Georgia forward Kanon Catchings staying in Athens
Georgia got another retention win on Tuesday. Forward Kanon Catchings will play his junior season for Georgia.
The 6-foot-9 forward transferred to Georgia ahead of last season. Catchings spent his freshman season at BYU before making his way to Athens. Catchings averaged 11.6 points per game after starting 32 games this season.
Catchings’ biggest scoring output came against Alabama back on March 3. He put in 32 points to help the Bulldogs defeat the No. 16-ranked Crimson Tide that night.
“He had just a high level of confidence,” head coach Mike White said after that game. “His body language exuded confidence. He wasn’t second-guessing himself. He didn’t have any of those delayed decisions. That ball touched his hands, and he was open. He just let it fly, whether the last one went in or not.”
