Jaeden Mustaf Commits to Indiana Basketball in Transfer Portal Decision BLOOMINGTON — The Indiana basketball program received a significant boost to its backcourt depth as Georgia Tech guard Jaeden Mustaf announced his intention to transfer to the Hoosiers. The 6-foot-6 guard, a Maryland native, made his decision public on social media with the message “ALL IN,” signaling his commitment to the program under new head coach Darian DeVries. Mustaf’s transfer comes as Indiana rebuilds its guard rotation, a position that will require a complete overhaul this spring. Mustaf, who previously had been a recruiting target for former Indiana coach Mike Woodson, brings valuable experience and versatility to the Hoosiers. During his sophomore season at Georgia Tech, he averaged 10.4 points and 4.3 rebounds per game across 29 appearances. His ability to score from beyond the arc is notable, as he maintained a career 37.2% 3-point shooting rate, though he did not take a high volume of shots. However, his impact on the court extends beyond scoring. Mustaf is a physical guard who excels at rebounding his position, drawing fouls at an above-average rate. Last season, he averaged 4.2 fouls drawn per 40 minutes, with an even higher rate of 4.4 in ACC play—a top-25 performance in the conference. His scoring efficiency was particularly evident in his final stretch of the season. In Georgia Tech’s last nine games, Mustaf averaged 14 points per game, and in their final six contests, he scored 16.3 points per game. These numbers highlight his ability to perform under pressure, a trait that could be crucial for Indiana as it seeks to compete at a high level.#georgia_tech #jaeden_mustaf #indiana_basketball #darian_devries #mike_woodson
Indiana basketball transfer portal target Jaeden Mustaf Georgia Tech transfer Jaeden Mustaf has officially committed to Indiana basketball, marking a significant addition to the Hoosiers’ roster. The 6-foot-6, 210-pound wing, who previously played for the Yellow Jackets, is expected to play a key role in Indiana’s future plans. His decision comes after a recent visit to Bloomington, where he showcased his skills and potential to fit into the program’s system. Mustaf’s profile as a transfer portal target has been well-documented, but his recent performance and development have solidified his status as a valuable asset. While he is not a high-volume scorer, his role on the court is defined by his ability to create opportunities for teammates, exploit mismatches, and contribute in transition. His 19.8 usage rate on Georgia Tech last season placed him seventh on the team, indicating he is not the primary ball-handler but rather a versatile playmaker who can step up in critical moments. Despite his relatively low usage, Mustaf has shown flashes of scoring ability. He recorded a season-high 28 points against Clemson and has consistently contributed double-digit scoring in nine games, with six of those performances coming against top-tier opponents. His ability to finish at the rim and capitalize on open shots makes him a reliable offensive threat when given the chance. Analytics provide further insight into his impact. Box score plus-minus (BPM) metrics suggest Mustaf outperformed his peers on offense, ranking fifth on Georgia Tech with an overall BPM of .2. While his defensive BPM was slightly lower at .2, his offensive contributions were more pronounced, especially against tougher competition.#georgia_tech #acc #bloomington #jaeden_mustaf #indiana_basketball
