Indiana will send an assistant in today (Friday) for five-star senior Braylon Mullins, a source told @Stockrisers.  UNC will send staff in next week, UConn was in yesterday afternoon.

He's going to need a large pay raise after Mullins says yes to IU(I hope he does at least)

I hope that Mullins is real firm at staying local because from the time I worked at UNC it was not uncommon to get already committed recruits or players at UNC to speak down about a program they were once involved in. Hopefully Liam doesn’t  get in his ear.

Fwiw: top 50ish DC combo guard Derek Dixon is announcing today and North Carolina has been thought to be his landing spot for a while. Very much a scoring guard in the Jasper Johnson mold. Should Dixon make the call for UNC and Adams for UConn there’s no scenario in which we’re not happy for those developments.

If we were lucky enough to get Mullins and Reibe that’s a very solid 3 person class.  See who returns then get 2 studs from the portal or so and it all works out.  Portaling will win faster than freshman without question.  Gotta have balance.  Maybe a Sping guy like Brown or Tiller, but I admit I’m a huge fan of the portal as a top 5 budget program.  
 

I would normally be devastated about recruting misses but just this past year we went from 

Queen, McNeely, Fland to Rice, Tucker, Ballo.  
 

Hard for me not to believe we ended up better off as much as I liked Fland, McNeely, and Queen.

Your post is not a novel thought, but you summarized the state of affairs perfectly.

Because:

1. The upgrade for the coming season of Myles Rice as point guard and leader over Fland is immeasurable.
2. The upgrade for the coming season of Oumar Ballo over Derik Queen is also immeasurable.

Dixon did indeed commit to UNC today.

In an absurd twist, Barrel Rick is Luke Brown.

Really good Q and A with Bray's father.

Somebody needs to explain to Braylon what it will mean to him in later years if he plays for IU .  Sean May isn’t crap in Indiana. Nobody cares.  If he goes to UConn nobody will give that crap either.  If he goes to IU he becomes the loved, Hoosier son for life with people always his fan and kids worshiping him.  THAT MEANS EVERYTHING!

From reading Braylon’s Dads comments I am guessing it’s UConn.

Watch this might change your mind a little. They went over UCONN's roster at spots 1-3 next year and they might have 7 or 8 players at those positions next year. The report is that Braylon is looking at their roster very thoroughly.  Who know who f these guys know anything. Also there is a new guy on their and say he is an Indiana guy

I thought it was Kensucky, boy was I wrong and maybe you are too.  But I thought all along it would be another school on his list besides IU.

And he might end up there. His life, his choice. I'd love to see him at IU, but if he's not, we'll fill his spot with someone good from the portal. High school kids decisions aren't as important as they used to be.
