Late to the conversation obviously. But Burks was a senior in 1998. Derron Parquet actually played some in the same backfield. He was a sophmore at the time.
I personally don't think there was any question Burks was better. They both ran for over 2000 yards in high school. But Parquet was more of a finesse, speed guy(compared to Michael). He didn't hate running out of bounds. Not Mario Bates, but still. Burks was a do everything. A real workhorse. He of course went on to start at Auburn as a true freshman.
Two of the best backs I've seen in person were Michael Burks and Jonathan Wells.

Rummel came prepared to play and took it to us. We really didn't have an answer and Rummel was absolutely keying on LF. Even so, he still did his thing.
