Utah basketball player Timmy Allen’s new look reminds coach Larry Krystkowiak of how an actor will gain or lose weight to fit a role. To extend the theme, after shedding 25 pounds during the summer, Allen should have asked makeup artists to make him appear much older.
Ute sophomores Both Gach, Riley Battin and Allen are the not team’s oldest players, but they have by far the most Division I experience, in the absence of former teammates who graduated or transferred. Allen has gone from a quietly emerging player as a member of the Pac-12 All-Freshman Team to a leader of a young roster.
