With RJ Davis leaving Chapel Hill after the upcoming college basketball season, the North Carolina Tar Heels will have a big hole to fill at guard.
Ian Jackson, Elliot Cadeau and Seth Trimble will be the leading candidates for the draft, but Cadeau has previously expressed his desire to play just two years in Chapel Hill. If Jackson is as good as advertised, he might as well be gone.
UNC is already turning its attention to the class of 2025. North Carolina has 14 offers on the table, including one for a 4-star shooting guard who could be the heir to the Davis throne.
The Tar Heels’ latest offer is for Braylon Mullins, a 6-foot-2 standout at Greenfield Central High School in Indiana. And they will fight the state’s Hoosiers to try to win it over as Rivals.com he writes:
“North Carolina handed out a handful of offers over the weekend, but none are more intriguing than the one it made to four-star point guard Braylon Mullins, an Indiana star and a high-priority target for the Hoosiers. Mullins caught a lot of people’s attention in the weeks leading up to the live period and is a sure bet to move up the ranks in the next update. Now, it appears Mike Woodson will find himself in a familiar situation, fighting a strong blue blood for a national recruit. Woodson hasn’t had much success winning those battles so far in his tenure at Indiana, so there will likely be enormous pressure to keep Mullins, who lives less than 80 miles away from Indiana’s campus, in the state.
Mullins is a scoring machine, averaging 17.9 points per game over his first three high school seasons. He set a career-high 25 points per game last season, which ended in the IHSAA Class 4A State Championship game.
Does UNC have enough to offer to lure Mullins away from his home state?
