Milos Uzan, 2022 4-star, cuts list to 8

Milos Uzan, a 6-foot-4 point guard out of Las Vegas (Nev.) Desert Pines tells On3 he is down to eight schools – UNLV, Arizona State, Oklahoma, Creighton, USC, Cal, Utah, and St. Mary’s.

Uzan has officially visited Creighton and St. Mary’s so far. He also has three future official visits set. He’ll be at Utah on Sept. 3, Oklahoma on Sept. 11, and Cal on Oct. 1. An official visit to UNLV will also be set up. Uzan says he will probably take an unofficial visit to Arizona State in the near future. An unofficial visit to USC is also a possibility.

Milos Uzan discussed each option with On3.

“I think it would be pretty special (to stay home),” Uzan said. “All your friends and your people could come to the games. I feel like it’s cooler to play close to home. I like their coaching staff. I went on an unofficial the other day. They have nice facilities too. It hasn’t been packed in a long time, so it would be cool to be the reason why you know and get some wins.”

“I like Bobby (Hurley),” Uzan said. “He was a former point guard in the league. I feel like I could learn a lot from him. Once he saw me play…he was pretty excited about me. So when you feel that energy, it feels good. It’s PAC-12 and close to home.”

“They came later in the process,” Uzan said. “I like (Porter) Moser though. He seems like a pretty cool dude. He FaceTimes me a lot. They seem like they really need a point guard. If I had to come up with a top four or something, they would probably be in it. I think their assistant coach (KT) Turner really likes me. He’s always telling me how good of a coach Porter is and how much he develops his players. I feel like that’s important to me as well.”

“I went on a visit there,” Uzan said. “I like (Greg) McDermott. They have a really nice campus.”

“My oldest brother, Julian Jacobs, went there,” Uzan said. “So I know a lot about them. Andy (Enfield) has been recruiting me. He’s a cool dude. They went pretty far into the tournament this past year. I think they might be my last visit.”

Uzan on Cal

“(Mark) Fox coached my AAU coach at UNR (University of Nevada-Reno),” Uzan said. “My AAU coach always talks highly about him. He told me the two guys he had on his team, ended up going to the league. They would definitely be in the (top) four mix as well.”

Uzan on Utah

“I like coach (Craig) Smith,” Uzan said. “The assistant coach grew up with my dad…coach (DeMarlo) Slocum. They went to high school together. So he’s pretty much like family. I heard they have a pretty nice facility up there. I think if you go to Salt Lake, there’s pretty much only basically around you so you can’t get sidetracked.”

” I really like coach (Randy) Bennett,” Uzan said. “And coach (Mickey) McConnell. They’re cool people. I like talking to them.”
