Michigan Thursday: Burke and Borseth Basketball Updates

The buzz on Trey Burke is that he is planning to enter the NBA draft.  Things could change and he could come back but the rumors are he got a NBA evaluation around the 20th pick which is the highest I have heard.  ESPN had him around 70 which would mean late 2nd round or not even drafted.  There are twitter picks up of his dorm room that was all packed up.

Losing Trey would be a huge loss to the basketball program and would also mean that 4 guys would got a ton of minutes would be gone from the program (3 starters and 1st guy off the bench).

  • Women's Basketball Coach Kevin Borseth resigned on Wednesday and will take his former job at Wisconsin-Green Bay.  Seems like a strange career decision unless the parting was mutual.

  •  PG Spike Albrecht will visit Ann Arbor today.  He and his coach believe Michigan will offer him on this visit.  Spike's family is close to Zack Novak's and Spike knows Glen Robinson and Mitch McGary from playing against each other.  Spike is 6'1/180 and only other offer is App. State.  Spike is expected to accept an offer right away.

  • If Spike is offered I do expect that Michigan will continue their recruitment of Findlay Prep (Nev.) guard Amedeo Della Valle .
