Former commit "going through it right now"

[HUD628]

Hadn't seen what Catchings has been up to lately, so took a quick peek. He started out playing lots of minutes and shooting lots of threes. Not a a particularly good percentage, but he was getting shots up. Now he has been replaced in the starting lineup by Mawot Mag of Rutgers fame. In the last 2 games, he has played just 7 and 9 minutes. in their last game, he got both a flagrant 1 and a tech. Reports that he is didn't even bother taking a shot during pregame shootaround. Just stood there doing nothing.

This dude had no shot here. Had he come, he'd be off the team by now.

So much talent.. and nothing between the ears... too bad. He clearly thinks he has too much sauce

We dodged one there...

Didn't realize he dropped out of the starting rotation. Doing some reading - coach said he needed more intensity and that is why he switched to Mag.

Hard for a freshman when they hit that wall which it looks like he hit. Got to find ways to stay engaged/active and make those little plays.

Well with Mag, I guess the coach wanted defense. Dude is a decent experienced college basketball player. BYU lucky to have him.

I see Gillis had a nice game for Duke, against Miami.
12 points on 3/4 from three.
Good for him. Unless we play Duke!!

He has the physical ability but obviously mentally still immature.

Good point. Didn’t he have some issues similar to this before he left Brownsburg? i don’t think OTE or whatever “league” he went to helped him iron those issues out.

Seemingly came from a good family and has the skills. Can’t let the pressure boil over and cause you to be a problem because you’ll earn more bench time.

If he can’t figure something out, with AJ Dybansta coming next year, he is really going to be fighting for playing time.
