Trent Sisley Stays Put as Indiana Looks Ahead
Trent Sisley is the only scholarship player from Indiana’s 2025‑26 roster who has decided to stay, a rarity in a year when the rest of the class entered the transfer portal. He benefited from individualized coaching and training tailored to his needs during the offseason, a factor that helped him showcase early promise.
During the team's 7‑0 start he posted averages of 9.6 points and 5.1 rebounds per game, highlighted by a game‑winning free throw in a double‑overtime 98‑97 victory over UCLA.
A Quiet Commitment Amid Roster Turnover
Midseason his playing time dwindled, with the sophomore logging less than ten minutes in nine of Indiana's final eleven contests, yet he never contemplated entering the transfer portal despite the mass exodus of talent.
Now focused on both ends of the floor, Sisley says he is refining his defensive positioning and expanding his offensive repertoire, eager to make a larger impact when the new campaign begins.
He also looks forward to welcoming new teammates to campus and is optimistic about the future of the program.
