THE MERE MENTION OF MICHIGAN AND OHIO STATE IN THE SAME SENTENCE USUALLY AWAKENS THE BEAST THAT IS THEIR HEATED GRIDIRON RIVALRY.
BUT FOOTBALL WON'T BE THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN THIS YEAR WHEN THE WOLVERINES AND BUCKEYES SQUARE OFF DURING BIG TEN PLAY. YOU CAN THANK TREY BURKE AND HIS LONGTIME FRIEND JARED SULLINGER FOR THAT ONE.
WORDS. DYLAN MURPHY PHOTOS. ADAM CAIRNS P
LENTY OF WIDE-EYED, over-confident recruits are swallowed up and ruthlessly spit out by lofty goals and higher expectations. Maybe it's the pressure. Maybe it's the attention. Or maybe it's just a matter of
mental moxie. Whatever it is, no one who knows Trey Burke is worried. He's calm, well-mannered and disciplined. Humble with confidence protruding. A self-aware optimist.
There's a good chance that you don't know Burke, and there's an even better chance that you would scoff at his goal of 17 points and 10 assists per game for his upcoming freshman season at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. But that's nothing new for the 6-1 point guard from Northland High School in Columbus, Ohio.
