Former Michigan star Trey Burke hinted that the university might consider retiring his No. 3 jersey. Burke played two years with the Wolverines before entering the 2013 NBA draft.
During an episode of the "Politely RAW" podcast, released on Tuesday, Burke remained coy on the possibility of receiving a major honor from Michigan at Crisler Center.
"I was told not to say anything, but yes. I'm sure they aren't going to be upset when they see ... I'm glad you asked it, because I wasn't gonna say anything," Burke said when asked about any communication with Michigan retiring his jersey.
“I have heard that it will happen. It will happen. Bucket list for me. I appreciate everything that university … I appreciate them, they appreciate everything they did for me and my family as well." Burke said.
Michigan has "retired" one basketball jersey, while four others are “honored.” Cazzie Russell’s No. 33 is the only jersey retired and can’t be worn by players. The Wolverines have also honored No. 22 Bill Buntin, No. 35 Phil Hubbard, No. 41 Glen Rice and No. 45 Rudy Tomjanovich.
Burke, who plays for the Guangdong Southern Tigers in China, might soon join the elite group of former players at UM.
