Mr. Burkhart, it's "eat 'em up" but we'll let that one slide since you're new and all.

Welcome to the family.

Looks like he has pretty good hands.

Welcome to the family.

I have seen the coaches use the #zipemup hash tag.

They probably need to be set straight too, but they are relatively new as well.  Since the Cincinnati-Xavier basketball brawl in 2011, (some) Musketeer fans have used #zipemup as their rallying cry.  Probably not the greatest hashtag to be confused with.

 

For those who have forgotten:

More on Burkhart, and does anybody know more about Tracy Jordan from Springfield? 6-3, 260 is good size and he is a cousin of freshman Pitt commit Bryce Hargrove.

Thanks for sharing. My take after watching this is it's clear Burkahart has good speed and agility on the clips on turf fields (Norton, Cloverleaf). Hard to show that throughout when half the highlights were played in a swamp, especially the clips at Springfield and whoever that team was in all whites (Ravenna?). Overall, this is a quality get, IMO. He has enough speed where he could play outside, but looks like somebody who could flourish in the slot.

Nice...too bad it means nothing for how good of a football player he will be. Most D-1 football players can dunk a basketball. crap... I could in 8th grade.

Lol ?, sure you could, I'm trying to look at the recruits & see what they can do, multiple sport players are good signs, good multiple sport players are even better, if you google baumspage for track times this kid also ran the 3rd fastest time in the State in 100m in regionals to go to state, I was planning on trying to do similar for other recruits but since it doesn't mean anything I won't, sorry to have wasted your time

8th grade? Either you were/are extremely tall or a D1 quality athlete. I played on a team with Sam Clancy Jr. in 7th grade and he dunked one time in a game ... one of those barely got it over the rim but it went in. All he did was go on to be an All-American at USC and drafted to the NBA.

I'm 6'4. I was 6'2 in 8th grade. We had a kid that dunked in the 7th grade. You guys get excited over the dumbest stuff.

I disagree, but you're negative over everything. Merry Christmas!

Thanks for taking the time to post the video and info. With the exception of one or two people, everyone appreciates it.

For what it's worth, I had a teammate who was dunking in 8th grade also.  We marveled at him (especially since I was well under 6' at the time, and could barely touch the net).  He was a two-sport star in the making.

 

Well, by our senior year of high school, he sucked at football and basketball.  He peaked way too early, and everyone had passed him by.

A lot of people can get a running start & dunk 1 or 2 times out of 10. Not many actually dunk in a game & one of those was a steal & dribble the length of court & two hand dunk while being contested, I was just bored with some time off & looking into some of the recruits, I am hoping, PRAYING, that this local class of recruits does well & people start going to games & there is a culture change

The football recruiting page is what got me hooked on ZN.o... I'd say over 10 years ago now.
