Recruiting Report Jimmy Burma (2016)

<h2>October 5th Update</h2><p>Sioux Falls O’Gorman is one of the South Dakota Class AA favorites this winter because they have so much talented and experienced players returning from the previous season.  One of those players is 6-foot-3 small forward <strong>Jimmy Burma.</strong></p> <p>“I think we look pretty good,” said Burma recently about how his team looks less than two months before the start of the season.  “I hope we do well and make it to the state tournament.”</p> <p>Jimmy prepared for the season playing with Schoolers Daly as he was a key contributor to the blue collar squad that was ranked number one in the final 17U PHD rankings.</p> <p>“I think this season helped me grow a lot,” Burma said about his time with the Schoolers.  “I felt like my defensive game really improved and just being a more aggressive player.”</p> <p>Burma will have the chance to play college basketball and there are two schools after him the most right now.</p> <p>“Mount Marty and Concordia Moorhead,” said Burma of the main schools following him.</p> <h2>May 29th Update</h2><p><strong>Jimmy Burma</strong> is yet another 2016 talent at Sioux Falls O”Gorman that had an impact as a junior and should have a large impact as a senior.  The 6-foot-3 Burma was the leading scorer off the Knights bench towards the end of the year scoring on 43 percent of his shots.</p> <p>Burma has now joined up with teammates Antonio Casiello and Ethan French on the Schoolers Daly team and after four events the year has gone well.   They’ve won about half their games and have wins over local teams Schoolers Muellers, North Dakota Phenom, and South Dakota Heat West.</p> <p>“It has been a blast playing for Coach Matt Daly, he&#39;s a great coach,” said Burma.  “I hope we come together and play well as a team, offensively and defensively and I hope I can grow as a player on both sides of the ball.”</p> <p>The Schoolers are off now until the end of June when they play in the Great Plains Alliance event in St. Cloud but Daly has things he wants to improve on playing with his teammates in practice as well as during some of his team events.</p> <p>“I would like to get better at finishing around the rim and just get better all around on defensive end,” said Burma.</p> <p>Jimmy’s game has been better every weekend we watched.  PHD saw him play in Omaha and liked what we saw and college coaches must of liked the way he played in the ECI Invitational because he’s heard from schools since.</p> <p>“Mount Marty has been in contact and the Concordia College (Moorhead) coaches talked to me after our tournament in Fargo,” said Burma.</p>
