\"BIL-BJ-MULLENS\"<\/p>\n

Do you remember BJ Mullens? The 7'1 high school beast from Canal Winchester who could throw down between the legs dunks and once followed up a 46 points in 3 quarters performance with 62 points - 28 of 34 shooting while scoring 36 of the team's 38 first half points - 21 rebounds and 3 blocks in a single game!<\/p>\n

He also shot 71% from the field during his award-heavy senior year, was ranked #1 in his class by Rivals.com, and received some high praise from streetball legend Rafer Alston during the 2007 Elite 24 game at Rucker Park, where Mullens connected on 9 of 10 shots and scored 14 of his 18 points in the first half.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat kid can play,\u201d Alston told InsideHoops.com<\/a>. \u201cHe\u2019s special. He\u2019s got a chance to play at the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n
