Blogs > Burney's Bytes

Burney's Bytes will focus primarily on the local preps sports scene, but will also touch on some college and pro athletics, mostly in regards to athletes who hail and have played high school sports in Oakland County. My goal for the blog is to be conversational and anecdotal, a more relaxed and free formal take on high school athletics than you see in regular game day coverage.

Recruiting Radar Check

FAST-RISERS RADAR

REMEMBER THESE THREE NAMES:
 
BRYAN BELL (WL CENTRAL) - A BEHEMOTH 6-5 287 POUND OFFENSIVE LINEMAN, BELL MIGHT NOT GET TO BASK MUCH IN THE LIMELIGHT 'CAUSE HE'S DOWN IN THE TRENCHES DOING THE DIRTY WORK FOR COACH MEYER'S GRITTY GROUP OF VIKINGS BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE HE'S ONE OF THE BEST LINE PROSPECTS IN THE STATE IN 2011.
SCHOOLS LOOKING AT BELL - UCLA, MICHIGAN, MICHIGAN, CMU, EMU, WMU
MIKE SULLIVAN (WATERFORD OUR LADY OF THE LAKES) - SMALL SCHOOL STUD QB STARTING TO GET SERIOUS AND SURPRISE INTEREST FROM A FEW MAJORS.  
SCHOOLS LOOKING AT SULLIVAN - MICHIGAN STATE, OHIO STATE, NOTRE DAME,UCLA, SYRACUSE, 'NATTI, TOLEDO, BOWLING GREEN, CMU, EMU
ALEX FINE (LAKE ORION) - THIS 6-1 210 POUND SAFETY WILL BE ONE OF THE HIGHEST RECRUITED DEFENSIVE BACKS IN THE CLASS OF 2011. YOU DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT HIM BECAUSE HE JUST GOT TO TOWN LAST FALL FROM CINCINNATI AND HAD TO SIT OUT MOST OF THE YEAR DUE TO TRANSFER RULES. BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE, THIS HARD-HITTING DRAGON IS FLYING UP RECRUITING CHARTS THIS CURRENT OFF-SEASON WITH KNOCK-OUT SHOWINGS AT A VARIETY OF SHOWCASE CAMPS.
SCHOOLS LOOKING AT FINE - MICHIGAN, MICHIGAN STATE, CINCINNATI, IOWA STATE, AND MISSOURI
speaking of flying up the charts, it seems the more exposure Troy Athens Jake Duzey gets at off-season camps and combines, the more interest he's getting from all the big boys of the recruiting game. although a receiver in the prep ranks, Duzey, 6-4, big hands, and wide-bodied, projects as a shifty tight end in college.
SCHOOLS LOOKING AT DUZEY - FLORIDA, NORTE DAME, MICHIGAN STATE, OHIO STATE, ILLINOIS, PURDUE, NORTHWESTERN, WMU, CMU, EMU, BOWLING GREEN, DUKE,INDIANA, AND WISCONSIN
Destination Meter:
Aaron White (West Bloomfield) – West Virginia State for football
Jake Fortner (Stoney Creek) – Northwood for hoops
Bryan "B-Money" Coleman (S-Lathrup) – waiting on a hoops offer from UofD, if not it looks like it will be Wayne St.
Jody Hill (Ferndale) – Northwestern State (Ohio) for hoops
Megan Heiden (Rochester) – OCC for hoops
Tiffany Coleman (Waterford Mott) – OCC or Marygrove for hoops
Prospect Interest Meter:

MH Madison sizzling tailback/DB recruit, Valdez Showers is being eyed by scouts at Michigan, MSU, Indiana, Cincinnati, Purdue, Wisconsin, Northwestern, CMU, EMU, Toledo, and Bowling Green
QUICK SIDE NOTE: I'VE DECIDED TO NICKNAME VALDEZ, "THE REIGN MAN", BECAUSE EVERYTIME THIS KID'S ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD IT STARTS RAINING TOUCHDOWNS.
THE THUNDEROUS Tim "Jumbo" Hamilton (FB/LB) OF BROTHER RICE is getting looks from the likes of CMU, MSU, Iowa, Syracuse, Missouri, Wisconsin, UConn and Toledo
