One potential Player is off the list for coach Mark Pope and Kentucky basketball’s recruiting class against 2025 season.
Braylon Mullins, who was one of the top shooters in the 2025 cycle, was reportedly not among that list of prospective sign on players.
Mullins will have to choose among Indiana, North Carolina and others to stay alive next season kickoffs.
The Wildcats once were considered one of the leading cont enders — if not the odds-on favorites — to land Mullins. Instead, he’ll play his college ball elsewhere.
When Mullins trimmed his list to 10 schools, Kentucky was one of them along with Alabama, Duke, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, North Carolina, Purdue, Tennessee and UConn.
An official visit to UK had been planned for the weekend of Oct. 26; the trip would have coincided with the football team’s home game versus Auburn. Now, that OV is off Mullins’ itinerary.
As per the latest rankings, Mullins is a five-star recruit, ranked No. 23 in the 2025 class. His ranking among the major recruiting databases has been on a meteoric rise after superlative showings in AAU play this past summer.
Earlier this year, Mullins was rated No. 73 nationally in Sports Composite rankings
Mullins is viewed as one of the best pure shooters in the 2025 cycle.
