Branden Carlson Rumors

Branden Carlson: “Right out of high school for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I went on a mission, I was in England for two years. And so for those two years, I am just out there spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ, doing service, taking service opportunities where I can get them. I don’t play basketball for those two years. From 2017 to 2019, I touched a basketball maybe a dozen times.”
