It’s Braylon Mullins Week

[CONN78SEJ]

I'll take a more athletic Cam Spencer any day.

But can he bang with the big guys under the basket like Cam could?

Yeah, Cam knew how to use his body (and he wasn't exactly a small guy either). Plus Cam already had 4 years of college ball experience under his belt.

 

[RuffRuff]

Let’s stop comparing to Cam, he was one of a kind. The kid was as driven and cerebral a player as we’ve had, and no freshman is going to be that. Let’s not lose site of how old he was. The BY LOVES comping. Reality is all these kids are their own players and have their own unique skillset.

Mullins is as good a fit for the system as this class has to offer, and likely why he’s coming. If anything he’ll probably feel a little closer to a shorter Liam. Both are/were considered best shooter in their class.

 

[CONN78SEJ]

As always, take with a grain of salt, but he’s been following almost everyone on the current UConn roster and staff.

As long as he’s not following Flagg or the Boozers.

 

[Lambeau]

The Celtics last season shot 35 three pointers adjusted to a 40 min game--and are said to aim for more this year--at 39%.
UConn shot 24 three's/game at 36%; is there a trend toward more, and does Danny's recruiting reflect that? Lots of sharpshooters.

 

[FearThePups]

Military time would just be 2020.

But in the case of Braylon’s announcement, it is 1800 or 6 pm on Wednesday and not 20 minutes past 8pm as 2020 indicates.

So are we feeling 100% confident here? I've felt really good the last couple weeks but always get slightly nervy closer to the date. I don't LOVE the fact that he's doing the announcement in his high school gym which will most likely be packed with lifelong Indiana fans. Am I overthinking this?

 

[TribecaHusk]

The one thing hat gives me pause is the site of his selection. The gym of his Indiana High School. Publicly amid a lot of presumable Hoosier fans ….

 

[superjohn]

Braylon Mullins should be announcing his decision at E.O. Smith high school instead of his own high school. He's clearly not going to UConn.

 

[Scott2Tate]

Any news from Trilly?

Not saying this smart . But he doesn’t have to do it at his high school either. Reibe didn’t.

Reibe did his at his HS...

Him announcing at his HS where he'll have a bunch of friends, classmates, etc doesn't raise any red flags to me.

Lol like they'll mob him when he says UConn. They don't care where he chooses. They'll celebrate regardless

Didn’t realize that…but regardless it didn’t seem as if it was in front of a big crowd. Just saw him with his family.

Great shooter, exciting prospect. Looking forward to him hitting a ton of 3s. Expecting a "more athletic Cam Spencer" is ridiculous. Wildly undersells how good Cam was last year.

 

[RichZ]

Of course.

 

[RichZ]

I'll take a more athletic Cam Spencer any day.

I'd take another Cam Spencer, just the way he was. By far the best portal pick in all of NCAA BBall of last season.

99%

Trilly > UConn. He’ll sent his tweet tomorrow morning.

Every tea leave there is to read says UConn. IU fans have effectively given up. He and his dad have started following a bunch of UConn players, etc in last couple days (and not IU).

If anything the view was if he was doing announcement favorable to IU would have done it earlier in the day when all the students were still there. While there are some bitter IU fans many are happy for him and get it, more concerned with Woodson.

This article sums up this thread. Christine Butterfield obviously reads the Boneyard.

Will five-star recruit Braylon Mullins commit to UConn men's basketball program?​

 

[RipCity]

This feels like the Hami Diallo recruitment but with Indiana playing UConn’s role in that one

 

[auror]

Any news from Trilly?

He called it for UConn a week ago.

Reminds me of Jordan Hawkins with a much better handle.

But we already McNeeley’d them

Oh wait I’m thinking Ray Kasongo lol

 

[JerseyAlum]

We just need to wait a little longer than 20 min.

Seinfeld had a great joke about people quoting '20 minutes' meaning there is no such thing and is code for anytime. Who is truthful when saying "be there in 20 min?"
