Woodson on Sisley:

“Trent is a young man that we have prioritized for a long time. He is the ideal player for me and my staff. He is a long, rangy, versatile player that can do a lot of things for us on the basketball floor. He is switchable on defense, a very good rebounder, and possesses a level of toughness that was very attractive to us in the recruiting process.

“Offensively, he has the ability to play multiple positions, push the ball in transition, make shots from the perimeter, and take advantage of mismatches inside. Hoosier Nation will love Trent’s competitiveness and desire to win. We are extremely excited to get Trent to Bloomington to reunite him with his siblings who already attend IU and be a part of our basketball family.”
