2025 Recruiting: Braylon Mullins update 7/13/24

[RuffRuff]

Will we ever know why they decide what they decide?

If they don't like something about a school that recruited them, why would they knock that school and then have to face the derision from the fans of the rejected school, if the two teams should meet up later.

And, if the reason is the coach's personality, or the weight of the cash bag, ditto for the above.

Kids being kids though, they may leak it out, but usually their handlers try to thwart a revealing tweet or interview.

Kids have a right to choose for whatever reason.

We totally need a Hard Knocks of this stuff - make it happen Netflix

Not sure how credible Zanetto is or his contacts are but had a blurb on his pod today that his Midwest contact with IU ties said there is no way Mullins is leaving the Midwest.

You are in imminent danger of finding out about his credibility!

 

[awy]

he's not very uh, perceptive. the 'source' seems like an enthusiastic indiana booster who thinks money will be everything. the only info there is that indiana will spend big on him.

Let's see how the home visit goes but have always felt his ties to the Mid-West/family are pretty strong. Would love to be wrong on this.

For a long time I hadn't been hearing anything about 'home visits' with recruits and all of a sudden it has come up a couple times this week including with Mullins evidently thursday. Additionally, all of a sudden multiple coaches are being simultaneously invited to 'open workouts' for a player as part of the recruitment, (Thomas, Burries). Is that a new 'thing'? We used to focus on getting a home visit to line up an official visit, and now it is the other way around?

Home visits were more common when there were more limits of visits.

I think now it's mostly for when kids are sick of traveling to go on OVs, honestly.

It's also partly due to recruiting calendar. Today is the first day of the "recruiting period" aka contact period that lasts most of the school year. We were mostly in dead + quiet periods in August and dead+live in July. Those periods don't allow coaches to go visit players at their home or school (Live lets them see them at an event, Quiet lets the recruits come on visits to college but not vice versa).

So this is kinda the equivalent of professional teams calling their top free agent choices at 12:01 or whatever.

Everybody else was in yesterday. Hurley playing chess coming on his own day?

 

[Huskyforlife]

He really hates smiling.

I've seen Mullins listed at 6-4 in some places. I know pictures can be deceiving sometimes but if Hurley is still the 6-2 he was listed at as a player, and Kimani Young is still 6-4, then Mullins is a legit 6-5.

He's got some thick slides on, might be adding 1.5 inches.

 

[RuffRuff]

Fairly consistent poker face across all pics but if I see any glimpse of what appears a clenched smile, UK and UConn in the lead.

UConn Could Still Land Four-Star 2025 Shooting Guard: 'Down To Three Schools'

Could the UConn Huskies snatch away one of Indiana’s top high school players expected to sign with the Hoosiers? It’s still a distinct possibility. Class of 20

Danny is a big white dog fan.

I'm sorry, but any chance the slides with socks fad will be gone soon??
Remember dads with socks and sandals years ago??

I don't like the look either but I had a son who played AAU basketball so I understand why they do it. After games or practice they take off their basketball shoes, because they don't wear those off the court, and throw on slides rather than changing into another pair of sneakers. They're comfortable and easy to "slide" on or off. So I get it despite it reminding me of some old guy with Birkenstocks and white socks.
