Kid looks like a polished College receiver. He made some incredible catches on that highlight video. Looks really fluid, went up for the ball well in traffic, caught the ball with his hands really well, broke tackles, etc. That video looked like a future 5 star receiver in my opinion. Go get him boys!

I've got to say, his QB looks pretty good too (although he looked small). Made some incredible throws on the run.

Any news on him? Is he interested at all?

Just looked up an article that had Michigan and Michigan State in the lead.

Hasn't heard much from Notre Dame or Ohio State in a while

It doesn't surprise me at all that he has Michigan and MSU in the lead. We are sitting really favorable with alot of the top receivers so it wouldn't be shocking to me if we get a couple of guys in the next month or so. I don't know, I don't see us really pursuing him hard at this point.

Yeah. I just wanted to know because his highlight films look really good.

This is the type of guy both of those programs desperately need, especially michigan. I'm sure they're selling early playing time to him and he'll prolly choose them in the end.

From ESPN:

ESPNU 150 Watch List WR Aaron Burbridge of Michigan grew up a Michigan State fan, but he's recently become more open to being converted to the dark side. Two of his teammates, Watch List TE Devin Funchess and DE Mario Ojemudia have committed to Michigan in the last month, causing Burbridge to take a much closer look at the Wolverines.

"They're starting to (try to sell him on Michigan)," Burbridge told SpartanMag.com's Paul Day. "They didn't at first. But now they are. They're being respectful about it. They know it's my choice and I have to weigh my options and see what other schools have to offer."

Despite offers from the likes of Notre Dame and Ohio State, Burbridge has pretty much decided to stay within state lines. "It's basically Michigan and Michigan State are the only schools I'm talking to right now," he said.

Burbridge admits that he remains a Spartans fan but says of the Wolverines: "Right now I feel kind of more comfortable with the coaches than I do at State."

Working in Michigan State's favor, the coaches have talked to him about becoming a multipurpose threat along the lines of rising senior WR Keshawn Martin -- including being the Wildcat QB. But Burbridge remains torn and says he's not even sure when he might arrive at a decision.

I wish ND was more in the mix. This kid has been one of my favorite prospects since his video was posted

Michigan's running out of elite WR prospects.
