Rivals analyst Adam Gorney, citing a source, says that while Michigan and Arizona State are still after Washington State receiver commit Deontay Burnett, "he could very well stick with the Cougars" despite attempts to flip him on NSD.
While many were glued to their TVs on Super Bowl Sunday, Burnett was on a plane back to Southern California from an official visit to Michigan when reports began circulating that the three-star receiver had committed to the Wolverines. Shortly after the flight, Burnett informed Gorney that he had not committed to Michigan and that he didn't want to make an emotional decision following the visit.
Mike Leach and others on the Washington State staff have been in Burnett's ear since his decision to take the visit, telling him that the passing opportunities in the Pac-12 are plentiful compared to Jim Harbaugh's power-style running game in the B1G.
"This could be a build-up for a Signing Day switch," Gorney says, before clarifying that "no one seems to know right now whether Burnett will stick with his Washington State pledge or go to one of the two other schools chasing him late."
The buzz, however, right now, is that Burnett will stick with Washington State, which would be a big win for the Cougars this late in the cycle.
