2009 BU commitment- Milos Knezevic

Today's game is just completed, and Milos scored 18 points in a 68-56
win over Bakersfield (CA) Christian.
Milos hit 2 3-pointers and was reportedly again 4-4 on FT's.
 
Liberty moves to the semifinals of their bracket in the tournament. They play next on Monday night, 7 pm (PST) against El Toro of Lake Forest, California.
 
Liberty HS won their semifinal game Monday night over El Toro HS 64-54.

Milos had 14 points, 2 three pointers, and 6-6 from the free throw line. He fouled out of the game.

Liberty now moves to the championship game of their bracket of the Torrey Pines Invitational in San Diego against Folsom High School, from the Sacramento area.
 
Is Milos scoring inside, outside or both? Is he a true 3 point threat or does he score more from mid range? Also, does anyone know what type of defense his team plays?
 
I haven't seen him, but I have heard that he shoots the three well, averages a couple per game, and may be the best three point shooter on his team. He also has good ball-handling skills, and brings the ball up the court sometimes when other teams pressure man-to-man.
 
Da Coach said:
It is similar to the large class schools in Illinois. There are a lot of Division I players at those Las Vegas high schools.

While the size of the schools may be similar to the 4A schools in Illinois, the quality of competition is considerably less than what is in Illinois. In this senior class, not counting Findlay Prep, there are only three sure D1 prospects and they are already signed, a highly ranked G going to Memphis, a highly ranked G staying home to UNLV and Milos. In the current junior class there are only one or two. Producing these type of numbers for basketball prospects (3-5) is typical for the area. I'm not sure if you'd call that "a lot" compared to the number of D1 prospects in Illinois 4A.

For 30 schools ranging from 1200 - 2000+ students each in a population base of nearly 2 million people, the quality of competition and athlete isn't what you'd expect in the Vegas Valley. I've lived out here for many years and follow high school sports through the papers here reasonably well. I had no idea who Darian Norris was until he signed with Bradley.

The growth Vegas has had the past 10 - 15 years has made the school district build several new schools. There isn't the stability and organization at the new and old schools to foster the development you see in the Illinois schools. Until the growth stabilizes, which due to the economy it seems to be, churning out the number and quality of prospects similar to Illinois is a long way off.

Milos' team is now out of the playoffs in Nevada.
But today, Milos was named to the first team All-region (Sunset region).

The high schools in the Las Vegas/Henderson area are divided into the Sunrise region (east) and the Sunset region (west).

Congratulations Milos!

The MVP of the Sunset region is a former teammate of Darian Norris, Anthony Marshall, a kid that Bradley recruited. He is committed to UNLV. This article mentions Milos' award, and also mentions Darian Norris.--
