looks like it could shape up to be a scUM/PU battle

Harding junior Selwyn Lymon already is being courted by some of the top college football programs in the Midwest. He has received scholarship offers from Purdue, Wisconsin and most recently Michigan, the defending Big Ten champions.
Lymon caught 47 passes for 1,143 yards and 13 touchdowns as he helped lead the Hawks to the Class 2A state championship game last season. The 6-foot-4, 190-pounder averaged 24.3 yards per reception. Lymon also plays basketball and runs track. He placed sixth in the 400-meter dash and third in the long jump at last season's state finals meet.
"(My decision where to commit) is still up in the air," said Lymon, who said he likely will not make a decision until his senior football season. "When I was growing up, I liked Michigan because I was a Charles Woodson fan. But I like Purdue coach Joe Tiller. He came to my school the first day he could recruit (last December). He came to visit me, and I'm only a junior. I thought he would be out still trying to recruit seniors for (the 2004 class), so that made quite an impression on me. I liked that a lot."
Lymon's cousin Bernard Pollard, a South Side graduate, started for the Boilermakers at strong safety as a true freshman last season. He was named first-team freshman All-America by College Football News.com and second-team, freshman All-America by The Sporting News. Lymon said that Pollard has called him and spoke glowingly about Purdue and coach Tiller.
