Demary Jr. and Mullins return to form elite backcourt duo

Silas Demary Jr. and Braylon Mullins both said it wasn’t much of a decision for them to stay at UConn another year. 

“This was home for me,” Demary Jr. said. “It was never a doubt.”

The former Georgia transfer thought about testing the NBA Draft waters, and Mullins was projected to be a first-round pick, but both opted to return, giving Dan Hurley’s Huskies one of the nation’s best backcourt combos for 2026-2027.
