"Amath's a terrific talent with the versatility to play both inside and outside. He's a high-level athlete who's long and rangy and can score in a lot of different ways. We played against Amath at UNLV and got to see how good of a player he is on both ends of the floor." - Lon Kruger

"The number one thing with Casey is that he's a great kid. As stereotypes go, he's more of a Midwestern type guy. So I knew he would just love Norman and would love Oklahoma. His teammates are going to like him, he's as humble as heck and he's fun to root for. He's one of those kind of guys." - Sierra head coach John Fusano (http://www.soonersports.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/042811aab.html) Other schools considered:
Colorado, Washington State
