BRAYLON MULLINS | SG | INDIANA ELITE

Current 247Sports ranking: No. 93.

Recruitment: Alabama, Cincinnati, Connecticut, Creighton, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Michigan State, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Purdue, Stanford, Virginia, Virginia Tech and others.

Bossi's take: We haven't had too many discussions about the rankings just yet, but based on how different members of our staff have written about Mullins and some talk in our group chat, I feel pretty good about writing that the 6-foot-5 two guard from Indiana has put himself in position to make a pretty significant climb. He has size, he is as tough as they come, he's a good athlete and he's shot a sizzling 43.5% from three during Adidas 3SSB play per Synergy. Look, it isn't like Mullins had been completely overlooked prior to the past few months. He entered the spring with nearly 15 scholarship offers and six of them were from high majors. But, he's up to 25 offers now and has added 11 more high major offers in the last month and has a chance to be one of the biggest risers in the rankings update.

Was just about to post this - sounds like he’s ready to schedule … I’m guessing the coach being here is a major part of the equation.

Rhetorical question. How will he be able to turn Dan Hurley down after all the unbelievable positive media about him this past week?
I know there's other schools out there but if Dan Hurley comes back he'd sure have a major halo around his head for some time to come.

Right. Maybe he will self-reflect , assuming Dan Hurley comes back, as follows:

"If the Lakers think Dan Hurley is good enough for them, why not good enough for you?"

On the flip side what happened the last few days could place doubt in a recruit's mind as to whether Hurley will be here long. You know other coaches will be using it against UConn.

That's a good point. I could see Jon Scheyer and others needing to do that if Dan Hurley starts getting guys who normally focused solely on their "dream" schools. You know, the schools and coaches who "put players in the NBA".............even though they would be in the NBA if I were their coach.

I don't pay much attention to the NBA or the coaching changes so I don't recall seeing this much hype and praise from high level former NBA stars for a prospective coach. Effusive is probably the term that best describes it. Especially meaningful when you see it from players like Magic Johnson and JR Smith.

And it won’t work.

Scheyer - “Hurley is being linked to NBA teams. You don’t know if he’s going to be there next year or in two years.”

Hurley - “I turned down Kentucky and the Lakers within a month of each other to stay at UCONN. Foot Stays On Gas.”

Scheyer - "I'll be here. You can be sure no NBA team will never want me as their coach."

Follow-up tweet said we are one of several other schools being considered for a visit. Want me to be first to say it?

Love you Zionn but you Nexted Hurley to the Lakers so not sure I can put as much stock in these anymore…

That being said, it does seem as if we may have prioritized other wings over him.
 
Not gonna hold my breath on Mullins until we get him on campus for an OV. He's gotta be a high priority target for the Mid-West schools

Should probably correct the title of the thread to "not visiting 6/24"
 
in my mind if uconn wants him and schedules a visit then he's coming. he has the soft skills that would be wasted in a badly run program but will take him to the next level at uconn.

Think it was the Xavier coach who, with a shell shocked look on his face, said in the post game interview that there really isn't adequate time to prepare with a team like Uconn because of the myriad of plays, options and players. I think he just said that Uconn could overwhelm you with all their talent and possibilities. And he is one of the better coaches around.

I recall that. Made me think of Coach Calhoun after the '99 championship - I believe he said that he and the staff had begun scouting 4 top teams from the start of the year, in case they ended up facing them in the tournament. One of the four was Duke.
