Former BU recruit from last spring, Mike Burwell, decided on a year of prep school to try to improve his offers. He thought he could do better than the offers he had from Bradley, Old Dominion, Colorado State, San Diego, and St. Bonaventure.
After spending this past year at South Kent prep school, where he was their leading scorer, he committed to University of South Florida.
I've been there, and it's a beautiful campus, even if the basketball team is a bottom dweller in the Big East.
Other offers were from Evansville, Northern Iowa, South Alabama, Rutgers, and Fordham.

Burwell, 6??™6-200 pounds is currently playing at South Kent where he is the team??™s leading scorer and is gearing up for the playoffs which start Wednesday.
???Mike??™s a scorer, and will be able to score at any level,??? said Kent Head Coach Kelvin Jefferson. ???He??™s a big guard that can really stretch out defenses with his range on his jump shot, and get hit from well beyond the 3-point line. He also has the ability to get by defenders and has a good mid game as well???
The Bulls started following Burwell in high school when he averaged over 29 points, 11 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game as a senior at Cardinal McCormick HS in South Amboy, NJ.
Burwell had offers from schools like Fordham, Rutgers, Evansville, UCF, South Alabama, Northern Iowa and had plenty of other interest before choosing USF.
Burwell is a combo guard and was a full qualifier coming out of Cardinal McCormick, but decided that attending prep school for a year was the best avenue for him.
???I was only 17 coming out of high school and thought another year of maturity would help me. I??™ve been playing on one of the higher levels in the nation on one of the top scoring teams in the country, and it has helped me greatly.???
