Miletic had a breakout junior year with Rolling Meadows High School this past season. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the rising senior averaged 19.5 points per game and 8.5 rebounds per game en route to being named to the all-state honorable mention team. The crafty wing also shot the ball very well from deep, hitting his three-pointers at a 45 percent clip.
Miletic had Division I offers from Illinois and DePaul as well. Miletic took his official visit to Marquette last week arriving on Tuesday and staying up until Thursday. In a recent interview with League Ready, Miletic talked about some of the things that stood out to him on his visit.
“I had a great experience down there with me and my family, and they took care of us very well,” Miletic said. “With Marquette you have the relationship side of things, I’ve gotten to know coach Smart pretty well, along with coach [Neill] Berry, who reached out to me first.
“I got to know the players, spend some time with them and have some memories. It was a good all-around experience to see what it would be like if I went to the campus and played for Marquette basketball.”
