    The hope is for Casey and Washington to train this summer with a guy in the suburbs who now, mainly, trains a few guys in the NBA and at least 5-6 guys that play major, major conference basketball. He also trains a small slew of kids who play/ plan to play in Europe. 

    Myself and said trainer have tried to get Casey and Washington to join this group of guys. Not a short hike from where Washington lives. Same, to a degree, for Casey. 

    But, just thought I'd mention that because it's always easier to get a feel for the talent of certain guys in more private settings. This past summer we had Blake Wesley come by. Many other guys that many of you know. 

    As for Indiana and Washington...

    - The earlier knee injury has kept him off-the-radar a bit with some of the more higher-profile "names" in college basketball. Not too many seem as eager to jump in on a kid who has already had an ACL and they don't have a ton of film on. Of course, a big AAU season could change that. He's been getting better and better and better throughout his HS season. 

    - I think he projects to be a perfect stretch-4 type. I think he's a pretty good shooter. He isn't a knockdown, 40% long-range bomber. But, he is really quite good at it especially when you consider his size. 

    - Because of the knee he'll constantly need to show he can play defense away from the basket. I don't view it as a long-term problem. I think he can be groomed into a pretty big-time defender. 

    - Recruiting-wise I think Stanford looms as an interesting dark horse at current writing. But, I'd handicap it that he'll probably end up with one of the three Big Ten schools who are really going to be on him. IU, PU, MSU. 

    I wanted to chime in because Milehi had asked months ago to reconsider posting on the board. It's not something I've totally cared to do (especially elsewhere) but... anyway. 

    Thanks as always, Sam. We appreciate your insight.

    Personally, I think he’s better than his ranking. I see a really good 4-year guy, who eventually could have a chance to score around 15 ppg as an upperclassmen.

    A similar trajectory that we’re currently seeing Armaan on, who I think could be All-B1G in the next two years.

    Good scorer, very athletic, good shot, and he really cares about playing defense. I like a lot of what I see here. Will be super happy if we get him.
