Kanon Catchings, the nephew of Hall of Famer Tamika Catchings and a projected 2025 first-round pick, has committed to BYU.
"My family and I met with Coach Young and the coaching staff last week and we immediately clicked," Catchings told ESPN."I knew right away this was the best fit for me."
He is the nephew of Naismith Hall of Famer Tamika Catchings, who was named WNBA MVP and a 10-time All-Star in a decorated career with the Indiana Fever that also included four Olympic gold medals. Kanon Catchings averaged 17.5 points and 4.8 rebounds as a junior at Brownsburg High School in Indiana before spending his senior season with Overtime Elite. Catchings is the second projected one-and-done first-round pick incoming head coach Kevin Young has reeled in, along with Russian wing and Real Madrid player Egor Demin. Young left an associate head-coaching position with the Phoenix Suns to replace Mark Pope, who departed for Kentucky after John Calipari left for Arkansas.
BYU returned three starters from a team that made the NCAA tournament in its debut season in the Big 12 in, a former All-Big West player who missed nearly all of last season with a foot injury, are back as well.
