On May 20, 2008, Hulls committed to play for Indiana University, turning down an offer from Purdue.[4] Of his commitment to Indiana, he said, "Being a hometown kid, that definitely factored into it. Being a part of bringing the program back to what it used to be appeals to me."[5] Hulls also noted he had been a lifelong Hoosier fan, in part because of his family's connections to the program.[5]
