RE: Trahson Burrell commits to Memphis
So, that's gets us to two commitments out of Madness, which some were hoping to see. Maybe not the exact ones, lol, but still two solid commitments.

Also, ESPN had him graded out at an 89 from 2011, as a 3-star SF, but no written analysis. I imagine he has improved quite a bit since then.

I like what I see. A BIG sg/sf. Explosive athlete and lot's of lift on a nice jumper. I want to see him play defense.

Getting even one of those remaining three would make for an excellent class. Two would be unreal. Especially on the heels of the 2013 class.

Cliff would start automatically and really I would think those 3 commitments we have would be game changing bench players and Jaquan and Trevor would be our new guards, but playing time would be a HUGE issue for Pastner with that class

Watch the video in Post #5. Yes, he can play SG, at least on O. He can hit the 3, makes a couple of nice passes, gets some put backs, rebounds, dunks, runs the court well, and he is 6'6".

Don't know if he can guard the 2, though. Can't tell anything from that video. Probably would be okay. And remember, that video was taken in September of last year. He will have two years of JUCO under his belt by the time he shows up here.

JMO, but his strengths seem to be versatility (can do a little of everything), his height on the wing, and his coming in as a junior to add some experience to the roster, right after we lose so many seniors.

Graduating early, I think. This is probably his last season coming up.

Here's a much more informed answer, from ZagsBlog:

“I love coach P [Josh Pastner] and Memphis,” Burrell told SNY.tv. “The way they play fits my style completely. I can bring offense and defense. I’m a motor guy.”

Mike Moore, a family friend who used to coach Burrell in AAU, added: “He’s a legit 6-7 who can play 1 through 4. He can hit the 3, mid-range and break his man down for the drive to the basket.

“He’s long and lanky, which gives him a sizable advantage on the defensive end. He has a high motor and a strong desire to win.”

his game reminds me of Will the Thrill but with less flash and more athleticism.

Agree. But I bolded the other part, b/c you asked if Burrell could play SG.
