The father of Michigan point guard Trey Burke is disputing a CBS Sports report that his son is declaring for the NBA Draft by declaring his son hasn't yet left the Wolverines. He's using everyone's favorite platform to dispute published reports:
Trey Burke has not declared for the NBA draft. He is still enrolled at the University of Michigan.

If Burke is indeed turning pro, it would be the second consecutive year Michigan has lost its point guard to the NBA. In the 2011-'12 season, Burke averaged 14.8 points, 4.6 assists and 3.5 rebounds after replacing Darius Morris, who left early at the end of the 2010-'11 season.
Three Michigan players have transfered out of the program since the Wolverines' first-round exit in the NCAA Tournament ended a 24-10 campaign. Despite the attrition, Michigan is considered a dark horse Final Four pick next season due to a loaded incoming freshman class.
