Haven’t seen them, but he was one of the few athletes Brownsburg had against Ben Davis in that semistate championship at NC. The ‘burg actually led at halftime,  but BD pulled away in the 2nd half when Catchings was benched for his attitude.

btw - here is the link from the Purdue board talking about the decommit rumors:

One poster said maybe he "classified" to play with Edey for a championship.  Should we tell them you have to get past the first round?

An outstanding Hoosier Hysterics podcast with Coach Ya is now online. Of course, he cannot talk about specific portal recruits. However...

Some interesting first best quotes takeaways from Ya:

1. On IU portal recruiting: "This portal has been a lot. But, we got something to smile about today, and hopefully in the next couple of days and in about a week or so we'll have some more to smile about."
2. On choosing who to recruit from the portal with NIL: "There are guys in the portal that are just looking for money. They're just straight looking for money. They don't care about winning...That can't be the primary reason you're coming to Indiana. At the end of the day, like everybody else here you're trying to hang a banner. You've gotta have the right type of people here to hang a banner."
3. On the current portal structure: "Again, it's a necessary evil. You can either complain about it and lose, or hey; it is what it is and try to go get you some players and figure out how to construct your roster."
4. On the coaching fraternity's internal discussions: "Most coaches are walking on eggshells because they have no idea what is going to happen to their roster. None of them. And the mid-major coaches especially. They're just, they're terrified."
5. On Malik Reneau: "Obviously, Malik, he told us early; coming back."

To your first quote, my uneducated guess is the good news that day was Ware, the second would possibly be Ledlum?

IF IU really got Kanon Catchings, this has to be the whole "Mike Woodson isn't messing around" is about..

It had nothing to do with Catchings. It was about IU’s pursuit of Ware, Ledlum, and Knecht. That’s not a guess either.

Those 3 came to mind when I read the tweet.  Now if the other 2 would pay off we'd have a homerun portal.

Sounds like Knecht may be flying west with the rest of the Ducks

Don't know why but that last quote put a smile on my face. Humility and loyalty from MR. I mean obviously it helps when you see yourself being a major contributor on next year's team but still.

I kind of feel for the coaches but then I think that they're earning hundreds of thousands of dollars or, more, likely, millions of dollars to do their job. Then my response becomes, "Boo-freakin'-hoo. Suck it up and earn your money."

We all make mistakes. How on god's green earth could you play on that court? lol it looks like a YMCA court or an outdoor park or a 2K court. I can't take it seriously.

Yes and no.  NBA teams have entire player personnel staffs to evaluate players and work free agency.  Plus a GM to run things.  "Free agency" hit college basketball without the necessary support structures.

Yea I don't actually see Catchings decommiting, reclassifying and committing to IU. Would be cool, and I think he could start at the 3 day 1, but it ain't happening y'all. Focus on Ledlum and Knecht.

I mean... do you have info? Or can you just admit you're guessing? 

What do you mean, "it ain't happening y'all" what isn't? But no, I don't see Kanon being any sort of a contributor Day 1, if he were to reclass.

Sucks as he was my "#1 guy" in the portal but on to more options.
