Burnett had Illinois on his top list just a few months ago but decided to cut his list down to just five teams on Monday afternoon. The five teams that made the top list for Burnett were Alabama, Louisville, Michigan, Texas Tech and Oregon.
Honestly, I was a little surprised Illinois didn’t make the cut here. There were a few teams who already had official visits scheduled with Burnett, but I felt the Illini were in a position of at least getting an official visit. I was wrong, though, and now we have to regroup and see what is still available in the recruiting market.
