Kanon Catchings to prep school :)

 

Overtime Elite. $100k minimally and play with other potential future pros. Hate that the state is losing a really good kid from a high school perspective....but I get the business side of things. 

But speaking of business couldn't a kid in this state start building up his brand/followers,etc....for NIL deals and dwarf the Overtime Elite $ as a freshman? I'd think so.

So did he give up his college eligibility or can he still play college

Gotta admit….when I first saw the limited clips of Bentner I wasn’t impressed 

But you were sold & so was MP….

 

I've known him since he was 3. His dad was my HS coach.. its more than just I think "Jack is good". I'm bias. Won't deny that, won't apologize either. 

I will say... you'd better get a hand up on the kid. He can flat out shoot it.

Also.. and idc if some don't like this or understand... 

When Jack is in college, Purdue will be undoubtedly my "2nd favorite team".. and I will watch a good number of their games.

I went through the same thing with Jerry Sichting...

Sichting would have walked to Bloomington, but RMK never offered... A decision he later said he regretted...

We all played against the alums & old guys in open gyms…..

guessing coach was lighting it up 

6'8 PG? Yeah, he kicked out asses in practice. He also "hit" me with a dodge in the middle of my sweaty back in HS, I was a FR, thought I was going to cry 🤣🤣🤣

Like the old rubber dodgeballs that actually hurt. 6'8 dude just CHUCKING one at 5'7 FR me. 🤣.. "you gon' learn today"

Coach Benter was the gym teacher and would play games against us.

I guess I am different because I wouldn't care if my best friend went to Purdue I would still root against that friend.

When I watch Purdue, I root for TKR to play well.  That said, I always hope Purdue loses.

Depends on Jack's level of play on the team. 

If he's a starter/star.. I'm rooting for them to win.. if he is more of a bench guy, or for some reason doesn't play much.. I won't root for them to win.
