Purdue finished the 2024-25 season with a 24-12 record, advancing to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. The Boilermakers have a talented big man in Trey Kaufman-Renn, who averaged 20.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game. However, they struggled with rim protection and rebounding, areas where 7-foot-4 freshman Daniel Jacobsen was expected to contribute before getting injured early in the season.
Iowa State, coming off a 25-10 record and a second-round NCAA Tournament appearance, is also looking to add size to their roster this offseason.
