Gicarri Harris Will Remember Purdue's Seniors for One 'Amazing' Quality

West Lafayette, Ind. — While the box scores will remember Braden Smith, Trey Kaufman-Renn and Fletcher Loyer for their points, rebounds and assists, Purdue sophomore guard Gicarri Harris says one intangible trait above all will define the senior trio’s legacy.

“One thing about the senior trio of Braden Smith, Trey Kaufman-Renn and Fletcher Loyer stood out most to Purdue sophomore guard Gicarri Harris,” the program noted in a release Tuesday, hinting at a quality that transcends statistics.

Harris, entering his second year in the Boilermaker backcourt, offered no further elaboration, but the single word he chose — “amazing” — was enough to stoke curiosity among teammates and fans eager to understand what exactly made the veterans’ influence so memorable.

With the seniors having now completed their Purdue careers, Harris’s reflection underscores a locker-room impact that figures to linger long after the final buzzer of their era sounded.
