TKR redshirting
- Thread starter BoilerinLouisville
- Start date
TKR’s second choice was UVA, and he probably would’ve needed to redshirt there, too. Only at a down talent IU would he have played, but that’s because of how much they need able bodies. Their squeaker with a bad EMU team showed how far they’ve dropped after Little Archie’s tenure of mediocrity.
Wole enjoys writing. Reading and listening is boring.
well, when there's an ax to be ground, Bigs is going to pedal that wheel furiously...
I don’t know if TRK’s hand injury or his high school competition limited his development. For one reason or another, he seems not to be as competitive in scrimmages or practices as his ranking would indicate. He needs to have time to develop, and to get his legs under him. This red shirt seems like a good idea to me. He might have been a top 50 player at some point, but right now his play doesn’t seem to match that ranking.
These kids are always a bit unpredictable. While I don’t think so, it is possible that TRK will never see the floor. With his talent and physical gifts, I expect him to be a major contributor at Purdue, but there is also that small possibility that some combination of injuries, motivation, and opportunity might change his life direction. I hope the kid has all the success he deserves, but I always temper my long term expectations until we see a bit more of a player.

Don't agree with that sentence. He looked like a very potent scorer in the fan day scrimmages. I can not speak to practices.
possibly. We will see how this will go. That manager is known to be a garbage human being, but seems like Trevion may have made some mistakes. Have to see how it plays out
She is going to be public enemy #1 if her charges effect a dream season and it turns out to be a false accusation. I suspect Michigan State is behind this
I know some people that have worked for/with her. You don't have to take my word for it though. I didn't mean to say that it is something that everyone knows.
My buddy called this months ago. Idiots like @atlboiler2156 called him insane. It will be better for Renn and the program. As usual @atlboiler2156 doesn’t have a clue.
Checked the St John’s box score and Wheeler did ok. He didn’t start though. 6 points, 6 boards in 17 minutes played. Similar to last year I think.
I hope he has a great year. AW is a great kid.
For anyone having an issue with the redshirt or the guys down south that say TKR is not happy..... This answers your questions straight from TKR himself.
This makes all the sense in the world for TKR AND Purdue. The fact that it’s not what you personally envisioned for his path at Purdue, and beyond, is completely irrelevant.
I have always been very impressed when I have heard Trey in interviews. I feel the same about Furst and Waddell, for that matter. I love that Painter recruits character and maturity.
Weird. An expert on Purdue transfers posted that Trey would be leaving Purdue before next year.
Refreshing to hear TKR and how he gets the big picture. He is wise and mature beyond his years. Even if he were to never play basketball again, I'd bet on him doing big things on whatever he does. He's talks with the wisdom/experience of someone much older and he is only 18 or 19. Wish I could go back to that age and re-live some experiences with the wisdom I have now in my 40's.
Looks like Trojan and our old friend and frequent visitor (under multiple handles, all of which were banned) Courtsense are melting down the IU board over TKR. Funny to watch two posters who can post on any other forums because of their non stop trolling and history of bigotry, respectively keep destroying that cesspool. No idea why their mods permit it, though I recall Peegs laid out a permanent ban for Court after he was outed by the IU AD. Please keep them out of here.
Is that why he had to create Courtsense "2"
He is a very impressive young man. He wants to be better, is humble and is not in a hurry. He wants to be a great defensive play. He's already got an offensive game, size and motivation. So happy he's a Boilermaker!
TIL that TKR's uncle, Matt Renn, played basketball at Indiana State and is in the ISU Athletics Hall of Fame.
I'm frequently reminded of what an immature douche' bag I was at 19 in relation to most of these kids.
No, but I watch games carefully. Painter plays those who show they are ready in the practices. You can watch these early games to see who is getting it done in practices. TRK may be very skilled but he didn't play much in the exhibition game, so I assume (we know what that means) that he is a little behind in developing, which shows in their practices.
Not trying to be a know-it-all here. I am more than ready to accept a differing opinion if someone has better information.
TRK? Turkey on your mind that much less than 2 weeks from Thanksgiving? lol
I just realized something about AW. He is now at St. John's. They play IU this week. He gets another chance to be undefeated against them.
My wife says I do think too much about food. Idont know why. All I do is ask her how is she doing, and what’s for dinner…
Your opinion is as valid as anyones. Im just always curious as to 'inside information' versus the wesite coaches we all are here.
