Tom Campbell
A.J. Hammons'
decision to return
to Purdue for his
senior season
wasn't a slam
dunk, but it does
makes sense. The
rising senior will
return with the
opportunity to
become one of
the greatest rim
protectors the Big
Ten has ever seen.
He can become
just the second
player in Big Ten
history to lead the
league in blocks
four straight
years (Calvin
Booth, Penn State
1996-99). He
also needs just
91 blocks to pass
Joe Barry Carroll
(1977-80) as the
Boilermakers'
all-time leader in
blocked shots.
