Kansas sets Big 12 media day buzzing with Trey Kaufman-Renn signing weeks before the season
Kansas coach Bill Self said the 6-foot-9 forward is practicing already as the Jayhawks fill a roster spot left by an injured freshman.
- On Monday, Kansas announced All-Big Ten forward Trey Kaufman-Renn joined the roster. The transfer from Purdue, previously drafted by the Timberwolves, was already practicing with the team.
- Grant Mordini's season-ending knee injury earlier this month opened a roster spot for Kaufman-Renn. The freshman forward's absence allowed the transfer to take his place on the team.
- A preliminary injunction from an Indiana court case keeps Kaufman-Renn eligible for now. Teammates Tre White and Melvin Council Jr. also regained eligibility through separate court rulings.
- Kansas head coach Bill Self addressed media on Tuesday at the Big 12 Media Days in Kansas City, Missouri. Self said the reloaded roster is "deeper" and "more skilled shooting the basketball."
- Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark emphasized that "tentpole events" matter to the league's future. The commissioner said the conference will "backstop" championship tournaments if the College Football Playoff expands.
