This is a real serious question. Is there any team on the AAU circuit that has had a better spring than Indiana Elite 2025? A squad that has multiple, key 2025 Indiana basketball targets, Indiana Elite 2025 has dominated all three Adidas 3SSB sessions in the spring and are a legit force to cut down the nets in Rock Hill, South Carolina this July.
As it stands right now, Indiana Elite 2025 is 13-0 in the Adidas 3SSB Circuit.
This team is stacked from top-to-bottom with high-caliber Division 1 prospects. A trio of those prospects happen to be key 2025 Indiana basketball targets, four-stars Braylon Mullins, Trent Sisley, and Malachi Moreno. All three players by this time are well-known by Hoosier Nation.
While we know about the team success that Indiana Elite 2025 is having this AAU season, it is also important to focus on the individual success that Mullins, Sisley, and Moreno are each having as well.
Starting with 2025 four-star guard Braylon Mullins….is there a single prospect out there that had a better spring than him? Like seriously, Mullins, who attends Greenfield-Central High School (IN) is putting up insane numbers of 20.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game. He is also shooting an outstanding 96-of-172 (55.8%) from the field which includes 50-of-96 (52.1%) from three. His play this spring has seen his offers list grow at a rapid pace with Schools such as Missouri Purdue, North Carolina, Kansas, Stanford, and Tennessee recently extending offers. Schools such as Indiana basketball, Michigan, Notre Dame, Cincinnati, and even defending national champion UConn remain involved, as well.
“Mullins saw offers from North Carolina and Purdue come his way and it was for great reason,” said 247Sports Brandon Jenkins after the 3SSB Live Period. “A 6-foot-5 shooting guard, Mullins shot lights out from deep with an extremely quick release. He projects well as a movement shooter and brings added value with his ability to get off the floor. UConn is rumored to be on the verge of offering as Dan Hurley was present for a couple of his games this weekend.”
How about another in-state prospect that is having an incredible spring for Indiana Elite. 2025 four-star forward Trent Sisley has been a name that has been on the radar of Indiana basketball the longest, even before he played a single high school game. The Heritage Hills High School (IN) product elected to play his final season of AAU ball with Indiana Elite and it was a great decision. In 13 games, Sisley is averaging 13.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.2 assists. He is shooting 72-of-120 (60.0%) from the field.
“Sisley brought a tremendous amount of energy to the floor,” Brandon Jenkins added. “He was wired to get balls off the glass and did not hesitate to finish plays above the rim. A staff member from each of his suitors was present on the sidelines as Iowa, Indiana, Michigan State, Notre Dame, and Purdue will all be in the mix for his commitment.”
Moving down to the post now for this Indiana Elite 2025 team, how about we talk about 7-foot center Malachi Moreno. He has been one of the top impact bigs at this level all spring and has really dominated in the post for Indiana Elite along with his frontcourt mates of Trent Sisley and 2025 power forward Dezmon Briscoe. In 13 games, Moreno has put up 13.5 points on 75-of-115 (65.2%) shooting. He has also added 8.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, as well. Along with schools such as Indiana basketball. Kentucky, Tennessee, Notre Dame, and others that have always remained interested, the big man has also added offers from Louisville, Illinois, and most recently North Carolina.
“Ranked No. 31 overall, Moreno is a true big who is still in a raw stage of his development but has improved drastically since watching him this time last year,” Jenkins added about Moreno. “He has great size and stays true to getting up the floor, setting screens, and scoring around the basket. His touch has improved but still has ways to go in that area of his game. All the signs point towards him being an impact big man who will progress each year at the collegiate level. The Georgetown (Ky.) native earned an offer from North Carolina after a successful four-game showing.”
It will be extremely difficult, but if Mike Woodson and Indiana basketball were able to land all three of these players, the Hoosiers would instantly have a top 2025 recruiting class.
Below are some spring highlights from Indiana basketball targets Braylon Mullins, Trent Sisley, and Malachi Moreno.
