A few thoughts on some of the local college signings this week from around the area;

Jasmine Harris (North Farmington) – Basketball UMass

Best word to describe Harris' game; VERSATILE!!!!

Melissa Palmer (Troy Athens) – Softball Western Michigan

Will take the place of Kelsey Cleary (Lakeland/MSU) as the county's best leadoff hitter this spring

Gabe Berman (BH Andover) – Baseball Western Michigan

"Gabe the Babe" is one of the most exciting and explosive players in the state!!!!

Nic Stoll (Holly) – Basketball Michigan Tech

Will be the best big man in Northern Oakland County this winter

Katy Severson (North Farmington) softball Uof-D-Mercy

I see Severson leading the Raiders to Battle Creek in 2012!!!!

Sinclair Russell (Troy Athens) – Basketball Oakland U

Expect to see a more multi-faceted look from Russell's game this winter aka she's going to be showing off her newfound perimeter skills….all Burney can say is VERY SCARY!!!!

Jason Gamble (WL Western) – Baseball Central Michigan

PURE POWER on the mound!!!!!

Mary Henry (Birmingham Marian) – Volleyball Duquesne

All my homegirl Mary knows how to do on the volleyball court is WIN, WIN, WIN!!!!!!!

Karin Moss (Troy) – Basketball Buffalo

Coming off an electrifying junior campaign last year, Moss will be one of the best point guards in the state as a senior

Brett Sunde (MH Bishop Foley) – Baseball Western Michigan

Best catcher in the state on the prep baseball diamond….Yeah, I said it!!!!

Allyson Kus (West Bloomfield) – Softball Western Michigan

Burney's sleeper SUPERSTAR for this upcoming spring on the softball diamond             

Eman Hubbard (FH Harrison) – Basketball UofD-Mercy

I absolutely LOVE Hubbard's game……huge upside as a college prospect

Matt Constance (Birmingham Brother Rice) – Baseball Central Michigan

Didn't get much of a look at Constance last year due to injury, but this transfer from the Plymouth school district can straight spin from the bump!!!!!!

Hannah Little (AH Avondale) – Basketball St. Bonaventure

Polished post presence and as hard working as they come…..shot blocking specialist

Gabby Yurik (Stoney Creek) – Golf Michigan State

Most overall talented female high school athlete in the state, DESTROYING the comp whether on the links or on the hardwood

Kellen McCormick (Pontiac NDP) – Basketball Western Michigan

What's most impressive about KM is his continued improvement through the years, ……OUTRIGHT REFUSING to just ride his last name the next level

Kayce Nieto (FH Mercy) – Softball Utah

The "K QUEEN" LIVES for another spring in the OC…..thank god!!!!

Taylor Perry (Rochester) – Basketball Western Michigan

The consummate WORKHORSE…..enough said!!!

Tori Duffey (Waterford Lakes) – Basketball New Hampshire

A big and athletic combo-guard that can create off the dribble, take it to the rack and bomb away from deep…..ummmmmmm sounds a lot like a former Lakers stud HOOPSTRESS who led the program to back-to-back state titles and is currently playing D1 ball up the road at OU

Logan Regnier (Novi) – Baseball Central Michigan

Must run in the family!!!

Jodan Price (Birmingham DCD) – Basketball De Paul

Set for breakout year with the perennial state power Yellowjackets!!!
