2025 Recruiting: Braylon Mullins discusses his recruitment, timeline

[ScottCT]

What's his reasoning for the titles being fluky? Last year's team was dominant in any way you look at it. If that one is fluky then every championship is fluky. I guess he thinks it's fluky to win 6 games in a row by double digits. Both times.

A lot of people think that the talent at the college level has been lacking the past few years and they say that's why UConn has been dominant.

I’m not complaining at all about Hurley or staff or our results. I’m saying recruits should be lining up to play for him at UConn like they do for much much lesser coaches without hesitation (Cal & Scheyer). He should have his pick of the litter year in year out eg Flagg and Meleek.

If UConn had been in the Big 12 Hurley would’ve gotten those players. Being in the Big East is a big liability. Mullins other two finalists are ACC and Big Ten teams. These kids want to play Duke, UNC, NC St, Purdue, MichSt, etc. multiple times during the season, not Providence or Seton Hall.

Yes because this is a 8 month decision. It would be telling if he chose Indiana only because of geography. I am a the GM from Orlando or LA and i am thinking twice about the kid’s maturity.

This is a ridiculous take. He is a teenager, just starting his senior year of high school. Having raised 3 kids, it wouldn’t surprise me at all.

march is always fluky, and hurley failed a bunch of times before the title runs so we can't expect the runs to continue.

So UConn isn’t going to win the championship every year? Brilliant analysis by that guy.

Listening/posting Sleepers or Zanetto is a tell.

Nor Northwestern, Vanderbilt, ...

Long story short: UConn has the momentum and leads

Every conference has it's weak teams. However, there is an inherent strength, at the present time, of the big football conferences vs The NBE and it starts with money and exposure. They get the major network coverage. Is there a NBE network? FS1 and FS2?
When you are the king pins of a conference, like UConn is unquestionably in the NBE, it's easy to want to sit still and keep the status quo. I see both sides of the argument. However, UConn needs the influx of more dollars so it doesn't run solely on what the state and a few wealthy alumni/angels can provide.
