,1541,1535,1537,1317,1337,1338,1527,1539,1536,1534,1528,1538,1529,62,447,1533,1526,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-1050","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-basketball","8":"tag-a","9":"tag-basketball","10":"tag-blue","11":"tag-exclude-from-stn-video","12":"tag-for","13":"tag-friend","14":"tag-front-page","15":"tag-good","16":"tag-his","17":"tag-kentucky-wildcats-basketball","18":"tag-leave","19":"tag-miss","20":"tag-ncaa","21":"tag-ncaa-basketball","22":"tag-ncaabasketball","23":"tag-noah","24":"tag-of","25":"tag-ole","26":"tag-perry","27":"tag-reacts","28":"tag-sea","29":"tag-seeing","30":"tag-sports","31":"tag-to","32":"tag-travis","33":"tag-trent","34":"tag-united-states","35":"tag-unitedstates","36":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114718821814012967","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1050","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1050"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1050\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1051"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1050"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1050"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1050"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
