The latest video from Trey Burke presented by In God's Image Productions, featuring Burke's workouts on his journey to Ann Arbor. Part III features several of the drills Burke uses to improve his ball handling, shooting and finishing skills.
Burke also discussed what he liked most about his Michigan teammates, starting with Tim Hardaway, Jr.

"It was just the way he made me feel when I first got on campus," Burke said after discussing his desire to help bring Michigan its first national basketball title since 1989. "He was cool - real cool. He was the first one I really got to know. I hung out with him when I went on my official, and I got to know all of them - Tim, Darius [Morris], [Zack] Novak, Stu [Douglass].
"The whole team - not to leave anyone out, but on my official visit I had already sat down with Darius and the coaches, Zack and a couple of the other players coming on campus. "
Burke expressed hope that Morris would stay, calling the potential backcourt "crazy" while expecting to back Morris up for a year. That won't happen, of course, with Morris having declared for the draft, but it opens a window of opportunity for Burke.
"If he leaves, that's on him. Then it will be my job to come in and try to get starting minutes, be a starter, be in control of the team," he said. "I'm ready for anything, whatever the case is."
