OTE based in Atlanta I believe.
I saw an article a few weeks back where Kanon said one of the biggest things he was focusing on was his body. The OTE website now has him listed at 6'9 and 212 lb. Looks like he has added a good amount of weight.
He is 2nd on his team in scoring, 4th overall. Shot 61/42/90 from 2/3/FT during the "preseason".
I believe the season starts Friday, Catching's Cold Hearts team plays at 830PM and then again Saturday at 2. Both games appear to be streaming on YouTube

I know it is probably beneficial to him, however, would have loved seeing him finish his Sr season in Indiana. Kids go to these prep schools now, a buddies kid just did this, left a good high school team to be a 6th man at Bosco institute.
I have watched 3 of his games on YouTube. All blowouts he is just too mobile for kids his size to stay with him. If they try putting a 6'2" guy on him he just post them up. His per 40 minute is 27 points and 9 boards shooting 43% from 3. I am excited to see him in Old Gold and Black. I have said for two years now he is the best recruit in the Painter ERA. I am not devaluing Zach but he developed into a great player. He plays around half of the game every player on his team is a D1 recruit. Fans watch high lights and think he is just a scorer he is far from it. He has a complete game and is a top tier defender. Hell lets just say he is the complete package.
This was on "X" but I couldn't see when the measurements were taken:
Purdue commit Kanon Catchings measured 6'8.5” with a 6'11.5” wing span and 8'10.5” standing reach. Katchings also measured a 35.5” vertical.

is it all about hoops for everyone? Are some 'prep' schools truly THAT? Preparing you for college?
Some kids (me) would probably benefit if it had been a real option. i was smart enough to not need to study much in hs and never learned good study habits. Struggled every year after. A year of forced study tables prior to PU would have done me and my grades a world of good. Parents that are paying attention must see the same things and certainly we are all going to be wrong in our judgments sometimes.... (disclaimer)
I don’t know if this has been mentioned before but while doing a little research on OTE I found an interesting fact. Players can opt for a minimum $100k salary or an organizational scholarship for eventual college tuition. This has me wondering if he uses his scholarship for tuition and therefore doesn’t take up a scholarship. That would solve the oversign and I’m sure he’ll be getting some NIL.

We know he can’t take the salary and retain his eligibility. I’m not saying he will pass on an athletic scholarship but he will already have the OTE scholarship
Saw him as 31st in one projected draft. Too early to me to know. Some certainly think so though.
I would say yes but if he’s projected at 31 and that stays true all year, I’d assume he’d be back for one more year….which I’d be ok with 😂
8'11 standing reach is a NBA PF sized reach. Wow, very nice for a wing in the NBA much less college not freshman yet.
