Thursday, Purdue revealed that four-star forward Kanon Catchings requested to be released from his scholarship. He was the No. 38 prospect in the 2024 recruiting class. It's a big blow for the Boilermakers, but Matt Painter's team will be just fine.
There’s not a currency specific to West Lafayette, Ind., but if there were, that slogan would be minted on the coins. And it’s a motto Purdue fans should keep in mind after Thursday’s news that four-star forwardPurdue released a statement Thursday announcing that Catchings had been granted his release. Very little details were provided in the update.
At the 11th hour, though, Catchings ultimately decided Purdue wasn’t where he fit. We could speculate on his decision to request a release from his scholarship, but that seems unfair to all parties involved. Then there’s the incoming class — which is still pretty damn good even with Catchings’ departure. After the four-star forward was released from his scholarship, Purdue’s 2024 class dropped from No. 11 in 247Sports’ Composite Rankings to No. 16 nationally.
