Looks lik our foundation of relationships is gonna be put to test quickly if he thinks hes gonna wear Zaide's number.

Might decommit once he realizes this

[Uncle Rico]

Good job, 4elder! 

[We R Final Four]

This is great news!

Gard shot his shot and missed

He also had a Illinois offer. Good start for 2 years from now.

The Sun-Times must have gotten the scoop from the Miletic family on this one. It's an impressive article with quotes a full 10 minutes before Ben Steele came out with a bare bones article. Must be fun for a High School basketball writer to get to write an article like this that'll get picked up by a different audience.

Edit: The Sun-Times is owned by NPR now, so if you get a popup all they ask for is your email address. It's fo free.

Saw the "Relationships. Growth. Victory." posted on the Gram so rushed here to see who committed.

Great get for Shaka!

Tweets aren't in order on twitter anymore, the platform is pretty broken if you don't have an account. I just see stuff from 2020 and 2021.

Awesome News Welcome Ian Miletic

Did Gard miss on another silent verbal?  🤔

[4everwarriors]

Good job, 4elder!

Even a broken clock is right twice a day, aina?

[wadesworld]

Hell yeah. Got ourselves a shooter.

[Jockey]

Good job, 4elder!

I think he is in mourning today, Unc.

[Markusquette]

Was hoping he would commit. Great addition.

[cheebs09]

[Shooter McGavin]

Looks like a great pick up.  Welcome Ian!

[CountryRoads]

Great news. Think this will be a monster class.

Huh? Switch your feed to "following" instead of " for you"

[tower912]

He is the wing this class needed.  Shooter with size.  He and Owens will complement each other nicely at the 3 after Joplin graduates.   
   With the size Shaka is signing, it is clear that he wants to have 3 guards as an option, not his base.  Hopefully, playing only two guards improves the rebounding, too.

Two dynamic guards, please.

If you don't have a twitter account, twitter doesn't work. It just shows ancient stuff.

Delete twitter.

[Tyler COLEk]

Another great signing from Shaka. The future is radiant.

[Jay Bee]

Another great signing from Shaka. The future is radiant.

Nothing has been signed.

[PointWarrior]

Nothing has been signed.

Nothing official until Shaka hands him his bag of money in exchange for his commitment to attend Marquette.

[Tyler COLEk]

Nothing has been signed.

"Signing" as in the "young man" has "signed on" to Shaka's vision.

What’s he doing taking a long 2 in that photo? Shaka must break him of that nonsense.

I hate to overhype but when I see a very long, lefty dribble the length of the court and dunk in traffic on one play and then drain three’s on the next play… I can’t help but think of Toni Kukoc.  The Eastern European name just adds more fuel to the fire for the correct player comparison. 🤷‍♂️

Another very good prospect. Congrats on the staff for targeting and getting so many recruits with very high ceilings. 👏

They’re definitely both crackers

Great. So he’s just like a guy who failed to ever score a point in a college basketball game.

Thanks for the video. Nice looking shot.

[Scoop Snoop]

Thanks for the video. Nice looking shot.

I enjoyed the video. Especially seeing him shoot FTs.

Thanks NCMU.

[GOO]

I was really hoping that he’d commit. Seems like a great fit. It will be nice to have a taller shooter who can also move. Obviously he will need to get stronger. But should be able to help out as a freshman.

Shouldn't Hamilton be Green in 24-25 and Blue in 23-24?

Yes.

Oops, yes.  This is why I need proofreaders...

I totally missed this!  BAM!!

Did Gard miss on another silent verbal?  🤔

No, he just missed............. again..........

[Captain Quette]

Nice YouTube clip. He reminds me of Baylor Scheirman from Creighton with a bit more athleticism. Release point on J is high with good follow through. That plus his size should allow him to get his shot off in BE. Well done by coaching staff.

[Pakuni]

I know one of Ian's teachers.
Says he's a really good kid, pretty soft-spoken and works hard in the classroom. Reminds him, personality wise, of another former student, Max Christie.

[GoFastAndWin]

Just want to reiterate what I saw when attending the Glenbrook North at Rolling Meadows game this past winter. This kid is a heck of an athlete and shooter. More importantly, the thing that stood out was how great a teammate he was. When someone’s attitude or body language was down, he was the first guy to go over to lift them up and encourage them. He had such a feel for the ebb and flow of the game. A perfect culture fit for MU!

Great to hear.  Thanks to Pak and GFAW for the information.  Sounds like we got a good one.  Love bringing shooting on board.
