(2025)- Trent Sisley to INDIANA

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

And Kevin Boyle's departure (I'm assuming it was unexpected) and a new coach just before Chipotle.  Who knows what impact that may have had on tonight's performance.

I agree.  It definitely didn’t help at all. MV lost 2 - 5 star juniors and 1 - 4 star junior, a head coach, 3 assistant coaches (2 were Boyle’s sons) fairly late in the season.  I don’t know any details but just making Chipotle was an accomplishment.

ESPN released its final ranking for the '25 class and Trent is #61.

Funny what a Montverde uni does to a player’s ranking, even in a down year.

Over rated?

Nah, just national recognition. If your good enough to start at Montverde over the past some years, it propels you.

Yep, he jumped from 99 to 91 simply by committing to Montverde.  lol.  Might tell you all you need to know about out the rankings.  Southwestern Indiana  gets minimal exposure nationally. When it’s all said and done, my bet is on Trent outperforming many of those ahead of him in the rankings.  I’m not saying he will dominate as a freshman at IU, but he will surprise some people and Hoosiers will appreciate his basketball IQ and ability to make winning plays.  He’s a grinder!  Time will tell …

No, not overrated. Strictly a function of visibility. I seem to recall, and I could have this wrong, but I believe last spring/early summer he was right around 100 on 247 maybe even slightly outside of it. But he goes to Montverde and the guys who ordinarily only see most of these kids on a super limited basis during travel season see him play big-time kids and belonging on that floor. Hence suddenly top 60 which is usually a kid you would expect to hit college in a rotation role. He wouldn’t be a lesser prospect if he’d hung at Heritage Hills, but he’d certainly be lower ranked.

From the Ball Is Life event.  Watch for Trent in the right corner.

From someone who coached him, Montverde was the best thing that happened to him. So much more explosive and quick than he use to be. Kid was always a gym rat and his dad/coaches at heritage hills did a nice job coaching and training him. But nothing like he got at Montverde.

Is he gonna play as  freshman? Of course we don’t know right now, but I would expect him to be a 4 defensively and that would give us the extra big people are pining for.

Bailey, Alexis, and Harris at the 5 and Devries, Sisley, Bailey at the 4 could be a thing.

I’m not sure honestly. He has grown tremendously in the last year from an athletic, quickness, and physical standpoint. He has a very nice skill set for a stretch 4 type of guy, especially one that will not be the vocal point of a scouting report. He will do a lot of the little things and does move without the ball well making reads, back cuts, and what not. I have my worries defensively and I didn’t get to watch many games at Montverde so that’s more from my perspective at heritage hills. Wasn’t that he was a bad defender but he didn’t “HAVE” to play it at heritage hills because he was just better than everyone else. So I figured he would grow a lot in that area once he got to college. So he can certainly grown into,or maybe already has, a plus defender. I’m also not trying to be a homer because it’s hard to stay biased about a kid I’ve taught, coached, and have known personally for awhile now.

Was that a Montverde coach or a former HS coach?

I may have misread your comment. Did you say you coached him before? I thought you were quoting someone who coached him. Did not realized that may have been you.

Yes I coached and worked with Trent through the grades. I think until he became a freshman then I got out of teaching and coaching for a better paying job
