Hurley trying to sell Furphy on playing with Darius Adams & Braylon Mullins ...

Not sure Furphy is too high on having to compete with 2 other guys who are just as good as him in his class as well as upper class men for playing time right away ...

Is Mullins a done deal?

F5ing doesn't matter to him since there are no ads on the site (and even if there were, you weren't clicking them).

Pretty sure he wasn't referring to any sort of monetary gain that the site may have had at that time. I will just give you MY personal perspective having been an ardent F5'er during the Groce years. I love where the program is at NOW, and wouldn't trade if for anything. BUT, the sheer excitement, and multitude of posts, and the meme's (there were a TON of them! IMO the only recent one that even compares is the F-Yeah Girl!), Loyalty After Dark, and the unique poster persona's (many of which are no longer here), were NON-STOP excitement and drama and homerism, and Illini euphoria, and it was GLORIOUS!!!! The entertainment value ALONE was sky-high. Truly a Golden Age of Illinois Loyalty!

Doesn't sound like the right sell to me.

I guess. At the same time, are others saying they won't find others in the portal to compete against him? Perhaps the devil you know is better than the one you don't.

Guys looking for spots based on roster construction and playing time are kinda chasing a phantom. The whole system right now must be generating a ton of frustration from both players and coaches.

Hurley seems to think it is ... Other people associated with Mullins (AAU coaches, people I know from his hometown) all have told me UConn ...

I do think it's important to point out that they only offered half of what IU did ...

And I've been told by numerous people plugged in at IU that the offer was nearly $1.5 million ...
