For all intents and purposes Caleb Swanigan will be the next individual Purdue player honored with a banner in Mackey Arena. It is an honor normally reserved for First Team All-Americans, but E’Twaun Moore (I think because he scored 2,000 career points) and Robbie Hummel (won the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award) got theirs for other reasons.
Swanigan will get his for a number of reasons. He is in the running for National Player of the Year. He is very likely a First Team All-American. He should be the Big Ten Player of the year too.
