I don’t necessarily think TKR is a better player than Furst- but he fits better next to tre.
I still just don’t see how a Furst/Trevion lineup would work
I don't know if he will have the speed/quickness for that spot as a freshman. It might be dependent on match-ups if he would see time at the 3. I am sure Painter gave him to-do list to get opportunities at the 3 but would seem like a big jump from 4 to 3 as a freshman
Yea, I have never been convinced he can be a 3 from what I have seen. I think he is going to have to really work to get there. Hopefully, he will and/or maybe Im wrong, idk. My eyes just dont see a 3 when I watch him play (youtube clips, not in person).
Not enough camera view to identify why the close out was not very good to know whether it was mostly location and sight of ball and man or just a physical issue
As the saying goes we will know more tomorrow. It will be interesting to see how much if any of the freshmen get time and at what position. Painter has said that Furst earned his place on the U18 team by rebounding like no one else, that could just be PU speak, but he appeared to hold his own there. Because if he is playing a 5 he is behind two rather good players and may have to play the 4 to get on the court. Not sure how that may or may not work out.
He collected more rebounds than anyone else on the squad. That's not PU speak.
And he collected most of them playing 4.
I would recommend going back to post #28 in this thread and watching the short video there (1m 7s, I think) about TKR, if you have not done so already. At the end it shows him talking at length to a kd on the losing team. I was more proud of his conduct there than the way he played in the game hilites that preceded that, THIS is a quality kid we got coming in. He will make us proud both on and off the court.
In this 22-minute press conference, CMP said that TKR has lost 13-14 lbs since summertime. That was fantastic to hear.

I didn't listen to the press conference, but if he's dropping weight, Painter must be planning on using him as a wing after all.In this 22-minute press conference, CMP said that TKR has lost 13-14 lbs since summertime. That was fantastic to hear.

I am sure Painter told him if you can do these x# of things, you will get a shot at the 3. Weight must be one?
"If you weigh more than me, you can't play the three."
He looked heavier after he came back from the injury during his HS season.
I thought I read that Painter told them in recruiting that they would get an opportunity to play a few different spots. Furst 4/5 TKR 3/4.
Although I read that TKR was asked to guard Edey in practice. I’m sure that was fun

And to think that a former poster here was telling us that TKR's secret to success was to bulk up. 😁In this 22-minute press conference, CMP said that TKR has lost 13-14 lbs since summertime. That was fantastic to hear.

Can’t remember the name of the poster you are describing- but I am pretty sure they spoke in hillbilly language from what I can recall.
Williams, Edey, Furst, Gillis, Kaufman, Newman, Sasha, Ivey, Hunter and Thompson...heck of a deep team.
The same that said Trey wouldn't play with Furst.

I love how these young bucks can come onto campus and drop 10-15lbs in like 2 months, while us old guys try to love 10-15lbs over 10 years and it never happens.
I am the one that said that I do not see how Furst and Tre starting together would work.
When they were being recruited?? Well, sometimes people just get it wrong. They kept recruiting both and landed both.
The whole BS about not playing together was an IU thing. Think after Furst committed the Loosiers beat that drum to improve their chances with Kaufmann. Guess their drum had a hole in it.
Oh… that is gonna get confusing since before this season Tre meant Trevion lol
So BillyHillUI is the one that said Trey and Furst wouldn’t commit to the same school? Don’t remember that.
He wasn't alone. Most of the Loisiers pushed that narrative. They knew they weren't getting (didn't want!!!😉) Furst so they needed to get Kaufmann.
No biggie since they got Duncomb, who’s “just as good” as Furst.
Well that even further confirms he was an IU troll. I feel even worse about the time I wasted arguing him
He would just say that you and I are the same person and using different devices to make it look like we are different people. Maybe we are the same person and I/we are just insane?
I lost 30 pounds my freshman year at Purdue (didn't need football weight anymore). I've gained it all back now and tried losing it again recently...my body said "Wha? Nope!"
Most people put on a freshman 15, not lose a freshman 30! Fortunately, I come from some decent genes and still weigh within 5+/- 3 of my graduation weight. If I were willing to give up the booze, I'd probably make some progress (but that's not an option).
