Catchings/NIL
- Thread starter New Pal Boiler
- Start date
Here is what I found. NIL for HS players is different state by state. Indiana doesn't allow it now but it is being considered:
Status: Under Membership Considerations
Governance: 2021-22 By-Laws & Articles of Incorporation
Applicable Language: Rule 5, Rule 6
Notes: The current regulations prohibit student-athletes from monetizing their NIL. Rule 5 on amateurism states a student-athlete loses their amateur status if they have, “capitalized on athletic fame by receiving money or gifts of a monetary nature”. However, a recent Executive Committee report shows the IHSAA is actively researching the topic.
Yeah that would be a big deal to some kids, and not to others, not so much, depending on how big the NIL deal is.
Well if you wanna go play in college you e gotta graduate high school first…
Watching these highlights… wow….hoping that Purdue makes it clear to Catchings that Edey’s “cap space” is his in 2024…
Rumors on twitter of a decommit.
Did CMP see those mid-range jumpers and tell him they were low percentage shots?
I kid, I kid.
No idea.
Purdue basketball could be at a crossroads. We’ve already lost one commit to NIL (DGL).
If the AD doesn’t figure this NIL stuff out, and we end up the Pittsburgh Pirates of college basketball, I will find other ways to occupy my time.
All his recent tweets still have “Purdue commit” in it. the most recent of which was from yesterday (April 10) not sure why he is re tweeting things about his ourdue commitment if he gonna decommit but okay wait and see I guess.
He had an IU offer, would be weird that he picked Purdue if he “really wanted IU” at all anyway.
Edit: okay twitter rumor says he wants to re classify / graduate early and we don’t have a spot so he might decommit (or did already). If so we will know shortly.

Okay, I looked there too already. Post the link you want seen, I don’t see anything on his Instagram that Says he decommits from Purdue
No such thing.
But, he dropped Purdue commit from his Insta profile, de-archived his IU visit on Insta, and started following Adam Howard who tweeted as if something notable is about to happen.

So if he reclassified to 23, PU does have another scholarship open this year………right?
Which one of the 27 tweets that Adam howard posted or retweeted in the last two days are you referring to ?
With the following and unfollowing presumably he would “unfollow” boilerball on Instagram and twitter but still has those as following 🤷🏽 I guess we just wait for him to say something since there’s enough rumors on twitter now that he will indeed probably have to say something even if it’s not the case

The one that occurred immediately after Kanon Catchings removed Purdue commit from his profile and started following Howard. I’m not going to post it on a Purdue board.
You’re already posting on the Purdue board, go ahead and help us old timers out. Not a soul here (other than you) knows when he ‘removed’ whatever you say was removed from whatever profile.
Thanks. Don’t see how that implies a decommit from Purdue to IU, I suppose I’ll wait to see something with words from the young man rather than look here. Cheers.
Not surprised if he de-commits w/Coach Dolt at the helm…he will never live down losing to a #16 seed.
Nobody said decommited from PU to go to IU. Just that he posted the IU add on his page
Actually, the whole idea that kids commit so early in HS is rather absurd. Then again, it fits right in with whole absurd process. Shame.
Maybe here classified to play with Edey, on a national championship team. Something not available at IU.
I'm a bit late to the party - it appears as though Catchings may or be decommitting? The closest thing to a concrete statement I saw was a veiled (albeit thinly) statement that "nothing official has happened ...but things are happening" kind of post. Great. I'm sure he'll somehow end up at IU just to twist the knife some more. 
You have to get out of the first round first before throwing that out. Why even go there? This post had zero to do with that.
Any commitment prior to a guys senior year has to come with an asterisk now days. As a guys NIL value goes up and down, so do his options.
It's also hard for guys to anticipate who will be on the roster when they arrive because of all the movement. Duke just lost a recruit for 2023 because he plays the same position as a potential first round draft choice who decided to "stay in school".

If it ends up being true, this one would hurt, because he brings athleticism and explosiveness to the rim. This is something our team needs right now.
Getting swept by IU and then pulling the biggest choke job in NCAA tournament history was going to hurt recruiting. I was just hoping it wouldn’t be with current commits. I still hope that but it’s not looking promising.
Painter and this admin seem like the management team at Blockbuster - keep doubling down on an idea that is going out of style fast.
I'm not going to call out this admin...yet. Grimes has experience with this at a high level.
Someone threw a bag at him, let's see if we have the cajones to do the same.
If we can keep him, I think that will actually help the Alliance with more donations. People who pay as much attention to Purdue sports as we do are wary of what the money is actually going to. Seeing the Alliance help retain a 5* recruit is going to help assuage those fears.
