Nimari Burnett will announce his final decision the week of April 6-9. I believe it will come down to Alabama and Illinois. I like Alabama’s chances considering they finished 2nd in his recruitment and honestly was going to land him up until the week he committed. Just a gut feeling but there hasn’t been any information released about where he leans.
 
Harper...remind me again...what of player is Burnett? How will he fit in Oat's system?
He’s a 6’4 200 lb SG/SF who is a really good shooter and can play off ball really well as well. He was not a good fit at Texas Tech because of their style of play, but should flourish in a style like Alabama or Illinois

i thought he played point.

He was considered a CG out of HS but is kinda thick so at 6'5 he can slide from 2 to 3. I'm sure he can run some PG but it won't be his primary position. There's Nimari, Myreon Jones, and who am I forgetting? Isn't there one other high level CG we're on? Any of the three would be super solid joining our class assuming we land Bediako too. Really filling some needs.

I’m thinking he commits by the end of the month, but nobody can ever tell with him
Yes, I think he has proven that. The last thing I read about him was he was telling someone he wanted to watch some of his teams in the tournament. I hope he goes ahead and make a move so CNO can move on and get someone out of the portal or from Juco etc.

It doesn't really matter, there are no positions in Oats system. We sure could use some taller trees though!
