Reporter's note: This is an informal rundown of the latest with Braxton Burmeister

Bigfoot. The Loch Ness monster. Chupacabra.

Braxton Burmeister's commitment?

After receiving an offer from the Oregon Ducks last week, Burmeister, a Rivals four-star quarterback and Arizona Wildcats commit, was expected to enroll early at either Oregon or Arizona in the coming days.

Instead, he and his family have gone radio silent with no end in sight.

So, what happened?

Tucson.com released an accurate timeline of events this week that follows along what I had been hearing.

This weekend, the 6-foot, 211-pound quarterback, out of La Jolla Country Day High School (California) told The Oregonian that he planned to choose between the Ducks and Wildcats in the coming days.

"I'm going to enroll early at either place," he said. "Enrolling at either sometime next week."

After that, several recruiting reporters released a timetable of Sunday or Monday for an announcement.

But none came.

During this time, sources close to Burmeister were predicting the Arizona quarterback pledge would flip his commitment to Oregon.

As time went on, however, Burmeister and his camp grew silent, leading to speculation he was (and remains) torn between the Wildcats and Ducks.

Stranger still, Arizona Daily Star reporter Zack Rosenblatt wrote Tuesday that Burmeister, an expected early enrollee, had not shown up with the rest of those anticipated on campus.

So, what do we know?

To put it simply, not much.

Neither Burmeister nor his family could be reached for comment.

With him going quiet and not enrolling at either campus, it's a fairly safe assumption that he remains in limbo regarding his future, particularly given that once-confident predictions have grown cold.

At this point, Burmeister could commit any minute or wait until Signing Day and elect not to enroll early at either school.

It's not much of an update, but that's where the Burmeister situation stands.
