The mystery behind why Kentucky sophomore guard Trent Noah suited up but didn't play against Louisville is still unclear, but what’s much clearer is who he is as a person; and the mindset that will shape his future in Lexington.

The sharpshooter returned against Eastern Illinois and posted eight points with three rebounds in 22 minutes. But the numbers aren’t what people are talking about. Instead, it’s a recent interview he gave with Forcht Bank, where Noah revealed a perspective that is rare for a college athlete.

“I feel like last year I learned really quick that I’m not a basketball player,” Noah said.
