A New Era for BYU Basketball: Kanon Catchings to Visit Campus
As the college basketball world continues to evolve, one thing is certain - the BYU Cougars are on the hunt for top talent. And what better way to do that than by courting one of the nation’s top prospects, Kanon Catchings? According to reports, the four-star wing is set to visit the BYU campus, and we couldn’t be more excited.
Top 40 recruit Kanon Catchings is set to visit BYU
Catchings, who initially signed with Purdue before requesting a release from his National Letter of Intent, is one of the most sought-after prospects in the 2024 recruiting class. And with his connection to new assistant coach Tim Fanning, who coached Catchings at Overtime Elite, the Cougars might just have an inside track to landing this talented youngster.

As a native of Atlanta, Georgia, Catchings was ranked the third-best prospect in the state and a top 10 player nationally at his position. His unique combination of size and skill would allow him to play a variety of positions at the college level, making him an attractive addition to the Cougars’ roster.
The BYU Cougars are looking to bolster their roster with top talent
With only two scholarships remaining on the 2024-2025 roster, Catchings would be a fantastic fit for the Cougars. He would bring a level of competition to the team, and his development could lead to significant contributions down the line. Plus, his length, alongside projected lottery pick Egor Demin, would give new coach Kevin Young a lot of length in the backcourt.
Catchings is also set to visit Florida State and is considering a visit to Tennessee, but we’re hoping the Cougars can make a strong impression on this talented young player.
The college basketball landscape is always evolving
As the college basketball world continues to shift and evolve, one thing is certain - the BYU Cougars are on the rise. And with top prospects like Kanon Catchings considering the program, the future is looking bright for this talented young team.
