Ian Miletic making a name for himself in the 2025 class, talks recruitment
Rolling Meadows looks like they have another blossoming star on the way in 2025 rising junior, Ian Miletic.
The 6-foot-7 wing has been coming out strong as of late, having multiple 25-point games and asserting himself as a high-level recruit in the 2025 class.
Miletic is averaging 22 points and 11 rebounds per game, including shooting splits of 50% on his three balls and near the same for his field goals overall.
Many viewed him as an Ivy League prospect to begin this season, stating he might only be able to play at that level. With major size and his ability to be a long, versatile shooter, Miletic has shown he is a guy who can play in any Power Five conference.
His recruitment has picked up as of late. He recently took an unofficial visit to Marquette and has also picked up a recent offer from in-state power, in Illinois.
This is a guy that is starting to pick up steam now, and I think it will translate to Spring ball for AAU. Miletic is a prospect I presume will be on breakout watch over the next few months for 2025 prospects.
He was able to get with Stockrisers.com and we discussed his recruitment and the development of his game.

I’m looking forward to taking advantage of all the opportunities to grow and learn more about my game.
