who work hard and want to be at BYU. Not saying he didn't do either, just stating that if he decides to leave I am fine with that as I will move on to the next player (like Mag or others) who come in and work their butts off to make BYU better.

I hope he sticks around, wants to get better, and works hard.

One thing I don't understand about Catchings' season is he had a perfect shooting night against Baylor. He had been

Part of that was about missing defensive assignments.

It really does seem like the staff soured on him. Maybe his attitude changed,

Poor defense and attitude will do that…

I think a lot has to do with mental toughness and how a guy handles his time.

Kanon left Purdue because they wouldn't guarantee a starting position for him.

Great post and likely correct. I always think of Steve Young's story

And the team started winning when Mag hit the starting lineup. He was a huge key to our run this year

That’s because Mag is older and much better

The biggest difference was defensive intensity. And Mag was serviceable offensively

Defensive intensity and understanding.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him join a team closer to home. Not sure if Matt Painter would take him back at Purdue

Here’s a school that is rebuilding (understatement) where he could get a fresh start and likely start.

Yeah, for all the talk about other factors in portal world....it still seems like being closer to home

Catchings could use a conversation from a guy like KVN or Jamal Williams

TADOW

He rode the bench in high school as a freshman when he expected to be a key guy. So he's been through this before.

Catchings was learning the game the same way Richie and Dallin did as

At this point I just trust KY and staff with the roster.

His expectation of being a one & done, then high NBA draft pick was a bit...
