Trey Kaufman-Renn

[collegehoopsfan123]

If you look at Purdue Fan Day 2021 videos on YouTube before his redshirt
season, he was much thinner from the waist up, moving around the court
faster, with some Jared Jeffries to his game. I understand he backed
up Zach at the 5 last year. Now that he plays the 4, would like to see
him get his mobility back from 2021 by getting rid of some upper body
weight. Robbie Hummel had no problem playing the 4 without great
upper body mass. TKR looked like a true stretch 4 coming to Purdue.

I know the season just began, but he sure looked like a Hummel / V. Edwards
type when he first arrived. I don't think he will ever thrive trying to be a bigger
4-man with the added weight. Caleb Furst retained his athleticism from high school
because he didn't put on much upper body weight. Coming out of high school,
TKR and Furst looked like a DEADLY combo to me. North Carolina offered the
slimmer, more versatile TKR from 2021 for a reason. Would love to see it back!!

Mother Nature says that isn’t likely. Lots of guys continue to fill out between 18-23.

The bigger issue for TKR at the 4 is his 3 ball and handle.

He IS smaller than he was last season. Multiple people commented early on how much leaner he looked.

I agree and both looked better during 2021 Fan Day.
TKR looked more athletic/mobile/confident back then, too.

He looked every bit of all that at the intersquad scrimmage 2023.
NO clue what has happened since.
