Burrows reported a flood of top-end offers at the end of January, when he was still unranked by 247. He's current an 85 by their reckoning, which is low three-star territory. Rivals has him a high three-star. Defensive recruiting isn't looking so hot right now: at #580, McBurrows is the highest-rated of Michigan's four defensive commits.
Hello post Monday; there is no content after the jump.
I hope the M’Den carries Ja’Den’s jersey
Look at the tape. The kid can play, and that's against good competition.

Not that recruiting comments were great before, but they're total no-go zones when MaizeN rears his ugly head again.
How many pick 7's did he get? Qb play surprisingly bad. Fingers crossed.
M'lady is clamoring for one.
This is the 3rd of 4 defensive commits that I've literally never heard of before they committed.
I sure hope all you guys saying "if they're not good enough when signing day comes along, they won't be in the class" are right because this might be the most drastic drop off in recruiting I've ever seen
The kid has offers from all the big time football programs other than Clemson. Is it still a bad pickup when he finishes in the top 300?
I dunno. I don't take that as here nor there. It seems like Alabama sends out non-committal offers to at least 20% of all HS football players in the country.
So he got non-committal offers from Alabama *and* Georgia *and* LSU *and* Florida State *and* Miami *and* Ohio State* *and* Penn State *and* Tennessee *and* Utah?
If it was one or two big programs, OK...but that's a murder's row.
Sometimes the easiest explanation is, "Recruiting sites are sometimes out of date and/or miss kids who aren't athletic freaks or a QB."
Go look at Jaylen Kelly Powell and Jeremy Jackson's "offer lists" if you think they are the be all end all.
The kid plays for a prominent program and has been scouted. offer lists don't mean shit. His ranking does. And it's a generic 3 star. Rich Rod recruiting on defense everyone.
He just can't quit us!
this is quite literally the worst recruiting take I have ever seen. Ever. Well done buddy.
His rankings come from guys who don’t coach and are sitting in their basement with a computer hanging a ranking on him. It appears most of the top programs in the country wanted him which means coaches hanging their livelihood on players thought he was good enough to help them
Good call idiot.
That's quite the hit rate.

Recruiting rankings get more and more accurate by the year. Truly a credit to all the people like Barton who go to the camps, watch the tape, talk to coaches. They grind. https://t.co/jOa9RejqNY
Recruiting is nowhere near an exact science. Sam McGuffie anyone. #1 running back, D Green, #1 player, R Gary, #2 player J peppers, #1 rec, DPJ. Michigan has recruited well enough to win 10-11 games. For them to get over the hump and get top 3 classes is a QB who plays big in big games.

I wish you could reach a 3 star level of posting, even occassionally.
Furthermore, the best information is from who offers--if the offers are real in the sense the player will actually be offered a scholarship. The programs-coaches aren't just evaluating as a hobby or even as a pundit-rating service: if they pick too many players that don't play at the requisite level, then they lose their jobs. Having said that, of course, it's impossible to know if the offers are real

This kid could move up in the rankings based on his offer list, but it's also possible that most of those offers aren't commitable. He goes to a highly scouted school. Unless he's improved recently, I'm guessing this ranking might not change
So long as he's not your highest-rated defensive recruit. #300 among a group of #1000's doesn't bode well for the program
Maybe it’s not that he is our floor it’s that he is our ceiling. Great pickup with a solid class around him.
It’s currently a top-10 class, Nancy.
Minnesota has a top 10 class right now, it means nothing. Also the gap between #10 and top 5 is MASSIVE.
You just don't get it do you. How many more L's does Harbaugh have to rack up against OSU before you do? Would 0-10 get you to admit his recruiting stinks? The only measuring stick is OSU. You don't like it go root for another team.
Ah Maizen, I was wondering when you’d be back.
Say, have your parents been able to photoshop you out of all the family portraits yet? A difficult process, but worth the effort in the end, to be sure!
I often times wonder how he goes about determining what his new account name is going to be. Like this account for example. Is Mr. Burns his favorite character from the Simpsons and was he 11 years old when he finally passed second grade? Was the first house he lived in on "Burns Drive" and was he 11 years old when he finally passed second grade? Is he a Bernie Sanders supporter and was he 11 years old when he finally passed second grade?
So many possibilities.

