I won't even post the SI article because it's so silly. A year out from the draft and they have a landing spot for the UConn "Star" but i will say this:

I think that Tarris will have the best season any big man has had in the history of this program

I don't think we're prepared for how good this kid is gonna be for us next year.

PPG/RPG/Blocks

His numbers should be laughable.

That’s a scalding hot take, considering our program’s only NPOY campaign was by a big man in 03-04.

But hell, I hope you’re right, because if he’s better than that we’re going to win another natty!

I think he'll play a few less minutes than Emeka did. But adjust for min/game and he should at least reach those same numbers. My only concern is if he stays on the floor.

Btw, it's remarkable how many centers have won NPOY this century.

Ha. For real. And I promise I'm not trolling. I had the same feeling watching Tarris last year that i did watching kemba in his sophomore year. You saw things that made you think "with a little more control and polish, this person is gonna explode" i haven't had that feeling about a Uconn player since #15

It was from a CBS Sports mock draft. I posted it here last Thursday. See this link.

The Athletic's 2026 NBA Mock Draft: Mullins #7

The Athletic came out with its first mock for the 2026 NBA draft, and Braylon Mullins clocks in at #7 (Peterson #1, Cam Boozer #2, Dybansta #3). 7. Braylon Mullins | 6-5 wing | 20 years old | Connecticut This is probably where I differ most from the consensus. Mullins was one of my favorite high...

Best season any big man has had in the history of this program? Woah there. Give me some of that ganja you're smoking! :)

It's only edibles these days. You can't get good bud in Tennessee.

I love Reed and still can't understand why he didn't start all last season, but my goodness Emeka and Adama were GREAT. If Reed has a season that puts him on a level with those 2 I will be absolutely thrilled. I hope you are correct.

Tarris definitely progressed quit a bit from the beginning to the end of last season. It's not to far fetched, he will be load to handle down low, no dought.
 
If the dogs go on another deep March run firing on all cylinders then I could see this being our next* 6 draftee class: Mullins, Solo, AK, Silas, Tarris, Stew (not predicting that order). I think it’s fair to say that’s within the realm of possibility, even if not likely.

*first - we’ve had a 5 draftee class before but never 6, I think.
