Hoopgurlz 5-star 44th ranked recruit from 2015 Lamina Cooper will be joining the team for the 2016-17 season after a one year layoff.
Purdue had a lot of excitement over the 2015 recruiting class with 3 top 50 recruits. It was ranked as the #7 recruiting class in the country by Hoopgurlz. However, Lamina Cooper did not enroll at Purdue in the Fall and did not play the 2015-16 season, due to undisclosed reasons. This was a big disappointment. Perhaps part of it was a serious injury late in her senior year of high school. But that is just speculation on my part, and we have to respect her privacy on this issue.