I really wonder why he keeps changing names...is he trying to stay anonymous? Because he outs himself in every recruiting thread. Why don’t you stick to one name instead of constantly changing it and trying to hide like a bitch? The only benefit I can see is that your old comments are nearly impossible to find and call you out on when you’re wrong. Bitch move, man up.
You're a weird dude. Virtually hyperventilating over this shit is hilarious.
The quality of his 0-5 is all I need to see. And when you factor in the level of high school athlete OSU is bringing into what our defensive coaches will be working with going forward?? I can't see this trend reversing. The last two games showed Brown has no idea how to stop them. Plus they've either received verbals or are the favorites for 8 of the top 40 players. The gap continues to widen
Yep. This is some rich rod level defensive recruiting right now. Never thought I would see it under Harbaugh but his defensive staff is in wayyy over there heads. But I mean Zordich and Shoop are two middle aged white guys who were known to be average to bad bad recruiters when they were hired and Nua's best job was at a service academy. Don Brown still thinks he's at BC. It's just mind bendingly bad.
*Checks join date*
Yep this makes sense
$5 per account. Brian and Seth are getting their stimulus money
you're mind bendingly bad

Do does he get banned for being an ageist or racist?
BTW wouldnt that mean that Dabo and Saban would have issues? I don't know, tough to try and bring logic into the room when someone is throwing a temper tantrum.
Content I discovered while on twitter page of newest commit.
Def knowing...brightside looks good!
Has an offer from FSU, UGA, and Bama
I hope the 3* doomers don't panic on this one yet
Offer or OFFER? How coaches verbally offer scholarships that aren’t committable is one of the world’s great mysteries to me...Like what did they tell the kid: “Hi Billy Bob. This is coach Satan...I mean Saban. We are honored to offer you a scholarship that is in fact not committable. What do you say Billy Bob? Are you ready to come down to Bama and meet some ladies?”
Non committable offers are basically offers saying "if we have room for you down the line or we miss on our top targets then we might take you"
The probably tell the player they want to get to know them better and build a relationship before they make any decisions. That gives the school time to figure out if they really want them.
Did he transfer high schools? I cursory Google search shows he was not at Aquinas last year. So perhaps that somewhat explains the who-dat nature of his recruiting.
Anyway, excited to have another kid.
Per Hudl, he was at American Heritage High School in Plantation, FL through his sophomore year (2018-2019), then transferred to St Thomas Aquinas for his junior year.

This post is a tad gloomy. Even if some of the offers weren't committable, his sheet is still mad impressive and even if you don't trust the Michigan coaches, I sure as hell trust Bama and OSU's coaches for football talent evaluation
Very gloomy. And his last name is misspelled as “Burrows” at one place
I trust this:
First round: of the 32 picks, only 6 players were not ranked as a 5star or 4star by one of the three major networks.
— Barton Simmons (@bartonsimmons) April 24, 2020
Of those 26 that were a 4/5 by at least one network, 247Sports had the most accurate ranking on 14 of them.
first round scorecard:
1. 247 2. ESPN 3. Rivals
Offer sheet doesn't seem to match the ranking. I'm more optimistic for a 3 star who-dat from florida than massachusetts, though.
offer sheet sounds better than a 3 star
Why so down Brian? This guys has great offers and good film. There's going to be a lot of Sleeper of the Year candidates for this recruiting class.
I mean it's an objective fact that our defensive recruiting is not doing so hot right now. Zero defensive commits in the composite 500. We'd be making fun of MSU if they were recruiting like Don Brown is right now
We wouldn’t if MSU had held us to a combined 17 points over the past two years. I’d think we’d probably suggest their defensive coaches should get the benefit of the doubt.
Not much benefit left to give to our defensive coaches after their last two performances
