The recruitment for five-star shooting guard Braylon Mullins is starting to heat up as the UNC basketball program is still seeking its first commitment in the 2025 class.
The Tar Heels are in pursuit of a handful of recruits, hosting visits during fall as they are trying to impress players. One recruit that recently visited UNC was Mullins and it looks like his recruitment is starting to pick up some more.
The Indiana native then canceled a visit to Duke, essentially eliminating UNC’s rival from the recruitment. But are the Tar Heels in a good position in this recruitment?
Mullins checked in with Stockrisers on Monday to discuss his recruitment and the teams involved. Here is what he said about the teams that are ‘heavily’ involved:
Which schools remain heavily involved?
“North Carolina, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, and UConn.”
Have any new schools tried to get involved here lately, or those are the main ones right now?
“Those are the main ones, and probably what I will keep around.”
In addition to saying that, he also dished on his visit to UNC where he told Stockrisers about his experience:
How was your North Carolina visit, and what is Coach Davis pitching to you?
“It was good. I loved the campus and coaching staff. Coach Davis loves the way I fit into his offense. Also pitched that I can play and work for a starting spot as a freshman.”
Right now, it’s tough to tell where UNC stands in this recruitment but it does feel like in-state Indiana is the team to beat. Did UNC do enough to make a statement in this recruitment? Let’s hope so.
