Interesting move as Mitty's Nigel Burris moves to the 2022 class but remains a 2021 qualifier. He will playing with the Prolfic Select team this fall/winter
Nigel Burris reclassifies to 2022
- Thread starter Streak One
- Start date
He won’t be able to play a high school next year. I think it’s a fair assumption that he will play on prolific select this year and prolific prep the year after.
Would be funny if you reported that he was transferring back to Stuart Hall and see you know who's reaction.
I wonder who you could possibly be talking about?
So Nigel has 1 more year of CIF eligibility. 2 at SHHS 1 at Mitty. Like others have said, I think the Plan is for him to play this season at Mitty and then next season either at Prolific or SCA. Those will probably be the two he considers.
Overall, Nigel was young for the class of 2021, but hell be a little old for 2022. Hoping he uses this time to put himself in the proper position (especially academically) to earn a really nice scholarship.
I assume the primary reason is to hopefully get a full summer of AAU next year for exposure. assuming he has suitors to his liking then, don't be surprised if he reclasses back to 2021 and never does the prep year after all...
Agree with @TwitterLegend
Right or wrong, this is about increasing options. Move the clock back a year and see if the right school comes into the pricture. If they come in this year, then he stays in 2021 as scheduled.
Austin Patterson of Sonora did this last year too. Might be the new thing

I mean everyone does not want to play in the irrelevant WCC. Outside of Gonzaga you have to be almost perfect to get a bid.
Bids ain’t everything... Free education cuz you can hoop... Good schools, too.
And the conference is stronger than it has been for a long time, at least near the top.
Believe it or not, the NBA and other pro leagues pay attention to players in non-Power 5 conferences.

Bids are not everything to the schools who have no shot. But then again they are everything or you should not be playing Division 1 basketball. Free education comes no matter what school you are at WCC or ACC. Good schools are in the Big 10 and Big East as well. So if you have a chance to get to UNC, Duke, KU, UK, UCLA, USC, Syracuse, Villanova and so on. Opposed to Portland why not? You take the extra year. The same WCC schools will be calling even a year later.
I wasn’t arguing your point completely... I was just saying that a player isn’t garbage just because big 5 schools didn’t offer.
20 years ago I would agree with you. The NCAA scene is so much different today. In addition to power Gonzaga, St Mary’s, USF, and heck Pepperdine has Romer coaching them who had coached plenty of pros. Jordan Ford wasn’t irrelevant and he will play in the league. I’m just saying it’s an option and if Nigel is good enough he will start right away and make A name for himself.
5 years ago st marys won almost 30 games and didnt get in. Jordan Ford will get a shot but still the league is not good on the terms of NCAA tournament at large good. That is all I mean. As for getting a scholarship to one of them. That takes work and it aint easy.
I agree. I know how hard it is to get a scholarship to even the lowest of D1 schools.
Prolific Prep only has 9th - 12th grade kids - 8 semesters, so Nigel can't play at Prolific Prep as a 5th year senior.
Prolific Prep has a post-grad / gap year program called Golden State Prep.
Prolific Prep does not take 5th year kids.
Nigel has the flexibility to go 2021 with his class or 2022 in the class after depending on what is on the table for him.
Gives him flexibility to do both, especially with virtually a non-existent AAU Spring and Summer 2020 and a scaled back HS season 2020-2021 of recruiting due to NCAA restructuring their calendar due to COVID-19.
