Trent Noah, a 6-foot-7 forward from Baxter, Ky., visited the Dayton Flyers on Thursday, according to multiple reports.

Noah, a senior at Harlan County High School, averaged 26.5 points and 12.8 rebounds last season as a junior. He received a scholarship offer from Dayton in June.

Noah ranks 149th in the class of 2024, according to 247Sports.com.

According to Jamie Shaw, a national recruiting analyst for On3.com, Noah has visited Richmond, Loyola Chicago and Seton Hall and has scheduled visits to Western Kentucky, Butler, South Carolina and Saint Louis.

Tanin Smith, of KentuckyKalvary.com, called Noah an underrated recruit.

“Noah possesses great size as a 6-7 wing and scores the ball in droves,” Smith wrote. “Noah is the all-time leading scorer at Harlan County. He received his twenty-fourth Division 1 offer from South Carolina a few days ago, which is his first SEC offer. Noah is a wing but has the vision and ball-handling of a guard. He’s played a fair bit of PG in his high school career, so I think he’ll be a very versatile player at the next level. Noah is a wing but has the vision and ball-handling of a guard.

Dayton has not received a commitment from the 2024 class, and it’s too early to tell how many scholarships it will have open in the class. It has one open in the 2023 class. The 12 scholarship players on the 2023-24 roster all have at least two seasons of eligibility remaining.
