Indiana is one of eight finalists for class of 2025 top-35 center Malachi Moreno, Joe Tipton of On3 is reporting.
The 7-footer from Georgetown, Ky. will also consider Arkansas, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisville, North Carolina, Notre Dame, and Ohio State.
Indiana offered Moreno in 2022, and he has been a priority recruit since. He plays for the Indiana Elite 2025 Adidas 3SSB team along with fellow IU targets Trent Sisley and Braylon Mullins.
Moreno was the ringleader for the concept of taking an official visit to IU the same weekend as Sisley and Mullins, which they will all three do so beginning on Sept. 20.
As part of a perfect 13-0 run by Indiana Elite in Adidas games this spring, Moreno averaged 13.7 ppg, 9.2 rpg, 2.4 bpg, and shot 64.4% from the field.
The Great Crossing H.S. big man is a 4-star recruit according to the On3 Industry Average, and the No. 32 overall player and No. 1 center in the class.
