Introducing...Lindsay Wisdom-Hylton

Last year, Lindsay Wisdom-Hylton was primed for a fantastic senior campaign. She had played on a Purdue squad in 2007 that had advanced far into the NCAA's and had rebounded from struggles. She also had a freshman year that no one say coming, including herself. Katie Gearlds, former Boilermaker and current member of the WNBA's Seattle Storm, said that "Lindsay, she's a stud. She's 6-foot-2, playing the perimeter. She can probably dunk it, but she doesn't try." However, that was cut short when Wisdom-Hylton tore her ACL playing for Team USA in the Under 21 World Championships. She then redshirted. Wisdom-Hylton has put the past behind her and is pumped to finish out her career the way she started it. And believe me, no one has forgotten about Wisdom-Hylton. Lisa Stone, head coach of Wisconsin, notes that "Watching (Lindsay) on the bench and knowing how much that helped her is frightening how good she can be, she was like a coach last year." Indeed, last year sitting out could help Purdue, as they are picked to finish first in the Big Ten. Still, Wisdom-Hylton and her fellow Boilermakers hope to surprise people. Mary Murphy, an analyst for the Big Ten Network, is quick to note that "WNBA coaches are just salivating over her (because) she can pass, she's unselfish, she has a great work ethic, she understands defense and she has a great grasp of the game (and) once she gets her confidence, I think she's going to explode on the national scene this year."

Wysdom-Hilton is amazing. I have her as #2 on my Draft List.  Her only drawback is that ACL injury you mentioned.
