Last week saw all of the top national talent in the class of 2025 in action at various events.
And starting on Thursday, college coaches were out for the first July live period.
All of that activity brought news as it relates to Indiana’s top targets in the rising senior class.
Priority 2025 guard Jalen Haralson has visits scheduled to Indiana, Notre Dame and Michigan State already, and he told Adam Zagoria this weekend he wants to expand that list to include Auburn, Duke, Kansas, Gonzaga and Purdue. Haralson has a top-nine that includes all of those schools. He wants to wrap up his recruitment before the November early signing period, so look for a busy next few months of visits.
IU coach Mike Woodson was in North August S.C. to watch Haralson at Peach Jam, according to multiple reports. The IU head coach also made stops during the live period at Adidas in Rock Hill, S.C. and at an event in Atlanta. His assistants were out at multiple locations as well.
Indiana’s biggest obstacle when it comes to 2025 center Malachi Moreno seems to be Kentucky. He told the Kentucky On3 outlet he’ll take an official visit to Lexington and his home-state school for their Big Blue Madness event in October. Moreno is scheduled to officially visit IU on Sept. 20 with Indiana Elite teammates Braylon Mullins and Trent Sisley. He told us last week those two were like brothers to him.
Priority 2025 target Braylon Mullins’ recruitment continued to get more challenging over the weekend, as he received offers from Duke and Arkansas. At this point IU is competing against every blue blood and others for the top-30 Greenfield, Ind. guard. He told On3’s Jamie Shaw he plans to narrow his list soon, and he’ll take around eight visits over the next few months and then likely decide on a college before the early signing period in November.

A newer hot in-state name in the class of 2025 is Jeffersonville power forward Tre Singleton. In just the last couple weeks, the 6-foot-8 Singleton has received offers from Louisville, Clemson, Butler, DePaul and Northwestern. At a minimum, he’s a name to know for IU, as members of the Hoosiers staff saw him in action this weekend for at least two games I attended. Singleton has a great motor along with very good footwork in the paint. We’ll see where it goes.
2025 5-star forward Nate Ament has a recruitment very much like Mullins, with literally all of the blue bloods chasing him. He spoke with League Ready this week about what’s going on with his process:
