Rumors flying. Supposedly decommited from PUke. Wants IU.
Kanon Catchings
- Thread starter Victorbmyboy
- Start date
Flip to IU may be premature, but his recruitment will be opening in the next 48 hours.
Word I’ve gotten is that Catchings wasn’t at all thrilled with Purdue but his parents were less than enthralled with the whole recruiting hoopla and pushed for an early commitment just to get it out of the way.
IU will be a major player in his recruitment going forward but they won’t be the only suitors. Don’t expect a flip overnight but I would love to be wrong.
Would be a huge pickup. Kid has big time upside
Boy that would fire up the rivalry. Mercy mercy.
This and pinning his IU visit on his social media.
Also, according to TOS, he removed Purdue commit from his IG bio, removed Purdue commitment post, and began following Adam Howard and other IU guys. Shortly after following Adam Howard (IU Grad Assistant who helps with recruiting), Howard posted this:

Not saying this is or isn't happening, but will it be awkward for the person who said cannon didn't have an iu offer (because the inaccurate internet said so) and said cannon was overrated. With that being said, hope he sticks to the bright side.
Hearing he might want to reclassify. (Purdue has no 2023 spots)That’s crazy if any or all of this is true.
Take your personal beefs out of here.
Whats the story on catching . Size , position , and where is he from . I had heard he had committed to PU , but that was all I knew about him .
WELL, yesterday the boilers said he was the next Kobe, tonight he's a washed up scrub that couldn't play in a playground. Probably somewhere in between.
6"8" 185 pound small forward from Brownsburg IN. 11.6 ppg 3.0 rpg 42% from 3 point range. According to The Daily Hoosier, attended an IU team camp, and briefly met CMW. Apparently had an unofficial visit to IU. Grandfather is NBA player Harvey Catchings, Aunt is WNBA star Tamika Catchings. Mother played for Illanoy. Got some bloodlines.
Initial interest from IU, PU, Illanoy, Xavier, Cincy, UM, ND and OSU.
Seems a little thin, but he can bulk up and hit the weights.
Yes. Remember Eric Gordon and was it Illinois?
Like rats from a sinking ship. There are signs that a coach is done, and one is recruiting dries up. The kid probably doesn't want to lose to a mid-major or play 1960's Frankenball in a failed system.
Last years stats. He’s 17.5 and 7 a game. Point forward type. He blew up. He also lit up Kokomo. 39 points I think. Really quick athletic. Smooth. Shoots free throws well. He’s got everything the NBA wants.
Honestly, only stories. I checked totally out the day Sampson was hired. I just couldn't believe we made that hire and I was willing to ditch my life long most important thing, IU BBall, because of it.. When you sleep with hogs you get dirty.
Waiting for Richie to say he’s UK bound?
Is there anything actually to this? Would be pretty funny if true but these things are usually just false rumors.
Ok. Can someone tell me who this clown is? (Meaning Lucy01). All I have seen on all accounts is that he/she is wrong and needing attention. Unless I hear differently, he/she is blocked. I don’t have time for nonsense.
Robert Vaden. And I wish he had stayed his final two seasons in Bloomington. Him and EJ on the wings would have been potent.
If he doesn't deny these rumors soon on social media, there must be some truth to them. There's no way he doesn't know that these rumors exist with social media being what it is now.
Vaden verbally committed to Purdue as a high school freshman before he ever played a varsity game. Last May he changed his mind and picked Indiana.Feb 26, 2004
You don’t understand my madness! I wanted IU to win the B-10 tournament. I wanted the girls to win the NCAA . So when I post that they are not coming, the opposite always happens.
I’ve only been here about a year and even I know Lucy is a legend.. unfortunately the Lucy-Kurt battles have dried up for the moment. Get the popcorn when the drunk returns
Kinda like wanting Luke Brown to come here and......I get it
Boy you are sticking the 🔪 in.Kinda like wanting Luke Brown to come here and......I get it
