Alfonso Clark "Trey" Burke III (born November 12, 1992) is an American college basketball point guard with the Michigan Wolverines basketball team who is playing his freshman season for the 2011–12 team. As a high school basketball player, he was 2011 Ohio Mr. Basketball and a PARADE magazine All-American. Additionally, he was a member of the 2009 Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) Division I State Championship team and the 2011 OHSAA Division I State Runner-up as well as an Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) U16 National Championship team in 2009 and a runner-up in the 2008 AAU U15 National tournament.

Early life

By the age of 5, Burke's local youth basketball league had to change its rules so that he would not keep stealing the ball from the other team. As a result of his prowess, he was not allowed over half court when the other team had the ball.[1] He became Jared Sullinger's best friend in fourth grade, but when his mother was transferred to Atlanta in sixth grade they were separated. The reassignment only lasted one year, however.[1] Jared's father, Satch Sullinger, was the coach at Northland High School, while Burke's father was an assistant coach at Eastmoor Academy.[1] Burke chose Northland because he felt he had a better chance to succeed due to their personnel.[1] Burke gave a verbal commitment to Penn State in 2009 after receiving his first Big Ten Conference offer, but later changed his mind to Michigan.[1] In addition to basketball, Burke volunteered for the Special Olympics.[2]

As a sophomore, Burke made 5 of 6 free throws in overtime to help his team defeat Dublin Scioto High School by a 54–53 margin in a 2009 OHSAA Division I regional final.[3] In the state championship game, he made one of two free throws to give Northland a 58–56 lead with 27.6 seconds left in what became a 60–58 win over Princeton High School.[4][5] He also made the pass to set up the final game-winning points, although they were scored from the foul line by Sullinger.[6] During the championship season, Burke averaged 10.7 points and 9.1 assists, and made only 1.7 turnovers per game.[7]

In his junior season, Burke, Sulllinger and another player, J. D. Weatherspoon, were dominant.[8] That season they defeated both of the top two 2008–09 year-end teams (Oak Hill Academy and Findlay Prep).[9] Northland was undefeated and ranked #1 in the nation by ESPN HS before they fell in the 2010 OHSAA regional finals to Lincoln High School.[10] They had also been ranked #1 by USA Today for several weeks,[11][12] but they fell out of the top 10 with the season-ending loss.[13] Before his senior season, Burke signed his National Letter of Intent with Michigan in the November signing period.[14] Coming off a 23–1 season, after losing Sullinger and Weatherspoon to Ohio State, Northland entered Burke's senior season ranked #44 in the nation according to ESPN HS.[15] Following a 26–2 season, the team finished #45 in the ESPN HS poll.[16]

During Burke's career, Northland was 97–5, including 57–0 in City League games.[17] Burke was a 2009 OHSAA Division I State Champion, a PARADE magazine All-America (2011, second team)[18] and 2011 Associated Press Ohio Mr. Basketball.[17] He was ranked as the 15th, 20th and 26th best high school point guard in the class of 2011 by ESPN.com, Scout.com and Rivals.com, respectively.[19][20][21]

In addition to scholastic competition, Burke played in the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) national competitions with All-Ohio Red, coached by Benji Burke, his father. The team won the AAU U16 National Title in 2009 and finished as runner-up in the 2008 AAU U15 National tournament.[17]

College

The 2010–11 Michigan Wolverines team lost 2010–11 Big Ten Conference men's basketball season assist leader, point guard Darius Morris to the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2011 NBA Draft.[22] This left Michigan with a vacant starting point guard position.

Freshman year

In the 3-game November 21–23 2011 Maui Invitational Tournament, the team defeated the #8 Memphis Tigers 73–61,[23] lost to the #6 Duke Blue Devils 82–75,[24] and defeated the 2011–12 Pacific-12 season favorite UCLA Bruins 79–63,[25][26] which helped the team finish in third place.[27] Burke was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week for his 36 points and 18 assists during the tournament on November 28.[28] On December 10, 2011, Michigan defeated Oakland by a 90–80 margin. It was the highest point production by Michigan since beating Northern Michigan 97–50 on November 14, 2009, and it was Michigan's first game with three 20-point scorers (Tim Hardaway, Jr., Burke and Evan Smotrycz) since December 11, 2002, when they played Bowling Green.[29] For his season-high 20 points and season-high 9 assists, Burke earned his second Freshman of the Week honor on December 12.[30]

Personal

Burke's grandfather starred at East High School in Columbus in the 1950s and his father starred at Eastmoor in the 1980s before going on to set records at Northwest Missouri State University. His parents are Ronda and Alfonso "Benji" Burke II. Three former Northland teammates are now his Big Ten competitors: Sullinger (Ohio State), J. D. Weatherspoon (Ohio State) and Javon Cornley (Indiana, football).[17]
