Braylon Mullins is Back!

Who was our last super sophomore? Someone who could have been drafted but stayed? Bouk?

Lamb?

Gonna be young 3-5 as all sophomores. So hopefully three big time leaps.

 

[Lefty2one]

This has to be the most hyped return since Rip in '98, right?

This felt like the worst kept secret over the last few days, especially with the tweets from his father and Jaylin's stepfather.

 

[ec33]

I expect him to run the offense a bit more this year. Having some pg skills will increase his draft value.

I can see it, but more with Demary also on the floor but sharing some of the PG responsibilities (like a Cam).

 

[FearThePups]

I can’t contain myself.

Probably Clingan and Bouk before him

Clingan was projected 15-25 based on his potential, not based on his body of work. He didnt even think of going, but easily could have have.

 

[FearThePups]

The Mullins it’s about to become the biggest selling haircut in Connecticut.

Heck, that new kid Nik already has one.

We’ve got the “Twins” now.

Donovan Clingan

 

[Drame]

I always thought it could happen and many people said it was ridiculous and impossible. But in this new landscape there was going to be new dynamics and situations.

 

[FearThePups]

Braylon's 2nd year will be what Liam McNeeley's should've been.

I really, really think Braylon loves this place.

 

[UConnKev]

 

[FearThePups]

I never understood why Liam left

Agreed. He probably was the piece we were missing this year for the Natty

Norlander”s comment will infuriate Dookie nation.

Oh well, that's kinda what UConn is best at.

 

[Greedo]

Donovan Clingan

And Hawkins right before him.

 

[MexicoHusky]

Off season is working out so far

 

[Donyell 360]

Braylon's 2nd year will be what Liam McNeeley's should've been.

If McNeeley came back we probably don't sign Braylon. I would have been fine with that but, Braylon was a good pivot that worked out for the most part. Excited to see what he can be next year. Hit those weights!

 

[Donyell 360]

I really, really think Braylon loves this place.

Part of the reason I think is because Hurley really loves Braylon. They have a connection, maybe not as strong as Karaban but it could be special next year. After hitting the shot to beat Duke, Hurley called him, "a rare human being". Maybe he was just caught up in the emotion of the moment but I think there is something more to their relationship. Maybe it is because they were both coached hard by their father?

 

[Donyell 360]

I am not a Donny Marshal hater like some of you, but he really has some explaining to do after incessantly declaring throughout the season that Mullins was one and done. To be fair, he wasn't the only one, but they way he kept bringing it up was a little much. I'm sure he will learn from the experience. Still rooting for Donny to develop into a great commentator and do us proud.

Clingan!

Clingan

 

[3rdbass]

And Hawkins right before him.

Hawkins was not too high on draft boards after a very uneven Freshman year. Clingan definitely would been a lottery pick after one year.

 

[art4life]

Great News!
So glad he is BACK!!!
Wonderful talent and can't wait to see what he does
next season!
The WORLD is YOURS Braylon!

 

[Henry]

I will happily admit that I was wrong about what Braylon would decide to do. So glad to have him for another year.

 

[3rdbass]

Nice to see this pick up Karaban from ending of this season. He definitely bleeds blue and i'm sure some of that rubbed off on Braylon in his decision to stay one more year.

 

[Boost'ED]

Considering the depth of this year's draft, and the projected weak 2027 draft, smart move by Mullins.

Can we expect a jump in production like sophomore Ray Allen?

Let's just fast forward to the fall 2026!

Now........how does Solo react to this?

 

[djct1999]

This staff’s ability to retain players proves it’s one of the best in the nation. Not sure what’s more impressive, having a kid like Braylon back or keeping a kid like Jayden in the fold. Different circumstances, same result. I am in awe.

 

[lateralous]

Holy shit this is awesome. I know it's kind of been rumored for a few days but its still great to see it confirmed.
