UConn basketball freshman Braylon Mullins more than a shooter, won't hide from spotlight

[HooperScooper]

Mike Anthony article.

I posted a couple articles from yesterday's practice scrimmage but we'll have to wait until the site is merged. Maintenance.

“The guy can pass,” Hurley said. “And he knows how to move without the ball. And he can guard. He’s got a maturity about him. And we’ve got to get him ready for November. We’ve had this conversation with him. People are dying to see him play. He’s a really exciting player and there’s a lot of anticipation for what he's going to look like this winter. We just have to prepare him mentally for the high expectations and the anticipation and just get him ready for all that so he can handle it and go out and perform like you’ve seen he can perform.”

Dang.

Alex showing some pretty good vert there too. Kids at this level are freaks. Even the earthbound ones can jump out the gym compared to regular people.

Terrific article by Mike Anthony. Excited for Mullins, kid came here to grow his game and win a championship. Everything in this article that he was quoted on is on point.

Camera angles help also. You must be really anxious.

I don’t follow the anxious part, but that kid has some bounce. Off both feet, hands up and going straight up. That’s good elevation.

No doubt. That pic looks like the intro scene in double dribble.

Maybe Alex jumped so high, he’s out of the picture.

The Mullins family reminds me of the Castles, which is a very good thing.

 

[Mr. French]

Needless to say I’m super excited for this kid. He even shoots with some explosion.

Another article on Mullins. This one from the Courant.

“He’s super talented. His shooting, his sneaky athleticism, just the way he plays is super unique, I mean, he’s a really talented player. And defensively he’s been way better than I thought too,” Karaban said. “I’m gonna guide him, it’s not easy stepping in as a freshman, playing big-time minutes and really dealing with the pressure on yourself, the high standards he has for himself but also just what it’s like to play at UConn.

“There’s gonna be so many ups and downs that every freshman experiences and I’ve been through those, I’m just gonna let him know ahead of time to make those learning curves a lot easier for him. We’re gonna need him and he’s super talented, and he’s gonna be special for this team.”

Nice to see Furphy as #1 in the background too!

 

[Hunt for 7]

I been saying it after watching the first hour of tape. Special player and more specifically special scorer if he gets hot he can go off for forty in a game this year.

His range will be logo and he is going to get it off quickly. Like jab step boom ball is out of his hands.

That’s Reibe…

Reibe is #12 & Mullins is #24, that looks like 24 to me.

That was in response to someone who thought one of the white guys was Karaban.

That was me. I gave it some thought, decided it was AK. I was at a best ball tournament. The drinks started very early. Posted that waiting to tee off on #16. I actually thought, “I hope I have the guys right or I’ll hear about it”. No surprise, I heard.😂

There are some posters who seem to have an uncanny knack for recognizing every single husky who ever put on the uniform, at a glance. Don't feel bad

"Saw Kyle Bailey at the Houston airport getting into an Uber. Was too late to say hello"

 

[CL82]

I have to say that I am really excited about Mullins. He looks special and may well be right out of the gate.

 

[Lafayette]

we have been hearing for months that his shooting range is the gym. so far nothing has contradicted that.

now he is getting into UConn shape and offensive and defensive mode and no doubt leveling up in passing, defense, pull up shots so yeah 3-level scorer who can play defense and is ~6’6”.

yes to the moon!

Stumbled on this one about Stewart. Adding it here because I think this is the most intense competition we've got.

"Jaylin's putting down the head set and the controller," Hurley noted. "He's in the gym at the rate that you need to be in the gym at. Instead of being a gamer or an influencer, he wants to be a baller. He's on a similar schedule as Alex. You could see it in the sharpness of his game today. He's at a different maturity level and he's ready to take the next step in his career."
