Hey then, or I am Gary Parrish.

Welcome back to CBS Sports Eye on college basketball podcast,

where we sometimes discuss camel fighting dodo birds, le black matt norlander is here with me if you're

watching on youtube there's only one proper way to honor brandon davies that would be by smashing

the like button if you haven't yet subscribe to the i own college basketball podcast please also do

that while you're here let's get into it it. The place to start, I think,

it's Yukon, where Brayland Mullins has agreed to return for his sophomore season, despite

being projected as a clear first-round option in the 2006 NBA draft. Norlander, you handled

the headline for us, CBSSports.com. So why don't you talk us through Brayland Mullins' decision to become the rare, guaranteed

first round pick to return to college?

And in your opinion, is this a direct byproduct of NIL and revenue sharing, combining

to make it sensible for Mullins and prospects like Mullins to at least consider returning to college

I mean, Yukon is almost definitely going to be paying him more this upcoming season than he would have otherwise earned this for the next season in general.

Now you get into the conversation of, okay, when do you want to start your NBA clock?

And, you know, there is an unclear line of delineation between how good a player is now versus how good a player stands to be when they go to the next level and how good they can be two, four, six, eight years down the road. But you got to make that calculus right now. Nothing is guaranteed other than the money that you cut is going to pay Mullins as a result of coming back. I don't have that number on a personal level. I will be shocked that that number is at minimum lower than $2.5, if not $3 million. And well-earned money, by the way, he is the author of the most significant shot in the history of that program, and that is saying something considering what Tate George did once upon a win, and of course the name Kemba Walker Walker among the other all-time greats at

Yukon. So they actually got a double banger of a headline on Saturday. Mullins was the second

one. He announced he was coming back on his 20th birthday of all days on Saturday. And that came

about three and a half, four hours after Nick Homenia, who was on campus last week in stores,
