Can't believe anyone could think that was legitimate. It's an unverified account with the name "IU Fan" whose source is a "local college coach." lmao I'm starting to think there was no meeting at all. Like I said before, damage control on Purdue's part to get their online fans to settle down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying nothing is pretty standard. Something happened and it wasn’t in Purdues best interest. I’m not saying he doesn’t end up at Purdue.

I feel like if they had, some insider would have at least acknowledged it. It's far too quiet. Maybe the Catchings family didn't want it discussed anywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know if the pic of him wearing the IU gear is old, photoshopped, recent and real, don’t know. Just passing along. Maybe others have more info about it. 4 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This just seems like some trolling. The account that took this picture claims to be Catching's agent. Not sure an agent would do that to his client. A lot of shadiness around this. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, the "agent" looks like he is in high school and he has two other IG pics -- one a joke about video games and one of him on a big slide. Also, the story with the pic now says the material is no longer available -- and it's not because the 24 hour period lapsed. Don't know what will happen with KC, but some dudes are having fun playing with the fan bases. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initial79 Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 Here is the thing. For all the Purdue and IU guys saying this is a troll job etc Unless the kid himself is trolling - something doenst add up - why take your commitment off your bio? - why add IU pic back and no other visit pic? - why following Adam Howard last week the same hour you take your commitment off your bio? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasteland… ok got it. Had a feeling this board skews much older and don’t quite get it. Not the first comment since joining here that has lead me to believe that with the “I’m too good for that social media stuff” All good. Will stick to my wasteland (fyi, my job involves being on current social media) The funniest part for me is all of you thinking message boards are not social media and you haven’t been doing the same for 20 years. You create accounts, anyone can join, argue, over react, look for rumors or that next in the know person to make your day, rarely know the real person behind the account, etc. message board were the first social media of the internet. all good, I’m out 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I joined a place that has civil conversations and monitors profanity and inappropriate comments. I’m not that old. I’m between generations. I’m only 44. But I deleted Facebook and stay off Twitter and Instagram etc because it’s full of filth and the messaging is so negative all the time it just keeps getting pushed into your feed. I used to work in a place that wanted to push connecting through social media and wanted us to make posts and make connections with LinkedIn etc but thank God I’m now working for an organization that builds relationships the old fashioned way…face to face and through meaningful relationships. I very much enjoy it and surprisingly while most may think our clients would all be older we see many very successful younger people also prefer this. I fully understand the benefits but for a lot of us…we just prefer not have to sift through all the negativity and garbage to get it. So in saying that…I’m genuinely saying thank you for doing that for me!! Edited April 19, 2023 by dgambill 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
