Four-Star Guard Jaeden Mustaf Schedules Official Visit To Indiana
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Jaeden Mustaf, a four-star guard in the class of 2024, set a date for his official visit to Indiana.
Mustaf will visit Indiana on June 8-10, following his visit to NC State on June 4, according to On3's Joe Tipton. Indiana does not have any commitments in the class of 2024 yet.
The 6-foot-5, 205-pound guard is ranked No. 28 by 247Sports, No. 47 by On3, No. 48 in the ESPN Top 100 and No. 50 by Rivals. Mustaf announced on April 1 that his top five schools were Indiana, Miami, NC State, Florida State and Virginia Tech, and he recently added Maryland to the mix.
After beginning his high school career at DeMatha Catholic in Hyattsville, Md., Mustaf transferred to Carmel Christian School in Matthews, N.C. He plays AAU basketball for Boo Williams on the Nike EYBL circuit.
Mustaf's father, Jerrod Mustaf, played at Maryland from 1988-90, where he averaged 18.5 points and 7.7 rebounds as a sophomore to earn All-ACC honors. The New York Knicks selected Jerrod with the 17th pick in the 1990 NBA Draft, and he played four seasons in the NBA. Jerrod stood at 6-foot-10, so it's possible Jaeden still has room to grow.
Frank Bennett of Big Shots Basketball listed Mustaf as one of 10 standouts at the Boo Williams Legacy Classic in Hampton, Va. in April.
"Jaeden has a college ready frame, a terrific feel and a nice combination of toughness and skill that allows him to impact both ends of the floor," Bennett wrote. "He uses his crafty handle, superb footwork and a strong upper body nicely on the drive looking to attack angles and maneuver his 205 pound frame to the rim where he is a terrific finisher. Jaeden is a threat from anywhere on the floor knocking down three pointers both off the catch and off the dribble. He hits the dribble pullup at a high rate and is skillful, physical and crafty on the drive using contact for leverage and changing speeds seamlessly. He can drive you right and then suddenly spin back the opposite direction sealing you with his powerful frame and exploding to the rim where he can finish with both hands. He can also break you down off the dribble and beat you with a nice burst using his off hand and strong upper body effectively if needed although his burst, both quick and powerful is more than sufficient. He brings that same toughness and energy on the defensive end with sound footwork, quickness and toughness both on and off the ball and is an active rebounding presence from the guard position. Jaeden, the son of former NBA forward Jerrod Mustaf averaged over 20ppg during the Boo Williams Legacy Classic highlighted by a 26 point effort against Washington Warriors Prospect U Blue 3SSB on Sunday morning. One of the top point guards nationally by Big Shots, Jaeden recently narrowed his list of schools to Florida State, Indiana, Miami, NC State, Va Tech."
