Commence misery.
Update: His Dad says he hasn't declared:
Trey Burke has not declared for the NBA draft. He is still enrolled at the University of Michigan.
But all that means is he hasn't declared yet. Slight hope, but still, misery.
Well
I'm sure this article was
I'm sure this article was just posted so that his site would get some views.
Stupid article
Anyone notice the idiot thinks Akunne is going to step in and be our starting point guard? He may be right about burke but he doesn't know michigan nor basketball.

Interesting screen name
I hear Tate is gonna try the CFL, inside family info, good luck Tate, all you have to study now is the playbook.
As far as Trey possibly going pro, I think it would be a major mistake and he would benefit by staying one more year and building his stock and body and becoming a higher draft pick which would force any team drafting him to be more invested than not.
Stay in school Trey, don't be hasty.
Sure he is
Why shouldn't we trust what some guy on his blog says, when he doesn't name his sources?
Just confused...

RT @nickbaumgardner: Benji Burke tells http://AnnArbor.com that "Trey has not declared"
"And they'll never catch him..."
Some good news: Spike Albrecht
In same story-
"The Wolverines, according to a source, are also bringing in under-the-radar point guard Spike Albrecht for a visit Thursday."

As in... no other team, let alone 67 other teams, have at least one good player coming back and a highly touted freshmen class? There was also the matter of the exodus of three other players leaving the program..

Goodman's article says EXPECTED to leave in title...
but has the foregone conclusion that he is gone in the article's body... so who the fuck knows what's going on?
While I think this is yet another premature departure by a Wolverine, what do I know? I hope Burke rocks the NBA if he does leave, but I have my doubts.
Question, and do not mean to over-stir the pot, but is there something that Bielein is doing that is driving our better players away???
Inability to pay them
"Question, and do not mean to over-stir the pot, but is there something that Bielein is doing that is driving our better players away???
Inability to pay them millions of dollars would be my guess.
I think Coach B has got
I think Coach B has got everything under control...don't worry. You don't hear fans of power programs asking these kinds of questions. Attrition happens at a high rate at the top. Michigan fans just aren't used to it yet.
We aren't used to it yet
We aren't used to it yet because we are not a power program in basketball and haven't been in nearly 20 years. Beilein's plan is going along wonderfully and I have the utmost confidence we will be a player in the Big Ten for years to come, but quit acting like we are Kentucky or UNC and reloading our one-and-dones with next year's crop of one-and-done phenoms. At this stage in our program losing Burke is huge and we have no one committed or on the roster that is capable of playing half the point Trey does. We have Spike Albrecht as our likely contingency plan, and no disrespect to him but UK or UNC or Kansas or any true power would not be running out Spike as the starting point guard. We just aren't on their level yet, man.
(Insert my overreaction here that gets flame-baited)

Thinking positively!
Maybe Burke will quickly discover the error of his ways and withdraw before the April 10th withdrawal date!
Trey's Dad
AA.com quote is meaningless. Saying he hasn't declared doesn't mean he won't be in a few days.
Good luck
I hope Trey has a great career and is an all star, thanks for the great season!
WHY
One step forward and two steps back. Why isn't the basketball team allowed to keep its head above water? Football and hockey have been doing it for decades.
Good luck to Trey, but man, I wish he'd come back for another year. Never saw him as a one-and-done. I think he can use that extra year as much as the team can.

Until Trey confirms one way or the other
can we stop these BS posts. He hasn't even gotten his evaluation back yet so ignor it all until you hear the words out of the horses mouth. Lots of people are getting a lot of page hits despite not hearing one thing from the man who will ultimately make the decision.
not a BS report. goodman
not a BS report. goodman knows hist stuff.
I said BS post
nothing about the report. Unless Goodman talked to Trey and Trey told him he was gone it's pure speculation. Since Trey's own father doesn't know about it I would say it is a BS report, but that doesn't mean it can't/won't become reality. The thing I was trying to emphasize is that until Trey talks these post are nothing but hunches, guesses, and maybes.
Trey has until late April to make his decision and I don't know how the advisory board could actually let him know approximately where he'll be picked until they know exactly who is coming out. Whatever his decision I wish him nothing but the best. If he goes I just hope he doesn't get drafted in the second round and then sent down. It would be hard to give up a U of M education to make D league pay.
Again, Burkes father has said

We have no credible sources and they EXPECT him to leave as opposed to they KNOW he is going to leave. I see nothing definitive about this article.

Not drafted and playing in Spain. Great choice. Good luck and enjoy the life on the bus.

Take it easy
This guy is just trying to be the first to break the news. If he is wrong he can blame his unnamed sources, and if he is right he is all knowing. It's basic internet reporting.
Huge mistake.

Huge mistake.
Saw this one coming a mile away. Add him to the list of great Wolverines making a horrible mistake of going pro too early.
Totally agree
Burke needs more time in college, I hope he is an all-star but unfortunately I think he will end up like other recent UM guards who leave early, drafted late and barely hanging on.
I love Michigan...

If he does indeed go (I'm
If he does indeed go (I'm holding out hope), you have to wonder where he's getting his encouragement to declare. Basically every NBA Insider/ scout/ ESPN guy I've heard has said he should stay. I don't get it?
Hate to say it...
I blame Beilein, how can you continuously allow your top players to leave after 1 or 2 seasons? Burke will be a 2nd round pick, just like the rest of them. I just don't understand how he can allow this to happen. Well, time to watch our incredibily talented basketball team next year underachieve with no PG.
-BP-
Are you joking?
What is he supposed to do to stop him, lock him in the dungeon?
He could
Possibly give his guys some good advice? UNC's players didn't go through an advisery commitee. They talked to their coach. Roy knew that they were lotto picks and should go. I just find it incredibly frustrating that these kids are leaving to the NBA before they are ready. It is their decision, yes. A lot of talented freshman returned for their sophomore seasons last season and improved their draft stock.

How do you
Know he hasn't given him some advice?
