Entering the portal - 2026

Riding endorphins off a couple wins isn't a great view. This is a very wrong take.

I say this with 💯 truth. I was speaking to someone who went to the Big East tourney. On the train ride home, they were speaking with an older gentlemen, just small talk because they were both UConn fans. This older gentlemen claimed he had dinner with the Mullins family in NY City during the tourney. He stated there’s Zero Chance that Mullins returns after speaking to his dad at dinner. So there’s that.

Not sure what to think about this kid. Hopefully the BE can retain him, or else another year of a lot going out with who knows what's coming in. The Nijel James watch is on.

What do you mean by the Nigel James watch is on? If you're talking about him potentially transferring, he announced before their season even ended he was returning to Marquette

Lewis got to play 30mpg with the ball in his hands from day 1 and is still entering the portal, this era of cbb is wild. I figured Lewis/Perkins/Lindsay would be a given to return and Willard could build out the rest of the roster from there.

I'm thinking he is just testing the waters of both the portal and the draft and will go where the money leads him. There's a chance he returns but I'm definitely not a fan of the mercenary mentality

He was one of the best defenders on the team. That was his job and role.

He started off as a really good 3 and D player. Then the 3 fell all the way off later in the year. And he was the last offensive option on the floor.

He should’ve found somewhere that he could stay and continue to get better and earn more trust from the stuff to shoot more offensively as he got better. Transferring is only going to reset the trust he needs to earn in a staff and teammates.

How many rebounds in 20 minutes? Guy was a total non factor

This is better than chief urinal talk

Nova pages seem to think he's gone

He has chance of NBA. I guess just testing what he will need to do to make it in the NBA. Sucks Villanova couldn't keep him.

He was 5-14 with a three point bank shot last night, made some awful decisions. I think people have to slow their roll. He made a key shot off a nice set and we won, keep it in perspective.

What awful decisions?

Carlton played at the wrong time. 10 years earlier or 10 years later, he would have been a major contributor. The generation of analytics that existed when he played at UConn de-emphasized interior play, and has since been proven wrong.

Ehh, he got plenty of offensive looks here. The issue is he wasn’t that good. He got up almost 7 shots a game in 20 minutes his last year as a starter here and shot under 50%. That’s not good as a post player that exclusively works in the paint. Defensively he also just didnt fit well with what Hurley was trying to run.

Mullins has been less than 100% all season and his injuries without question hampered his shot. You put him in a gym with any gm and they are walking out wanting to draft him. He will absolutely be drafted in the lottery and your bias is absurd.

My bias? I'd love for him to get drafted in the lottery. If it's bias you're looking for, I'll grab you a mirror.

Check in with me on draft day or announcement they're coming back to Uconn day.

Always seemed like Lewis wanted more than Nova. Wouldn’t be shocked if he’s supremely paid to be the guy, as it seems he wanted from the start, at Kentucky or St Johns.

They auctioned off his locker which was another tell.

Hoping our freshman guard comes in and plays like a top 8 draft pick is a crazy expectation

Do you think I expect it from my post? 🤣🤣 it’s hilarious that you determined that.

You do know Wagler was lucky to be Top 200 right, kind of where I was going.😳
