In this article, we’ll take a closer look at some of the latest developments in college basketball recruitment, including the signing of Anthony Batson Jr. by Stanford and the recruitment of Trent Sisley by Indiana.
Stanford Signs Anthony Batson Jr.
Stanford’s men’s basketball program has announced the signing of Anthony Batson Jr., a 6-3 guard from Notre Dame Preparatory School in Scottsdale, Arizona. Batson is a consensus three-star player who finished his senior campaign with averages of 22.1 points and 6.3 rebounds per game while shooting 62 percent from the floor and 45 percent from beyond the 3-point arc.
“Anthony is a dynamic scorer. He makes threes and he possesses an athletic burst which enables him to play at and above the rim. His length and explosiveness should provide us with a defensive playmaker on the perimeter as well,” said Stanford head coach Kyle Smith.
Batson joins the Cardinal as the fourth member of the freshman class of 2024, along with Evan Stinson, Tallis Toure, and Donavin Young.
Trent Sisley’s Recruitment Heats Up
Trent Sisley, a 6-7 small forward from Heritage Hills High School in Santa Claus, Indiana, is one of the top recruits in the class of 2025. Sisley has already taken official visits to Purdue and Indiana, and has scheduled visits to Notre Dame and Michigan State for later this fall.
Sisley averaged 13.8 points and 6.6 rebounds per game while shooting 56% from the field overall and 44% from long range in 13 Adidas 3SSB contests this spring. He is considered a top priority for Indiana’s recruitment class, and his decision is expected to be made before the start of his senior season.
IUPUI Women’s Basketball Adds Transfer Tamori Plantin
