2025 Recruiting: Braylon Mullins discusses his recruitment, timeline

[QuickDraw]

The Hunter thing definitely worked out well for us. I was fuzzy on the timing of how everything went down, but I definitely remember his statement that he was at Indiana to win a championship, said in a way that could be easily construed as UCONN under DH did not provide such a chance. Was a B comment on his part.

Could be Hurley asked to much of him by his estimation &/or didn't see Hurley's vision.

They apparently have a secret new offense that will shoot more 3s this year, that Mullins has seen in practice. More split actions, buzz words, yadda yada.

The real problem is that Woodson isn't good at teaching offense in the first place. And they have 5 score-first mentality players in the starting lineup.

Not that I disagree with you but the same amount of skepticism probably was around Hurley before our big change two years ago

No doubt, and I know less than nothing about this topic, other than he did not need to say what he said about winning a championship.

Kimani was named Associate Head Coach over him. He felt some type of way about that and left for Indiana, saying he was doing so to win championships. He also thought he could try and help Archie Miller keep his job. This all happened in August of 2020, with the official announcements coming in September. Miller got fired and now has Hurley’s old job, and UConn went back to back. I think it’s all worked out quite nicely.

Aside from that, Braylon knows what the right decision is, he just has to trust himself and make it.

at this point it's fair to say thomas is chasing the bag if it's b/w Ark and K-St. no other way to spin that.
looking more and more likely that we wind up w/ Adams, Mullins, Bundalo.
three 5*s would have to be our best class ever. 4peat?

Mahaney / Nowell
Ball / Adams
Mullins / Ross
Stew / Abraham
Reed / Bundalo

Me thinks Nowell/McNeely/Abraham ain’t nothing to sneeze at. I think for what this program needs year over year as good a class as you ask for.

That would be a get. Where Reibe goes will be interesting to see play out. Staff seems to be putting a lot of energy into him and Mullins.

He’s struggling with how to let the state of Indiana down softly. I think he already knows where he wants to go

One would think if you're going to ole State U (IU) then you'd have already made up your mind and wouldn't be leading on Hurley and crew as much as has occurred.

THIS!!

And with how to tell his parents they need to move to Connecticut if they want to watch all his home games in person.

 

[controlfade]

I don’t get the , he has to stay close so my parents can watch.
My daughter chose to play field hockey at Duke ( yes I know). My wife and I drove to nearly every game last season because WE wanted to watch her play.
As much as I hate that she chose Puke I would never force my kid to go somewhere they were not comfortable and or happy going too. She felt it was the best school for her.

I still will not wear any Puke gear though!!!

 

[uconnbill]

The player I have wanted the most in this recruiting class. He brings range and is a knowledgeable player.

Not sneezing but they were the 11th ranked class last year. This threesome would have ranked 6th
