2025 Recruiting: Braylon Mullins update

[Peacefrog]

Cam was likable for us fans. Other team’s fans definitely did not like him lol

One of my favorite opposing fan’s comments ever was directed at Cam during the Gonzaga game last year: “that rec league guy is killing us.”

Then why wouldn't people hate Hass, he gets into people more than anyone on our team. He's the definition of a pesky and physical defender. Andre Jackson would get in opposing players faces and get taunting techs. Mullins is a year away from even playing here and people are going to hate him? Why?

Hass is simply not quite as good as Cam was imo. Not as polarizing because he’s not as good. Hass flexing also isn’t quite as demonstrative as Cam throwing wild haymakers in the air. I never said anything about Mullins.

Cam Spencer and to some extent Andre stand alone in this regard (and both for sure drew their share of hate from opposing fans for their antics). Hass is a pesky defender but not particularly demonstrative. Cam and Andre were both world class trash talkers and very demonstrative.

Haven’t seen anything from Liam or Braylon to think they’ll fall into the same boat. I mean I can’t imagine anyone hates Steven Ashworth…

And the dude can play D

I think defense will be the biggest adjustment for him. Playing in a second or third-tier AAU circuit and a very low HS league, he hasn't really had much opportunity to guard anyone of note. His high school plays a 1-2-2 zone IIRC and just throws Mullins at the top to make plays with length. Not a lot of relevance to what he'll be doing in Storrs.

With his athleticism and size, I doubt it's a concern for long. But I would expect and adjustment period just like all of our freshman have.

Why? Cam is one of the most likable players I can ever remember in college basketball. McNeeley is awesome and Hurley has never talked about a recruit the way he talks about Mullins.

Gotta be sarcasm, right? Cam was despised but other teams and I get it, I would've disliked him too if he didn't play for us. He was always chirping, had that toolish grin, AND he killed you time and time again. Someone mentioned that Andre and Hassan do the first two, but not really the third.
