I use my brain, rather than saying what everyone else has already said. duh ! it's easy just to echo what the majority here say. it takes intelligence and a brain to think of other possibilities.
one rumor several months ago was catchings was thinking about playing in a developmental league instead of going to college. then his parents squashed that rumor.
Look at Catchings. he's not a 4. he's a 3 in the NBA. and that's where he wants to be rather than doing an engineering internship.
Look at jacobson's recent performance. he's ready to play at center. if Jacobson's ready to play at center, TKR isn't going to be his back-up. Furst is.
and look at the 3 position at Purdue. when was the last time Painter used a true forward to play the 3 at Purdue.
it's rather clear if Catchings wants to play in the NBA, and really isn't that interested in obtaining a college degree, what course he would pursue.
I've said multiple times, Catchings isn't going to be a one and done if he plays the 4 at Purdue because there wouldn't be enough minutes for him to show case his tlents.
Catchings picked a very odd time to decommit. Before doing so, he talked to Painter on the phone. after that conversation, he decommitted. It's logical to assume that conversation was not about Bruno's pizza.
I'm sorry, I'm not a Purdue engineer. Rather than an in the box thinker, I'm an out of the box thinker. and I'm usually way out in space, but usually 95% right. I examine different pieces of data and draw conclusions. I'm sorry my conclusions are different than yours.
if you don't like my conclusion, do you have one of your own ? I'd sure like to read it, unless it's the same stuff 100 people before you already posted.
I guess you don't like and appreciate the viewpoints of people who are different than you. there is a word to describe that. it's called being narrow mined. Harry chapin wrote a song about that. it's called Flowers are red.
