So great family, 87 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 3: good people, and you know, Braylyn is kind of one 88 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 3: of those kids that exploded on the scene super late, 89 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 3: which I did think that helped, you know, keep and 90 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 3: remain him humble, because you know, in between his junior 91 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 3: and his senior year is really when he kind of 92 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 3: made that leap with confidence and growing into his body 93 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 3: and his athleticism, and so it just is kind of 94 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 3: awesome to see it come full circle and to see 95 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 3: him do it on that stage and have this type 96 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 3: of you know, opportunity to play here back home in 97 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 3: Indiana in the Final four. 98 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 5: Luke Meredith with us on the Payless Lakers Hotline Coach, 99 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 5: while you were coaching Braylan in high school, what'd you 100 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 5: notice were his biggest strengths and what he needed to 101 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 5: work on while he was in high school and how 102 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:21,559 Speaker 5: has he developed that sense? 103 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the greatest strength for him is he 104 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 3: obviously is an elite shooter. I mean literally shocked when 105 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 3: he would miss, and there would be times in practice 106 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 3: where he would just get it going and go through 107 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 3: these flurries just like he does now on this stage, 108 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 3: where you know, he'd hit three or four threes in 109 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 3: a row and just you know, could hit him from 110 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 3: Kayln Clark Steph Curry range with ease. And so shooting 111 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 3: is something that you know, he always came natural to 112 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 3: him through being in the gym growing up with his father, 113 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 3: being in the gym every single morning with me during 114 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 3: his high school seasons. But I would say one of 115 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 3: the things for his weakness you know, we talk about 116 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 3: for him being able to be more vocal and also 117 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 3: bringing that out. So I called him, I had to 118 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 3: call him BMF, that mofo, because sometimes I needed to 119 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 3: bring out that edge in him and what he needed 120 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 3: to be on these opponents. Because he was such a 121 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 3: humble and soft spoken kid that there would be times 122 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 3: in games where I needed him to show that he 123 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 3: could do that. And then once he flipped that switch, 124 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 3: there was nobody that could ever guard him. Always the 125 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 3: best player on the floor. 126 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 2: Was that on purpose? Braylan Mullens bad mofo? Bm was 127 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: that on purpose? 128 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 3: I mean it just kind of works, right, Yeah, it 129 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 3: just kind of worked. I don't know, it was a 130 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 3: halftime speech. It just kind of happened. And now it's 131 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 3: a BMF twenty four. That's kind of the nick and 132 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 3: that it kind of worked. 133 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's T shirt sales, all right, you need to 134 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 5: get a copy right. 135 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 4: Out on say talk about acronym. I'm never gonna sniff here. 136 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 4: That's the voice of Luke Meredith, the Greenfield Central basketball coach, 137 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 4: and Braylan Mullens was there. I do want to hit 138 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 4: on Dan Hurley and you kon you mentioned obviously his 139 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 4: recruitment kind of blowing up a little bit later. I 140 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 4: know the Mullens family has talked about I think Josh 141 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 4: actually been on these airwaves talked about just how active 142 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 4: Dan Hurley was in you know, coming to Greenfield Central 143 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 4: and making sure there was a there was an in 144 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 4: person presence to that recruitment. 145 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 2: What do you remember at the interactions with you. 146 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 3: Kon their staff is great.

And also when you meet Dan Hurley, 151 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 3: he's exactly what you would think, like everybody sees all 152 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 3: these theatrics on the sidelines, and that's true.

They probably used some of those letters, 235 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,839 Speaker 5: but never to describe me as an awesome athlete or 236 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:49,439 Speaker 5: anything like that. 237 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 2: A different B word probably for me. 238 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 5: I'm telling you, get a copyright out there, Brayln Mullens BMF. 239 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 2: That's pretty solid. 240 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 4: CBS did a little like two three minute kind of 241 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 4: feature on you know, Braylan and his and his parents 242 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 4: on before the game on Sunday. But I think you 243 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:08,719 Speaker 4: know there with Luke you can kind of hear a 244 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 4: little bit more into you know, first off, they're pretty 245 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 4: honest about the late recruitment and they kind of helped, 246 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 4: you know, keeping him very centered. I know we played 247 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 4: earlier this year, Mark after one of. 248 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 2: The Yukon games. 249 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 4: You know, Dan Hurley kind of went down that path 250 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 4: of you know how Brayln Mowlens is wired. And you know, 251 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 4: for a kid that was ended up being a very 252 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 4: highly ranked recruit, he's. 253 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 2: One that's going to give you something on the defensive 254 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 2: end of the floor. He's one that's going to continue 255 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 2: to work. 256 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 4: It's not this high maintenance approach, even though I'm sure 257 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 4: the nil dollar would. 258 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 2: Indicate, you know, he he would have every right to 259 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 2: be that. 260 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 4: And if you want to look at the game itself, 261 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 4: and I think Tom creen will comment on this when 262 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 4: he joins US coming up nine. Tom Crean is on 263 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 4: the Westwood one call of Duke and Yukon Saturn on Sunday, 264 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 4: and Tom Crean tweet after the game. You know he 265 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 4: was struck by watching Braylan bowleens body language throughout that game, 266 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 4: a game that he had struggled in, you know, a 267 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 4: game that his only three point make was that one. Yeah, 268 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 4: and you know, for a freshman to be in that 269 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 4: moment to think about all the things he's not probably 270 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 4: had a great month of March to then step up 271 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 4: and you know, obviously take that shot, but you know, 272 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 4: banging home it definitely shows you just the type of 273 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 4: kid he is. And man, can you imagine what a moment, 274 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 4: What a freaking moment b MF. 275 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,599 Speaker 2: And Caravan to toss it back to him, Like, I 276 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 2: thought that was such a great play by Caravan. 277 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 5: Because you would have thought, you know, he at least 278 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 5: hit a three point. You're like, oh, okay, he'll throw 279 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 5: it up. Nope, do you take it? 280 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, but here's your most accomplished. 281 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 4: And he had just hit one like two possessions before that, 282 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 4: and he's what your fifth or six all time leading 283 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 4: sport in school history. He's been on both the national 284 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 4: title teams, Like he's the one that has earned the 285 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 4: right to shoot that. And again it's not like Braylan 286 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 4: had this great game to that point, but boy, yeah, 287 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 4: just what a head he play, What an absolute head 288 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 4: he play there. So obviously the recruitment's there from probably 289 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 4: more of an Indiana side of it than a produce 290 00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 4: side of it. 291 00:11:58,559 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 2: Make you pause a little bit. 292 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 5: So the defense by the duke defender throw throw a 293 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 5: hand up or something. 294 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 4: The next time who was that sorr Isaiah Evans. 295 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 2: Evans just didn't get a hand up there, just. 296 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 5: Like stared at he stared at it like everybody else, 297 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 5: like all right, let's see what happens here. 298 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 4: It's like the shell shocked nature of like I can't 299 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 4: believe we just turned it over. 300 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 5: I'm not in a foul I'm not going to do 301 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 5: anything here advancing the ball to and then none of that. 302 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 5: There's a lot of stuff that Duke did wrong down 303 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 5: the starts. I'm like, none of this makes sense to me.
