2025 Recruiting: Braylon Mullins discusses his recruitment, timeline

[navery12]

Mullins needing more than one year (and this was always pretty obvious) would lead me to think he’s not going to a coach that may not be there for year two. While he could transfer, wouldn’t you rather have continuity with a proven developmental coach and program?

I honestly have a hard time thinking he doesn’t know where he’s going. Barham isn’t going to say he’s made a decision, especially if he’s the one sitting with him during announcement. That would kill the suspense. I cannot fathom what he can be postulating on at this point. He’s had all the info for awhile.

If Mullins comes to UConn he'll be in the NBA after a 1 year. If Mullins goes to Indiana he'll be in the NBA after 2 years, after transferring to UConn

This post got me thinking, what is the worst take ever in the history of The Boneyard?

Recency bias. There has been some phenomenally awful posts over the years. Remember, Hurley was on a hot seat.

That guy that tried to fire Hurley at halftime of the Iona game.

I’m mad as hell and I can’t take anymore of this nonsense. Hurley has no clue how to coach. Get someone who can draw up plays and lead a winning program. Hurley basically is the worst coach I’ve ever seen in my entire life and I’m old.

I think it was Rob on Top Dogs who said the BE is 22 and 6 in The tournament the last few years. There are reasons why recruits go elsewhere but I just do see the league as being a big deterrent

Well we are responsible for 12 of those wins

This seems like a good sign. FWIW he doesn’t follow the UNC or Indiana store…

Where art though WeAreUconn? It seems as though his prefrontal cortex stopped working in old age. Would love his take now two NCs later? Bad Uconnfan protection program?

Is this the new "He followed the whole team" post visit check?

Well, that's about a wrap!!

Big East doesn't have football and in many cases is able to spend more on NIL for basketball players than lower tier power conference schools who need to support massive football rosters.

For example, Georgetown spends more on NIL for basketball than most of the ACC. Providence has a higher rumored NIL budget than Wake Forest basketball, etc.

I woulda been happy watching BE games until I die but revenue sharing will be the straw that broke the BE’s back. Now wake forest and BC will be able to spend $10mill on bball players just because

I think Jamie Shaw just put in a UConn prediction for On3, can anyone confirm?

Yes this will change the game in this regard. But still stands to be seen by how much. A lot of the reports are that most P4 teams are going to do an 80/20 split and so that's 5 mil to basketball, which BE teams can hopefully compete with. For UConn specifically, though, it'll still take us from "on the high side" in NIL to probably closer to average in P4 or so, and nowhere near the top teams who will do like a 50/50 split or whatever with football and spend 10-15 mil on basketball.

Buying a new hoodie for his announcement?

Not only is this the best program but man is our visit photo team outstanding. Between the props, lighting and creativity. I might be all in just on the take home shots.

Confirmed

By the way, remember when Mullins visited and he deleted all his school visit photos? Wonder if he was about to commit back then, but held off just to be sure?

Correct and this never seems to be talked about. It's why UConn will always be in a super tough position as is and the other Big East schools will be alright. I think we end up in the Big 12 within a year.

It's ridiculous you're complaining about recruiting. Our recruiting is incredible.

He’s only stating the facts. So what’s with the complaining comment?

For those who would like to know Trilly is hinting at UConn as well. No confirmation on SC yet
