Burley is down to three

Three-star athlete Phillip Burley took two official visits already to two of his leaders Kansas and Missouri in December. The 6-foot-5, 205-pounder out of Scurry (Texas) Scurry-Rosser has two more official visits coming up in the next couple weeks to SMU and Arizona, what are his thoughts going into those visits?
"I just scheduled a visit for SMU on January 6th," he said. "I like SMU because I think I can go in there and play in the offense pretty early, plus it's a good school that I can get a degree from.

"As for Arizona I'm not sure if I'll actually take that visit because I haven't heard from the coaches in a while and they aren't showing that much interest."
What does the No. 51 athlete in the country hope to see in Dallas?
"Basically I just want to go and see how it is there," he said. "I also want to see how I get along with the coaches and be sure what position I'd be playing if I went there."
Currently Burley's top three is SMU, Kansas and Missouri.
"I like Kansas and Missouri a lot because of the coaches and the offenses they run," he said. "They really need some playmakers and I feel I really fit into their schemes."
