I don’t know the X’s and O’s Of defense real well, but even I saw that Catchings

got burned on the same thing two games in a row. He needed to slide over and defend the basket and instead missed his assignment and it led to an opponent getting and easy layup (pretty much uncontested) in a half court offense. And KY has said before that Kanon has a short leash because of his defense.

Yeahhhh Kanon’s gone

Bummer. I liked him, had promise, but he has major weaknesses to his game.

He’s a Freshman.

He could get better here, but I think expectations didn’t meet reality for him.

Some guys are Top-50 guys as immediate-impact players, & some are that as pure

Not an excuse. Look at Demin's interviews. Night and day difference.

KayakCoug

Demin has a very different life experience and clearly a more outgoing

Schultz is back

Mar 28, 10:55am

I really hope he stays as well because that alone tells us the real story.

KayakCoug

The weaknesses we can get past. Egor was a freshman too and had weaknesses. Maybe Kannon's just a very subdued person...

Mentally, he entered the portal months ago.

Here’s the thing with Kanon. If he stays, great! Means he’s a fighter. If he

If only we could fire him, right?!

Except for in the case of guys that transfer to BYU. Now THOSE are fighters.

He gone

SageOwl

When are people gonna get over this mentality? Archaic and dumb

arcawley

Mar 28, 2:09am

Body language last few months has seemed to suggest he isn’t happy here.

RalphWiggam

Mar 27, 9:03pm

That’s tough. Not like he hasn’t been given opportunities. He goes in tonight

Idahoancoug91

Mar 27, 9:05pm

Should I be sad about this? Cause I’m kind of ready to move on.

Mar 27, 9:04pm

Exactly.

AZPTCOUG

Mar 27, 9:05pm

I didn’t say that he’s soft. Just that he seems disengaged.

Mar 27, 9:05pm

I did.

AZPTCOUG

Mar 27, 9:06pm

I will say it then. He is soft. Needs to toughen up wherever he goes.

He might be gone, but I wouldn't read too much after a tough loss.

How about after our win vs Wisconsin?

RGGeemer

Mar 27, 9:07pm

You mean when his mom stormed out of the arena? Yeah…bye!

OKchief

Mar 27, 10:21pm

What happened there?

Kolipoki

Mar 27, 10:22pm

She stormed out of the arena presumably because he didn’t play. She was pissed.

OKchief

Mar 27, 10:27pm

Yeah, between his interview and his aunt's post about putting in the bench,

Mar 27, 9:05pm

His enthusiasm for interviews matches his enthusiasm to play defense

BYUheaven

Too inconsistent to be on the floor. We all saw that once Mag took his place

How's that not a fair response? What was he supposed to say?

SinkingQuffa

Mar 27, 9:06pm

Maybe pick one of your favorite games? Wisconsin? His career night vs Baylor?

RGGeemer

Mar 27, 9:08pm

I'm with you. He is terrible in front of the camera, but that could just be his

Mar 27, 9:09pm

It's a tough loss. And he's had a tough stretch that was kinda unavoidable.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 27, 9:10pm

I get that. But he reacted the same way when Wisconsin missed their last shot

RGGeemer

“Being with this team and going to the Sweet 16 was awesome, so glad

"Baylor game was something I'll always remember because it went perfect for me and we got the win"

CLCougar

I love the kid. Hope he sticks it out and does something big for us next year.

squints

Mar 27, 9:06pm

I would like to agree with you and did until a few days ago. He's gone though.

Schultz is back

Mar 27, 9:09pm

Shocker…..

KevinsFamousChili

Mar 27, 9:07pm

Bad attitude. He thinks things should be given to him

temosabe

Mar 27, 9:08pm

That's really reading a lot into that. He's barely played all month.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 27, 9:14pm

Maybe I am, but he hasn’t shown much excitement in a sweet 16 run.

temosabe

Mar 27, 9:23pm

Yeah, I expect him to transfer. But I'm not seeing anything all that damnable

SinkingQuffa

Mar 27, 9:26pm

You know him personally? If not don’t throw those accusations around

arcawley

Mar 28, 2:10am

This is consistent with almost every answer he's ever given. Pretty emotionless

CLCougar

Mar 27, 9:13pm

Wish he’d stay but remember we got tons better when he went to the bench and mag

Don Carlton

Mar 27, 9:24pm

A lot of "I'm breaking up with you, you can't break up with me!" CBers here

MaximusMeridius

Mar 27, 9:43pm

“ You can’t quit you’re fired” - CB probably

Haysom Till

Mar 27, 9:49pm

It's funny...these self conscious CBers are personally offended if someone

MaximusMeridius

Mar 27, 10:24pm

I wish him well!

SageOwl

Mar 27, 10:55pm

Same. He's a kid, I won't fault him for doing what he feels is best for him

MaximusMeridius

Mar 27, 10:57pm

Wonder if Pope would take him. I think that could be a good match.

Cswilliam01

Mar 27, 10:26pm

He will transfer somewhere and do really well, then make the NBA.

indocoug

Mar 27, 10:49pm

Maybe. He’s got some work to do. Just don’t tell the Catchings that!

OKchief

Mar 27, 10:52pm

The talent is there, but that ain't happening if he doesn't improve his maturity, work ethic, desire, and

CLCougar

Mar 27, 10:53pm

I think it depends on his attitude - he has the talent, for sure. But if he goes

jaba166

Mar 27, 11:18pm

We'll see. NIL money can speak quite loudly and make someone want to stay.

Spiff

Mar 27, 10:51pm

Or in this case draw him away from his current school

Mar 27, 11:05pm

Not my money, but not sure that's a good investment. You can find talent on every corner.

Crazy Joe Davola

Mar 28, 6:20am

Great news! His response was code that he’s coming back. That it was his first year of college basketball means

hamaca

Mar 28, 5:46am

I'd be surprised if he doesn't end up at UNC

dukestirr

Mar 28, 6:26am

Negative Nellie's. Why even post stuff like this? What's next? Fire KY?

ImuaKahuku

Mar 28, 7:59am

I hope he stays. He's got a ton of upside.

RedSox

No way an expert, but seeing him in person, see ya and good luck.

Mar 28, 9:19am

He isn't that good, missed on the evaluation.
