Purdue recruit Kanon Catchings heading to Overtime Elite
In a first for Purdue recruiting but a sign of modern times, Boilermaker commitment Kanon Catchings has announced he’ll leave Brownsburg High School and join Overtime Elite, the sub-pro developmental program based out of Atlanta.
OTE, which just produced lottery picks Amen and Ausar Thompson, does pay its players, but its initial format was changed some time ago to allow players to retain college eligibility, so the move by Catchings wouldn’t affect his standing with Purdue.
Catchings departs the Indiana high school basketball ranks as one of its top seniors-to-be. He’d have been a Mr. Basketball front-runner.
