ESPN analysis for 2009 and 2010--speaks to his shooting the 3
January, 2010: Burnett has good strength, size and athleticism. Brandon has tremendous passing ability, but average ball handling skills. When his team is pressed, he is capable of making good decisions with the basketball and keeping his composure with the ball. He needs to work on his left hand dribble; going left, he pats at the ball and is only comfortable with one or two dribbles. Brandon is able to handle contact on drives to the basket and finish through his defender. He has good shooting technique on his jump shot, but he lacks shot selection. From the wing position, Brandon does a good job of rebounding down on the defensive back board and pushing the ball to start the fast break.
May, 2009: Burnett is a strong 3-man with a solid frame and intriguing skills, unfortunately he needs to tone down his shot selection and develop some savvy for this game. He has the ability to take defenders to the basket and utilize his physical frame to finish. In addition, he has the skill to knock down the 3-point shot. He gets nice elevation on his shot and his release his relatively smooth. On the other hand, he needs to develop a better understanding of how this game should be played. His shot selection is erratic to say the least and he does have some selfish tendencies that need to be rectified. Furthermore, instead of settling for the jump shot, it would be nice to see him post up smaller defenders in the post and take advantage of his strength.

Welcome to family Brandon, it's a great one and growing strong, especially with you in it.
Something about 6'8, 6'6 and 6'5 really excites me - that's a pretty good recruiting class if you're recruiting solely on size for a mid major. Hope that this kids (Smith and Burnett) can do the work in the class room so they can have a successful 4 years at Indiana State. Seems like Burnett is a heck of a ball player - love it that they suggest he needs to use better shot selection at times... A lot of kids in America you could say that about, I will wait to pass judgement until I see for myself.

in Golden's article he says ISU has no scholarships for the 2012 season, aren't Gant, Smith, and Burnett considered 2011 signees????

Yes - but we already have a commitment from Rhett Smith in 12' that might be the reason we don't have any available?? Just a thought??
Not sure how Golden figures this myself?
We have 4 seniors-to-be that will comes off the books in 2012 in Printy, Lathan, Richard and Walker. Add Rhett Smith and we still have 3 open spots for 2012. If for some reason Khristin Smith doesn't get qualified and doesn't sign a LOI with us, we'd have 4.

he will definitely be playing in front of MUCH larger crowds than he was playing in front of in that video.

So did this kid go to prep school like smith to get grades in order? Anybody know how we found him or any other schools that were after him? thanks in advances. Oh and welcome to the family Brandon! If he is indeed a good athlete then him and Smith at the wings is some serious length and hops!
According to the article in the Trib Star he took college prep courses to get his grades in compliance with the clearing house.
It says he was initially down to Oregon State, Boston College and UNC-Wilmington, with intent towards UNC-Wilmington.
After being declared ineligible for 2010, it says Oregon State and Pepperdine were in the running along with ISU.

He mean't 2011 signees to come in for the 12 season.
If he is counting Khristian, he is correct. If he isn't, he's wrong as we still have the open scholarship from when Brant left. We operated with a one scholarship surplus this year unless I missed something.

Brandon Burnett inks with Indiana State
Brandon Burnett is a steal for Indiana State
Burnett had several offers

Terra Haute, IN - The 6’6, 225lb (CG) Brandon Burnett out of Tucson's Cienaga HS has been a very hot commodity for college coaches across the country for some time now but once Brandon started playing for one of the top AAU programs in the country, the Compton Magic, Brandon’s recruitment soared. After being heavily recruited by a host of mid and high major colleges Brandon narrowed it down to UNC Wilmington and Indiana State. Earlier this afternoon Brandon made it official and signed a national letter of intent with Indiana State University. “I’m very happy, very excited & very anxious to get to Indiana State so that I can get acclimated to the school & the team” said Brandon Burnett “I’ve dreamed about this day my entire life”.
Brandon was a Hoops Report 2010 Arizona Preseason All-State Sr, 1st team selection & 2nd team regardless of class selection. Burnett is a big, strong physical (CG) who can play a West Coast style of fines game or he can and doesn’t mind playing a very physical, Mid West style of play as well.
Burnett is a very good outside shooter who possesses a solid handle and very good court vision and awareness. With all of the very good attributes that Brandon possesses, to go along with his NBA body type, Brandon is very athletic and off the court, Brandon is a high character guy. Look for Brandon to be a very big asset to Indiana State right away, on and off the court.
“I’m so proud of Brandon” said Dave Burnett Brandon’s Father “He’s worked so hard not only on the court but in the classroom in order to make his dream become a reality”. Brandon is yet another D1 prospect to sign a major scholarship out of what’s quietly becoming a basketball hot bed in Tucson, AZ. Just last year alone, Tucson produced such prospects as: Terrell Stoglin (signed w/Maryland), Mike Perez (signed w/UTEP), Bryce Cotton (signed w/Providence) & Jan Maehlen (signed w/Pepperdine).

This team gets more and more impressive each year, let's play some games!
espn evaluation
January, 2010: Burnett has good strength, size and athleticism. Brandon has tremendous passing ability, but average ball handling skills. When his team is pressed, he is capable of making good decisions with the basketball and keeping his composure with the ball. He needs to work on his left hand dribble; going left, he pats at the ball and is only comfortable with one or two dribbles. Brandon is able to handle contact on drives to the basket and finish through his defender. He has good shooting technique on his jump shot, but he lacks shot selection. From the wing position, Brandon does a good job of rebounding down on the defensive back board and pushing the ball to start the fast break.
May, 2009: Burnett is a strong 3-man with a solid frame and intriguing skills, unfortunately he needs to tone down his shot selection and develop some savvy for this game. He has the ability to take defenders to the basket and utilize his physical frame to finish. In addition, he has the skill to knock down the 3-point shot. He gets nice elevation on his shot and his release his relatively smooth. On the other hand, he needs to develop a better understanding of how this game should be played. His shot selection is erratic to say the least and he does have some selfish tendencies that need to be rectified. Furthermore, instead of settling for the jump shot, it would be nice to see him post up smaller defenders in the post and take advantage of his strength.
