Trey Burke
Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr. are named as standouts at the Lebron James Skills Academy
Nick Baumgardner did a write up on the Lebron James Skills Academy (Link Here), and noted that Burke and Hardaway Jr. were among the 6 standouts at the camp. Burke was noted as looking 'particularly outstanding', by Joe Kotoch of ProBasketballDraft.com, who chose Burke as his 'best slasher' and 'best midrange shooter'.
Trey Burke makes Myron Medcalf's "Avengers" Squad
Over at the college basketball watercooler blog on ESPN.com Myron Medcalf named his Avengers team for the 2012-2013 season. Which consists of Nerlens Noel, Cody Zeller, Doug McDermott, Peyton Siva, and Trey Burke. Basically this is a preseason All American team and I thought it was cool to see a Michigan player getting some publicity. When was the last time a Michigan Basketball player was a preseason All-American.
Trey Burke Twitter rumors [Good]
There have been two recent Tweets that hint that Burke may be returning:
Keith Langlois @Keith_Langlois FWIW. NBA personnel guy in Miami for #Pistons game says he believes Trey Burke is headed back to Michigan. Would go in 30s, he said
Suz @OhhSuzannah: @suckatsports report from church. The Burke family is telling members of our congregation that Trey's staying another year. We'll see!
Take it FWIW. Didn't see anything on the Board on the most recent "information". Hopefully these tea leaves are accurate!
MOD Edit: Moved to board. Commence HAPPY FREAK OUT! [zl]
WN: An Open Letter To Trey Burke
I did a site search to make sure this hasn't been posted, but I'm sure it could've been in the thread with 300+ posts.
Nonetheless, it makes some GREAT points to Burke and not everyone is going to sift through 300 posts to find the article if it is in there.
It's supposed to be unbiased --- it's by one of the editors on ESPN's WolverineNation (Bob McClellan).
OT - Mark Cuban thinks NBA should have 3 year rule
Given all the melt down about the Burke (as of yet, no decision), I thought this article was appropriate. Interesting view from the other side.
