Jeff Goodman: Burke Gone
http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/blog/eye-on-college-basketba…
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.
A coach turns a player into an NBA level talent so he decides to leave...and it's his fault? If a player want's to leave that is his choice, the coach can do nothing about it.
You're right. My sources tell me that once the season was over, Belien said "fuck it!" and strolled out of his office, quote: "like a pimp", completely abandoning all his basketball responsibilities. You are obviously right because you seem to know about this situation as much as my sources do.
It's a bitch when it comes to stuff like this.
This decision is equivalent to taking a loaded gun into your place of work and pointing it at people. Completely moronic and career ending.
Stop the presses!
Trey Burke has not declared for the NBA draft. He is still enrolled at the University of Michigan.
...base his decision on who it is that would play PG for Michigan next year. Nor should he.
His dad just tweeted: "Trey Burke has not declared for the NBA draft. He is still enrolled at the University of Michigan."
Cant be mad at him for wanting to fulfil a dream, but the draft class is gonna be so deep i hope he will get drafted. The PG who just won a championship Marquis Teague who is a beast, some mocks dont have him going till the 26th pick.
W/E, I'm happy for him.......NEXT
God I hope he doesnt leave. He is by far the most important player on the team.
Zeigler would have to sit out a year, so that would do no good for this upcoming year.
It's my understanding that Albrecht played on the same AAU team as GR3 and McGary so he's got that going for him. Zeigler plays a wing, not PG, and would have to sit out a year for transferring.
I wish Trey all the best, but I truly believe he is going to regret that decision
Jared Sullinger was going to be a top 2 pick. There was nowhere to go but down for him. Trey Burke isn't a 1st round pick.
...I cannot remember seeing a school with such a mediocre postseason resume lose so many players early to the draft when they were not surefire first round picks. Manny, D Morris and now Burke would be crazy.
I didn't mind CWebb, Jalen and Juwan leaving early. They were projected to be lottery picks before and after enrolling here and took us to Final Fours and Elite Eights. I just feel like it's so little bang for the buck when we bring in good players and they leave early before the team can reap the benefit of their talent with a deep NCAA run.
This is becoming a neg bang thread. That needs to stop. These are discussion boards. With that said, to those people: Burke was mr. basketball ohio so expectations were high. Morris was drafted (rd. 2, 41 overall). He now resides in the D-league, that is not the NBA. Thats like saying a minor leaguer is in the MLB. And yes, this is a bad thing for michigan recruiting. We dont recruit the type of one and done players. So for these guys with mediocre draft stock to leave so early hurts our post season runs and the image of the program for producing nba ready players. Crawford was the last product that made it in the NBA. Top talent stays for 2-3 years because their stock wont decrease and they develop into lottery picks. Thats the goal.
it's nice to have the program back to a level where we have to worry about players leaving early
Can someone post Bo's speech on 'The Team, The Team, The Team'? I think Bo makes several good points. Those who stay will be Champions. That is all.
If you want Michigan Basketball to be a top 10 program, you should get used to players leaving early. That's how it works.
DLEAGUE BALLIN'
Honestly though, I'm not going to berate him and say how much I hate Trey Burke now....
But, I really feel bad for him... I feel bad for him that his support structure has led him to believe that leaving a wonderful University for a shitty shot at an NBA draft is a good idea...
There has to be a fire - I think Burke is gone
I wonder what the guys who are transferring thinking now?
If he's gone, he gone.
so, at least there's a good thing, I guess.
This is about as wicked a nut shot as I could imagine.
