Indiana University (IU) basketball continues to gain momentum in its 2025 recruiting class following the commitment of rising star Trent Sisley and the recent announcement by fellow top recruit Jalen Haralson. The landscape of IU’s future roster is shaping up, and head coach Mike Woodson is positioning the program as a serious contender for elite talent.
Trent Sisley, a 6-foot-7 forward from Heritage Hills High School in Indiana, committed to IU in late September 2023. Ranked among the top players in the state and nationally, Sisley brings a versatile game to Bloomington. His skill set includes the ability to score from the perimeter, attack the basket, and defend multiple positions. With his commitment, IU lands a cornerstone player for the future, showcasing the program’s ability to secure local talent.
Jalen Haralson, a highly coveted 6-foot-7 guard from Fishers, Indiana, recently announced his top-six schools, and IU is still firmly in the mix. Haralson, a top-10 national prospect, possesses a dynamic offensive skill set and is one of the most sought-after recruits in the 2025 class. His inclusion of Indiana in his shortlist reflects the program’s growing appeal to high-profile players.
Woodson’s recruiting efforts are focused on building a powerhouse roster that can compete at the highest levels of college basketball. Sisley’s early commitment, combined with the potential addition of Haralson, signals that IU is becoming a major player in the recruitment of top-tier talent. As the 2025 recruiting class takes shape, the Hoosiers are positioned to return to national prominence, continuing to draw top prospects who see Indiana as a program on the rise.
