Even good ones get it wrong sometimes (see Rabjohns re TKR). Everybody (but Purdue fans apparently) knew he was a flight risk. That's not what I'm talking about though. I'm talking about the BS character assassination that Neubert laid on the kid minutes after he de-committed and the BS narrative that he drummed up about Catching demanding playing time or else he was leaving. I literally told you almost two weeks ago that BYU's new assistant coach (Catchings old HS coach) was in his ear for weeks leading up to be to being officially announced as an assistant coach in Provo about joining him there and that it was going to happen. And you, along with Neubert, kept saying there's no way he ends up at BYU. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to BYU over Purdue has to suck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think they’re comparable. McNeely didn’t bail right before showing up to campus and went to the back-to-back national champions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting assuming we get to play them in San Diego later this year. Please tell me you aren't basing this off Blaire Westall's tweet, the guy who changed his twitter handle to homeowner after buying a 1500 sq foot house in Lafayette and calls anybody who disagrees with him autistic?

Liam went to UConn, which i think is a bit higher of a landing spot than BYU. Even with the late change of heart, I'm sure Indiana wasn't the only bigger school with an open scholarship. Catchings either had an issue that scared off schools or he just wants to be a big fish in a smaller pond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Brian has gone from "He made at list of demands that ensured playing time and a guaranteed role or else he was quitting" on the day of his de-commitment to now "Purdue got sick of him getting cold feet and released him" as of today, all within a matter of a week? No wonder why Purdue doesn't have a journalism school. Edited June 18 by IndyResident16 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can’t they be both be true? When he asked out of his NLI, they didn’t fight to keep him. I doubt they said “don’t come back, we’re done with you,” but when he reached back out to come back, I’m guessing it was a quick discussion where they told him thanks but no thanks.

I just think it's funny that the Purdue people care what everyone else thinks, by contorting a story about 67 times in the last 6 months to push all the blame on an 18 yo kid and try to act like Purdue is squeaky clean. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asked out of his NLI? LOL you literally just quoted Brian who said Purdue released him from his NLI. Either Catching asked for his release because Painter didn't guarantee playing time (Neubert's first narrative) or Purdue released Catching because they got sick of him getting cold feet (the current narrative). This is exactly what I'm talking about, pick a narrative and stick with it. You literally just contradicted yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
