Not to beat a dead horse, but what changed since your previous posts regarding Woody not being an issue?

Dang that hurts but I’m not surprised. I totally get it. Tell him to transfer in next year when Brad is the coach. Haha

Surely that's not the problem. He's accomplished so much. Just ask him.

I’m not surprised!  The guy has trouble recruiting long term HS kids.  The grandpa coach doesn’t seem to sell as much long term recruits.  His nap time is getting in the way of recruiting!

RB, what was it about Woodson that turned Mullins off?  My guess is similar to what caused McNeely to decommit

He’s done his job!!!

Mike Woodson is a low energy 66 year old with an offensive style even older than he is. It’s no surprise that Mullins and others don’t want to play for him.

Gentle reminder that this is still Braylon Mullins' thread.  Rag on Woody all you want but please keep it in the Fire thread.  Thank you.

I was told he has very low energy coaching compared to Hurley and even Hubert Davis in Braylon’s opinion. 
 

Someone close to the program told me that sometimes the assistants have to ask Woodson to text high school recruits. Sometimes they have to add the contact info into his phone. But he loves that portal.

The portal has bailed him out and I know it’s the current state of CBB, but several years ago we didn’t have it.  Would this guy be our coach if they didn’t have the transfer portal and NIL, I say HE** NO!!!!

But he’s done his job!!!

Also with revenue sharing most schools will be able to keep their current players. The portal won’t be as great because less players will be in it.

can’t say too much; will say that Braylon would have committed several months ago under different coaching but still gave things time to change because he dreamed of playing here.

Live look at Woody’s phone before he gets NGW to insert the right phone number.

Ten years from now what will be the legacy of Braylon Mullins in the state? It won't matter that much to a multi-millionaire playing on his second contract in the league,  but to a solid rotation piece that gets a cup of coffee in the league it might. Joining UConn after they brought in Adam's, who in many circles is rated as a higher prospect is a gamble. I wish him well. I went to see him play alot the last year and a half. He's really good.

Not enough data to prove that yet!  That would be nice to keep our players but other than money, what will keep them here?  The coach comes to mind but ours don’t have the energy to recruit long term HS kids!

That’s pretty bad!  I am 100% sure CMW doesn’t recognize his deficiencies!  He does his job!!!
