Mullins out tonight

jibsey said:
I understand completely but it’s such a shame because of the short time in a husky uniform. That said we have plenty of firepower off our bench with many players to step up.

Plenty of firepower off of our bench? Here’s our bench production (in pts) from the last 5 games …6, 8, 8, 12, 3

I hope you are right!

Could this freshman class be so good (sure seems like it), and with limited playing time this year, and good NIL that it makes sense to come back and be top 5 pick next year?

Don’t bring this pain and disappointment upon yourself.

was in the Courant this am, they reported it pretty matter of factly.....here's a quote from the article:

Ball seemed to have found a way out of his shooting slump with 24 points and five made 3-pointers on Saturday, and the team will need him at his best with freshman Braylon Mullins unavailable after entering concussion protocol.
Expand ...
You say that this was in The Hartford Courant this morning. Then at the end of your post it says that Mullins is unavailable after entering concussion protocol. It's not automatic that someone misses a game because they were put on concussion protocol , it's a medical clearance and that could of been done already. Your post does not indicate that. Plus, I have not seen any official announcement that he will or will not play up until 4:30pm today.

Unavailable to me is not vague at all. What would be less vague?? Unavailable means not available means not playing. He didn’t say “anticipated to be unavailable.” He said unavailable.

People on this board will argue over the dumbest things

WOW! Relax, no arguing here just stating something that is not clear cut.

hes out. Just like it said in the article. I really don’t know why that was, or is, so hard for you to comprehend

It was always going to be the case. You don’t go from wobbly and needing to be helped off the floor by two people to playing in 3 days with modern concussion protocols. You need a couple days to be symptom free.

Exactly

Not hard to comprehend. He could of also been playing from your post. Why do you find it so difficult to understand that. It was not official at that time. Enjoy the game. Go UConn!
 
All things considered, out of the next 11 games, this (or Xavier) are the ones to miss. Hope he is ok by Feb. 1. Huge game.

Yes, because spending another year practicing and playing against college players in an environment with restricted number of practice hours as compared to going pro and playing and practicing against professionals, will make him a better player.
Nevermind the better conditioning programs.


Every year some people insist playing down a level in competition is better for development.

Yea that worked out well for Liam and Hawkins…

Now in G league

You're spot on. He posted his speculative news before 11:00 AM. The first article that officially reported that he's out for the game came out around 5:00 PM.

Word for everyone on this board. Just don't report something that's not yet known to look like you're a clairvoyant savant when it comes to UConn news. It's both misleading and it doesn't make you look all that smart.

Here is hoping Braylon is on the fast track to recovery and is available in Omaha Saturday. I don't want to see a court storming in Omaha. I thought I was going to see one live in person in Providence in hostile territory. Tonight I am in the friendly confines of Gampel.

Unavailable means he coujd have been playing?? In what universe?? You’re precious.

If he is lottery then he has to go but he could absolutely use another year to get stronger and better. Just like Liam who lost most of his season due to that ankle injury which he never really seemed to have recovered from. He would have been better off staying another year.

Mullins needs to review McNeeley draft plunge. Was he a lottery pick? No, but the Hornets did draft a lottery forward. Was he a first round selection? Again no. Is he playing a lot for Charlotte? Nope to that as well. Should stayed one or two more years. Lesson to be learned there, Braylon.

What don’t I get?? Unavailable means NOT PLAYING. Which is exactly what is happened.

So why don’t you explain it to me Einstein

Officially it was announced at 4:30pm. You don't even know what you post, maybe read it and see when it came out. 😏

The lesson learned is don’t go pro early, or Charlotte might draft you.

Number 1 lesson to learn for any UConn player looking to leave early.
 
Hartfod Courant is very take it or leave it but unless they quote a team coach, doctor saying it’s official then it’s not. Treat like any blog post.

Official comes from the U through coaches or doctors.

And concussion protocol is googleable so know any day Mullins “could” be cleared to practice or play but until then he is unavailable.

I agree but......talk to Chin Diesel. Kid will get state of the art everything he needs to develop, and make a SH_T ton of money at the same time. Best Coaching best competition and so on. I don't see Braylon as a pro next year, didn't see Liam that way either but.........it's a question of do you get strong and develop on an NBA roster or on a college roster? Great debate using Hawkins and Bouknight as well. Did they make the right move or not? Clingan and Castle sure did.
