Braylon Mullins gives UConn basketball another top-25 commitment - ESPN

Top-25 senior Braylon Mullins committed to UConn on Wednesday, giving Dan Hurley and the Huskies their third top-25 commitment in the 2025 class.

Mullins chose UConn over home state Indiana and North Carolina, taking official visits to all three programs and hosting coaches from all three schools multiple times over the past month.

«I felt like playing for Coach Hurley was the best decision and fit for myself,» Mullins told ESPN. «Coming off back-to-back national championships, he understands winning and that meant a lot to me.»

Hurley and his staff turned up the heat on Mullins last spring, extending a scholarship offer and then bringing him on campus in the summer. Mullins pointed to the relationship he developed with Hurley — as well as the chance to win a title — as the key factors in his commitment.

«I also had a great relationship with Coach Hurley. We would text, talk, FaceTime,» Mullins said. «The relationship I built with him and winning national championships came together and helped me and my decision. A national championship is the ultimate goal when you go to college. I want to have a chance for that.»

"[Hurley is a] very upfront person," Mullins continued. «He will make you work hard. He gives you hard coaching. Some people don't like it. It brings the best out of me.»

A 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Greenfield Central High School (Indiana), Mullins is one of the premier scorers and shooters in the 2025 class. He's ranked No. 24 in the ESPN 100, boosting his stock considerably during his spring and summer with Indiana Elite on the Adidas 3SSB circuit after battling a stress fracture during the high school season.

In 17 games on the 3SSB circuit, Mullins averaged 19.4 points and shot 47.3% from 3-point range
