On Burns - The Terps' top returning scorer and rebounder and their most likely candidate for post-season honors ... he narrowly missed earning recognition as All-ACC last season and is certainly a viable candidate as a senior ... he is the ACC's No. 5 returning scorer and its No. 7 returning rebounder ... behind his easy-going, effervescent personality is a determined, intense competitor, who is among the league's strongest players ... with increased work in the weight room and on conditioning, he could develop into one of the most punishing players in the league ... he will see action at both the power forward and center positions ... he runs the floor well and has good hands for his size ... a lefty, he also has an accurate shooting touch from 15 feet ... his baseline turnaround jumper became his signature shot last season.
As a Junior - Started all 29 games ... he averaged 15.9 points and 7.1 rebounds a game. his scoring total was second on the team and 10th best in the ACC, while his rebounding was tops for the Terps and 10th overall in the league ... he scored in double figures in all but two contests, leading the team in scoring three times ... he led the team in rebounding 13 times ... he totaled five double-doubles (points-rebounds) ... finished the year in style, scoring a career-high 25 points in the season finale against Duke in the ACC Tournament ... in fact, he was playing his best ball of the season as the year closed ... he scored 20 or more points in six games, including three of the last five of the season ... his career-high 15 rebounds vs. Clemson was the most by a Terp in 1991-92 ... he led the team in field goal accuracy, shooting 51.6 percent, the eighth-best percentage in the ACC ... he shot 50 percent or better in 17 games, 60 percent or better nine times, and 70 percent or better on three occasions ... he was one of four Terps who played more than 900 total minutes .
As a Sophomore - Played in all 28 games, starting two ... he averaged 7.7 points and 3.7 rebounds, the sixth best average on the team ... he shot 43.7 percent from the field and 56.8 percent from the line ... his 26 steals on the year was the fourth best total on the team ... he scored in double figures seven times, including a season-high 16 point effort in Maryland's EC AC Holiday Festival win over Rutgers ... his 14-point, eight-rebound effort against Georgia Tech v\/as a key reason for the Terps upset win ... the eight boards against Tech led the team and he also had team-high rebounding honors against UMBC with eight ..
As a Freshman - Saw the most playing time of any freshman during the 1989-90 campaign. he played in 28 games and averaged 4.3 points and 2.7 rebounds a game ... both of those averages were sixth best on the team ... he shot .543 from the field and was perfect from three-point distance (1-1) ... he worked hard at both ends of the floor, grabbing 31 offensive rebounds and 44 defensive .
High School - Played at Woodlawn High School ... he was a two-sport prep star, excelling as a basketball forward/center and a football tight end. as a senior in 1988-89, he led WHS to a 20-3 record and a berth in the state tournament semifinals ... during his sophomore and junior seasons, Woodlawn advanced to the regional semifinals ... as a senior, he averaged 16 points, 8.5 rebounds and three blocks per game, earning all-Baltimore County and all-Met by the Baltimore Sun and honorable mention All- America honors ... he shot 52 percent from the field and 86 percent from the line ... while his basketball numbers were Impressive, his football totals were even more outstanding ... he played both ways for the Woodlawn football team, as a tight end and defensive end ... on offense, he had 29 receptions for 15 touchdowns and averaged just over 20 yards per catch as a senior ... those numbers earned him football prep All- America honors and had him coveted by a number of powerhouse college football programs ... not surprisingly, he was Woodlawn's Outstanding Male Athlete .
Personal - Born August 24, 1971 ... his full name is Evers Allen Burns ... currently he is following a business curriculum ... Evers father, Emmett, is the National Life Membership Director of the NAACP in Baltimore ... his older brother, Emmett, Jr., played fullback at Temple and his brother, Engel, attended Howard University ... his cousin is former Maryland great Len Elmore.
