Kanon Catchings
- Thread starter Victorbmyboy
- Start date
Not better than Izzo, and he had to wait for Ryan, Beilein, and Matta to leave. It took Painter 20 years what it took Mike Davis and Bruce Weber accomplish in like 2 years. Jesus, imagine if IU supported Tom Crean like Painter. Painter literally s*** the bed every year until last year.
With kanon it was not about money it was playing time he was not going to be the man at purdue purdue is loaded even without edey
Tell me you didn't read the article.
There's zero percent chance he made a million last year when he couldn't get deals inside the US.
Edey wasn't happy with the amount he was making last year, but there was nothing he could do about it.

So to confirm, you have no idea how much Purdues collective has and no idea how much they pay players? Seems like you are just saying that on a whim.
I don’t need to. He made between 1 and 2 mil. Why do you think they did stuff in Canada? Hint: it was to help Edey with NIL. That whole weekend was about NIL for Zach.Tell me you didn't read the article.

Legitimate links to back up all of your claims here.
Hell, start by backing up just one of your claims here and we can go from there.
Link that he made 1-2 million, and not just some rumor.
I'm posting links where it says he can't and doesn't make what American born players are making. Here's another one.
Purdue’s Edey Fills The Stat Sheet, But NIL Is Out Of His Reach
Purdue big man Zach Edey and North Carolina State counterpart DJ Burns led their teams to the Final Four, but only Burns is able to tap into the lucrative NIL market.

Edey made about $1M, there are articles.
He probably could have made more, but he is an odd dude and PU was a fit.

Nope. I’ve the approaching ten mil number came from a source, a good source, that spoke about it publicly. Plenty of people have also talked about how much Edey made. A few believe he made nothing.
This says nothing about how little or how much Edey made. He made NIL off jersey sales and the Toronto game. I’m sure other ways as well.Link that he made 1-2 million, and not just some rumor.

They literally say he doesn't have the potential to make what American born players make. Hell, he says it himself.
He's not making a million off jersey sales and a weekend in Toronto.
But he did. Purdue set up so much stuff for that weekend. Purdue reporters and others have said he made between 1 and 2 million. Believe he didn’t if you want. Also believe Purdue spends a mil in NIL between football and basketball if you want.
Sleepers guys are talking about it. So my whim came from them. It tracks but it’s not proven. That’s why I put the ? Mark in there. So? Do we know what other programs exactly spend? Do we know the exact war chest numbers? No but we can get an overall picture. The picture is that it’s likely Purdue doesn’t play ball because of lower funds. That is probable.
I thought “we” didn’t know? If you expect others to believe that then why not believe the Catchings NIL stuff?
If this has been reported by others, why haven't you supplied a link to even one report on it because if he was pulling in that kind of money, Purdue would be pumping that out for pub that kids can make that kind of money at Purdue.
I don't think this is anyone's business but the players. I would not be happy with the university releasing that information concerning me.
What is lower funds? Less than 15 mil? Then I’d agree. Less than 7 mil, not sure I do.
Because you cannot read Neubert article discussing it. Why does Purdue need to pump out pub? Coaches can have that conversation in the recruiting process. Tweeting it out does nothing.
Because it’s been reported it had to do with playing time. Which makes sense because he wasn’t going to start.
There's as much chance he would have started as there is he wouldn't have. Claiming anything else with certainty is pure foolishness..
It's been reported? No it's rumored ... rumors are not facts ..
Rule #1 for throwing receipts in the face of someone asking for one:
Assume that they might just check the link out
Rule #2
Check the receipt in advance to be sure it doesen't blow up in your face.
You clearly didn't do that and...as normal process would have it with you...this one blew up in your face Gilligan.
This Neff guy who is the CEO of the Mighty Boilimaker Alliance (MBA) did not back up your claim that the MBA is "approaching $10MM". In fact...well...wow
- MBA has just added two staff members (total three) while big Power 4 collectives (like IU's 3) average 6-8 employees.
- MBA has just 400 members and this is after the historic super awesome FF run.
- Neff stated that MBA has "a lot of work to to" needs to "eponentially grow membership and donors" if they ever want to "approach being an 8 figure collective"
So...Gilligan, which claim to you want to "back up" next????
Catchings went from the 2nd highest recruit Painter ever landed to incompetent to fill water bottles pretty quickly.
I agree but purdue will be fine next year they have a 7 foot 3 center coming in and big dog son is coming in so they will complete for the big ten championship
Speaking of coaches having conversations during the recruiting process....
Sure seems like the conversations with Catchings maybe weren't quite candid enough? Whether it was role, or money, or both. Seems as though things should have been made clear in all this time since the 2022 verbal.
Are you kurt’s drinking buddy?
I don't think any school is releasing #s, but that doesn't mean a lot of people aren't curious, snooping and asking questions.
I don’t believe so no. He had a lot of things to work on still
He said “as we approach potentially being an 8 figure collective”. Which makes sense with the numbers Walter’s is rumored to have had access to in order to build his team.

His role was likely discussed. And it likely sounded like this “if you come in and work hard and earn your time, you will play. If you are one of the best 5, you will start. If you aren’t good enough, you won’t play. I’m not promising you anything.” That’s what painter says to every recruit about playing time.
You don't know at all what the discussions were b/t Matt and Kanon over the past few years. We get it, you like Painter, so you made up some fan fiction where Matt handled things perfectly.
Listen i want that purdue and iu both good and its going to happen this year but purdue is better then iu why because of depth
I saw where IU has the highest total returning ppg of any team in the country. You guys may wind up being deeper, but a good bit of that are projections. IU's players have shown they can play at this level. IU's challenge will be developing chemistry and rotations, but IU has more proven college players this year than PU. Think I saw where IU had like 88ppg from returning players/transfers. I don't know what PU's would be, but probably in the range of 40ppg (Smith 15, Loyer 12, TKR 8, bench 5).
