In a new series, we give you an in-depth breakdown of every member of Indiana basketball incoming recruiting class. Up next, Trey Galloway.
Trey Galloway and Archie Miller have a lot in common. Both of them have relationships with their brothers that have shaped their lives, both of them are fiercely competitive, and most distinctively, both of them grew up playing basketball as the son of prominent high school basketball coaches.
This fact was one that Miller repeated to Galloway on the recruiting trail and it was one that stuck in his mind through the day he committed. Galloway and Miller are very similar people with similar backgrounds and according to Galloway, that was a driving factor behind his commitment to Indiana.
Galloway grew up in Indiana and played his high school basketball at The Culver Academies where his dad, Mark, was the coach. Galloway and his dad together as a father-son duo won the Indiana basketball state championship with Culver back in Galloway’s sophomore year.
He was a star on that championship team and immediately started gaining national recruiting attention as he flew into 247’s top 75 after his team won the title. In fact, Purdue offered Galloway halfway through that season but he knew better than to pay them any attention.
For the rest of his high school career, Galloway continued to bring in offers from the likes of Michigan State, Iowa, and Ohio State. Indiana offered Galloway in the spring of his Junior year and he decided on the Hoosiers in the summer.
Galloway had a fantastic senior season at Culver Academies putting up 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 2.3 steals per game while leading them to a 19-4 record.
Galloway’s best game was back in February against a top-five ranked Crispus Attucks team. With his team down by 16 points in the third quarter, Galloway dropped 35 points including 16 in the third. Galloway’s scoring led Culver back into the game they eventually won.
Galloway was a consistent contender throughout the year for the Indiana Mr. Basketball award but it was ultimately awarded to Galloway’s future Indiana teammate, Anthony Leal.
