Last week witnessed the full display of top national talent from the class of 2025 at various events, marking the beginning of the July live period where college coaches were actively scouting prospects.
Indiana’s top targets in the rising senior class made significant strides during these events. Priority guard Jalen Haralson, aiming to finalize his recruitment before the November early signing period, has lined up visits to Indiana, Notre Dame, and Michigan State, with plans to expand his list to include Auburn, Duke, Kansas, Gonzaga, and Purdue. Coach Mike Woodson personally scouted Haralson at Peach Jam in North Augusta, S.C., while his assistants covered multiple locations including Adidas in Rock Hill, S.C., and an event in Atlanta.
Meanwhile, Indiana’s pursuit of center Malachi Moreno faces strong competition from Kentucky, with Moreno scheduling an official visit to Lexington for their Big Blue Madness event in October, following an official visit to IU on September 20 alongside teammates Braylon Mullins and Trent Sisley.
Braylon Mullins, a top-30 guard from Greenfield, Ind., saw his recruitment intensify over the weekend with offers from Duke and Arkansas, adding to his already competitive list that includes IU and other elite programs. Mullins plans to narrow down his options soon and undertake a series of visits before deciding on a college ahead of the early signing period.
Another rising prospect is Jeffersonville power forward Tre Singleton, who has recently garnered offers from Louisville, Clemson, Butler, DePaul, and Northwestern. Singleton’s impressive performance, noted for his strong motor and polished skills in the paint, has drawn interest from IU, with Hoosiers staff members observing him closely during recent games.
Five-star forward Nate Ament, much like Mullins, is being heavily pursued by top-tier programs nationwide. He discussed his recruitment process with League Ready, providing insights that will be further explored in upcoming coverage from the Adidas 3SSB finals.
