Five-star shooting guard Braylon Mullins is down to a final three of Connecticut, Indiana and North Carolina and will be revealing his choice live on the 247Sports Channel.
Ranked No. 16 overall in the class of 2025, the 6-foot-5 sniper out of Greenfield (Ind.) Central will be making his choice at 6pm Eastern on the 23rd of October.
UConn:
“I have a really good relationship with Coach Hurley. They were one of my first official visits. It’s a little hard to remember what I did on that visit but he tells me I’m not just a want but a need. He says I can be out in 10 months if I really work for it. With them, I would have to take that chance on myself as well because it’s really far so if you get homesick you get homesick. Outside of that Coach (Luke) Murray has done a hell of a job recruiting me as well. I talk to him every day and he came in the other day. They’re one of my top schools.”
247Sports Director of Scouting provided this scouting report on Mullins:
Mullins proved himself to be one of the best long-range shooters in the country this spring and summer. He knocked down 47% of his attempts from three in 3SSB play, even on high volume, making 6+ threes per game. He has a fairly low, but still quick, release, that he doesn’t even always fully extend on. He’s a threat to make tough shots in transition, off screens, or the dribble. He also has very deep range, well beyond the college arc at this point.
He complements his shooting ability with a good overall feel for the game. He’s a solid passer within the flow of the offense, increasingly dangerous cutter, and the type of off ball weapon that coaches will run plays for at the next level. While his niche is behind the arc, he was extremely efficient around the lane too, shooting 60% on two-point field goals, and yet could get more aggressive punishing defenders for running him off the line.
Mullins has good positional size at right around 6-foot-5. He’s a solid enough athlete to get up and dunk hard with only a step or two of separation. Physically, his shoulders are a bit narrow, but he’s just starting to fill-out his frame and already has clear toughness and confidence about him.
The other area of the game in which Mullins is a true standout is on the defensive end. He’s quick laterally, very active with his hands (1.4 steals per game), and competitive with a scrappy mentality. He’s also not afraid to stick his nose into traffic and pull-out some rebounds, on both ends of the floor (3.6 rebounds per game).
The bottom line is that when you have an elite shooter, capable of getting hot at any point, who is also a standout defender, with positional size, solid athleticism, and a competitive mentality….you have an elite national prospect.
