you mean like he asks his recruits to do?
In the short run yes. The wise ones that listen will make more in the long run. As Jim Calhoun always said, the real money is in that second NBA contract.

If agents are leaking to Fanta in the middle of talks huge dollar amounts and being 75% done, gotta think that’s a good sign that this is at least partially for leverage with UConn.
His agent wasn't happy how he wrote off Kentucky so quickly...now he has bigger leverage...let's see if the State of Connecticut steps up....it's beyond the AD at this point, IMO

This board needs to make up their mind. It's not about the money or he's using the Lakers as leverage and we need to up our offer. I do not think it's about leverage. I do think we need to up our offer however. It's not all about the money, but it's always kinda about the money. They don't have to match but they have to do better and dig deep. He needs to be in Self range and at least jump over Calipari. He has earned it. So have the assistants.

Just an aside GOAT said that Dan should speak with the Lakers. That’s it, speak. Calhoun would not offer bad advice to Hurley.

No… he needs to meet him on the damn tarmac with the contract and a pen.
as much as i despise PC, i think that crazy group would have already organized a please stay gathering at the airport/along the roads for Hurley if they were in the same situation.

Fanta is plugged in on the UConn side of this FWIW. Who knows if he's hearing bogus stuff from the NBA side.

Would imagine once the LA meeting is over Hurley knows what he is doing but will not tell Lakers yes or no because he doesn’t want the information to leak- if he has decided Yes to leave- would imagine that he wants to meet with the team first face to face & let them know instead of them hearing it from the internet or another reporter. Have a feeling the optics of this whole thing is very important to Hurley & that if he is leaving he wants to make himself look as good as he can.
