Indiana Basketball: Breaking down the 2020 recruiting class
Trey Galloway – Culver, IN
SG | 6-foot-4 | 200 lbs | No. 134 overall
Trey Galloway is the lowest-rated player in Indiana’s 2020 recruiting class but he will still arrive on campus as a Top 150 prospect right on the edge of being a four-star. With solid size to go with a constant competitive drive and motor, it is easy to see the appeal in his game. Galloway can function at multiple different positions while on the floor and can be impactful with his defense, attacking ability, and as a secondary creator.
Offensively, Galloway already understands how to play through contact. With the physical challenges of playing in the Big Ten approaching, this skill should not go unnoticed. Galloway does a nice job getting into the paint with change-of-pace ball-handling as well as instinctual cutting. Once there, he can hang in the air for strong finishes as he is a high-level vertical athlete.
Perhaps Galloway’s biggest area for improvement comes as a shooter. While he has solid mechanics, he is not the most consistent threat from beyond the arc at this juncture nor is he particularly adept at the charity stripe. Over 48 recorded games from his junior and senior high school seasons, Galloway shot just 25.4 percent from three and 57.7 percent on free-throws.
Improving as a shooter, particularly on foul shots, will really help him take the next step.
On the other end, Galloway seems to be the type of player that can make a positive impact defensively. He is quick laterally and brings solid size to the wing with a well-built frame. He stays in front of his man consistently while also being able to switch onto bigs in the paint on occasion. That level of versatility might help him impress early.
