How is Burbridge compared to like Arnett or Dorial or Stefon Diggs?

Burbridge is ahead of Arnett, behind Dorial Green-Beckham and Stefon Diggs.

Burbridge has a legitimate shot at top player in the state (if he can get qualified). High upside.

I personally think he is much better than Arnett..Cant comment on the other 2 though...Would LOVE him to qualify and go to Michigan

Diggs and Green-Beckham have offers from virtually every member of the elite BCS schools.

Burbridge, while not as highly regarded, is no slouch by any means.

And trust me, Burbridge needs serious work on his grades. As of now, ineligible for upcoming track season.

Alright fellow Sports Inferno'ins. Here is my "pretend to be an insider" tip of the day.

Trieu says that Burbridge has to take summer classes (everyone figures that anyway), but that he is closer to qualifying than people think.

And for the kick in the nuts to Spartan fans...Michigan is very much in the game for him.

If the FHH 3 go Blue, holy suicide watch Batman.

MD may get run out of East Lansing if he loses those three all to UM

Never saw the other two play, but watched Burbs make the transition to safety last year and from the start he had some incredible plays , a few where he seemed to elevate in a different gear. Nowhere was this more evident than in the first playoff game against Brother Rice where he pick-sixed their QB in the waning moments and bolted for like 65 yards. He literally took the ball out of a much taller receiver's hands and ran untouched. Crazy athletic ability. Also watched him run back a punt for 60-70 yards against in another playoff game.

My source tells me he thinks it would be a good idea for Aaron to go to U of M so he can be around Funchess (and perhaps eventually Mario O) but would be surprised if he can get his grades up to get into a Big Ten school. I had to remind him (kid's a student there) that the Big Ten and college athletics in general, are rife with athletes that fall far below the general standards the institutions hold non-athletes to.

FWIW, I still see him going to MSU.
