Lymon's Head coach would be suprised if he didn't go to Purdue
Quote:
Lymon might be the most sought-after of the bunch. One of the best receivers in the state, Lymon has narrowed his candidates down to the Big Ten, with Purdue appearing to be the slight favorite.
“He’s a Big Ten guy, he’s going to stay in the Big Ten,” Harding coach Sherwood Haydock said during the SAC Football Media Day at South Side on Wednesday. “Quite frankly, I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t go to Purdue. I’ll be real surprised. What happened when Joe Tiller showed up the very first day (of recruiting) he could, that’s made a world of difference.”
After catching 47 passes for 1,134 yards and 13 touchdowns in his first season at Harding, Lymon appears to be just what the pass-happy Purdue offense would want. Rivals.com recruiting service lists Lymon as the eighth-best receiving prospect in the country.
But Haydock said recruiters are trying to turn around the numbers to sway Lymon away from the Boilermakers.
“The other schools remind me that Purdue was one of the leading rushers in the league last year, and they didn’t throw the ball that much,” Haydock said. “They’re all trying to pull that, well, we throw the ball, too.”
Lymon said the decision will probably come at the end of the season.
“I was looking more into Big Ten, but I’m still willing to go anywhere else,” Lymon said. “I just want to focus on the season and then right after the season, I’ll look into it more and hit it hard.”

Lymon is being recruited by Penn State and recieves letters from them every day. He says he currently does not have a leader and location is not a factor. Apparently Lymon will wait until signing day to announce his decision.

Rivals Premium on Lymon
Pretty nice update on Lymon. He mentions his favorites are Ohio State(mentioned first), Purdue and scUM. A couple reasons Lymon likes the Buckeyes are the fact they beat Miami for the Championship in 2002 and the fact they sent 14 players to the NFL last year. He's certain he will visit Columbus before he makes a final decision.

Purdue has never won a national title in football--hell, they have only one conference title in 36 years--and only rarely gets players drafted in the first couple rounds. Michigan has 1/2 national title in 56 years and has less players drafted than us. If national titles and players drafted are important to him, then the choice is clear.
