Former Indiana Mr. Basketball and Greenfield-Central High School star Braylon Mullins will return to UConn for his sophomore season, his father, Josh Mullins, confirmed to IndyStar.
The 6-6 freshman averaged 12.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, shot 33.5% on 3s and hit the game-winning shot against Duke to send UConn to the Final Four in Indianapolis.
Mullins has been projected as high as a lottery pick and as low as the 20s for the 2026 NBA draft if he left college.
UConn beat Illinois, 71-62, in the Final Four at Lucas Oil Stadium with Mullins scoring 15 points. The Huskies lost the national championship game to Michigan, 69-63, with Mullins scoring 11 points on 4-of-17 shooting.
