Haven't seen it here, but Purdue boards are reporting that LWH is rumored to have torn her ACL in the U21 semis.
Bad, bad news.

| If its true and she gets to redshirt...will she return for another year of eligability? Let the speculation begin.

Why wouldn't she? She needs to play a year out of Lawless and Gearlds shadow to show that she is more then a support player. Now she also needs to show she is healthy. The WNBA is just walking around money, the real money is overseas, and she needs to establish herself a little better to get paid better over there.

The key word here is rumored - they're noting the similarity to Natasha's injury last summer. There aren't any facts attached to the speculation.

| Even if it is a torn ACL, couldn't she be back in time for most of the season?

Most ACL tears are at least a 6 month rehabilitation and in most cases, you are about a year before you are back to playing the way you did before the injury. LWH would hit 6 months in January, right at the start of the B10 schedule, if she has her surgery right now. I would rather have her sit out a year and come back better in the 2008-2009 season. She would probably be a top 10 pick in the 2009 WNBA draft, if not a top 5 pick.

If it is indeed true (ACL), I would bet that she will return...but not to prove that she is more than a support player. She might have been drafted ahead of Gearlds if she had not still had eligibility.

| Speaking of Purdue, won't Natasha Bogdanova (sp?) be back this year?

Yes, she will be. To draw a further possible parallel, Natasha injured her knee in the semi-finals and had to sit out the gold medal game at the University games last year, came back to the US and the sprain turned into an ACL tear, had surgery, rehabbed, but was not able to be able to go by January which was Versyp's deadline for redshirt or play. I expect if LWH does have an ACL tear, that we will see the same schedule, if she cannot go 100% by January, she will redshirt and finish the rehab.

This sucks!
I just saw the story on IndyStar dot com:

"I just came down off of a rebound and there was a girl next to me," Wisdom-Hylton said Tuesday during a news conference. "She bumped me a little bit, and my leg gave out. If you look at it, anybody could have done the same move and not tore the ACL. That's kind of how it happens."
Wisdom-Hylton, who would have been a senior, plans to return for the 2008-2009 season |

That sucks so much for a rising senior. My best wishes to her on her rehab. I hope she is able to fully recover for next season. WCBB needs all the stars and she was going to be one of the best this season.
The only "positive" is that it happened at a time to allow the team to prepare for her absence and for her to utilize the full redshirt. An injury in January could have much greater effects on a team and a player's draft status.
