Tyler Ulis

[jwm24_2000]

You can take any pg in college, I'm taking this guy, if he isn't all American that would be a disgrace, he'll honestly I think right now he's sec player of the year

 

[KyFord]

Agreed, he should be a candidate for National Player of the year as well

 

[BigKari]

GOAT

 

[kennywalker34]

After we beat down LSU in Rupp he will be SEC player of the year..

 

[Saguaro Cat]

 

[ORCAT10]

Tyler makes my list of top 5 all time favorite Cats. So intelligent as well as talented. A tremendous leader. Doesn't ever get tired. Doesn't even seem to sweat much. Sure would love to see him return for his jr season.

 

[richbrookstomato]

He had Player-of-the-Year numbers today.

He has to be a 1st team AA, no doubt!!

27pts
12 assists
2 steals
All on the road playing for 1st place in the conference when your HC gets thrown out before the 1st TV Timeout!!

 

[Hoskins91_rivals]

We have to win the conference. It's tough not to give it to the guy averaging 19, 12, and 5 on the team currently in 1st place.

That's right, LSU and Johnny Jones know it's coming.

 

[spotter34]

Tyler is my favorite PG of all-time at UK. He's the epitome of what you want in your PG to the exceptional degree. To me his best play today was after making a turnover he makes a steal then calmly throws a 35-40 foot oop to Lee. Nailing the door shut on any hopes the Gamecocks may have had in making a game of it.

 

[BigBlue1992]

Agreed! Every game he does things that make you shake your head and wonder how he does it.

 

[ukwazoo]

That's right, LSU and Johnny Jones know it's coming.

Johnny Jones probably doesn't know it's coming.

TU is SOLID! NBA player for sure.

 

[ZenCatFan73]

I feel confident saying Tyler is Cal's best PG and in contention for one of UK's best PGs ever. He's a better PG than Wall was when he was here. He should be an all-American and the POTY frontrunner.

 

[joeky]

If he stayed 4yrs would go down as the best guard to ever play here.

 

[Kycatspaws]

Needed someone to step up? How about Tyler Ulis. Career highs in points (27) and assists (12).

Payne: "The story is Tyler Ulis."

Kenny Payne: "I never touched on offense. Didn't have to. Between Tyler Ulis and Cal, they're on the same page."

Coaches gave me the green light to call my own plays. - Ulis

That's so awesome.

 

[kyjeff1]

Seriously, is there any pg in college the last 5+ years that is better?
What previous pg would you take over Ulis? I don't want to start a huge discussion on it but come on, project him through his senior year and tell me there has ever been a better pg, as a sophomore, for UK. I can't think of anyone I would take before Tyler. He gets better every game. Kid blows me away.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Not only the 12 assists, but only the 1 turnover. One turnover, 37 minutes, 85%(est.) of the time with the ball in his hands

That one turnover ended up being a halfcourt alley oop with an and-one because Tyler hustled and got it right back.

 

[westerncat]

Best PG in the country now. Not even close. Should be AA.

 

[On-On-UK_rivals45415]

Ulis makes me proud to be a UK fan.

 

[jeffygray]

Ulis makes me proud to be a UK fan.

Jay Williams said plain and simple after the game that you have to put Ulis name in the hat for player of the year.

 

[Bkocats]

That's so awesome.

that about Ulis sent shivers up my spine - if the coach and the PG are so sympatico, just......wow

 

[KYCAT78]

The best PG to play at UK in my 50 years as a fan.

 

[Fancatstik]

In retrospect we were lucky Mudiay didn't come here or we would never have gotten Ulis.

 

[fatguy87]

Ullis having a better season than Wall by a mile, but he's not getting the same recognition for All American because of a lack of NBA draft hype.

 

[Blueblood410]

In retrospect we were lucky Mudiay didn't come here or we would never have gotten Ulis.

Mudiay is one of my favorite non-UK players just for this reason alone.

Don't think Mudiay would have been fine backing up Andrew last year, nor would he likely still be around and who knows what our PG situation would look like. Probably Briscoe, who, while decent, isn't a great PG.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

You can take any pg in college, I'm taking this guy, if he isn't all American that would be a disgrace, he'll honestly I think right now he's sec player of the year

I agree.

 

[Hoskins91_rivals]

He closes the year strong he'll be an all-American.

 

[4UK]

Tyler is playing as well right now as any PG I can remember at UK.

 

[musrat59]

He also made a little history today by being the first UK player to have two 20-point and 10-assist games. How about that!

 

[sambowieshin_rivals]

I feel confident saying Tyler is Cal's best PG and in contention for one of UK's best PGs ever. He's a better PG than Wall was when he was here. He should be an all-American and the POTY frontrunner.

Give Tyler Ulis the same team Wall had and I truly believe we would have another title banner hanging in Rupp. He would have drilled threes and carved up that stanky West Virginia zone defense.

 

[UKNumberOne]

The best PG to play at UK in my 50 years as a fan.

Been a fan for about the same amount of time... also can't think of anyone better than him over that span. If he would happen to stay 4 years.. no doubt in my mind he would re-write the UK records books.

In the Calipari era, Wall was really, really good, but he didn't conduct the offense like Ulis...

 

[26MichaelUK]

that about Ulis sent shivers up my spine - if the coach and the PG are so sympatico, just......wow

Exactly. Well said.

 

[hotelblue]

maybe the shortest all-american team ever but he deserves the pg spot. he just does. he's also our mvp. that stat about him contributing 45% of our offense is crazy. 12 assists today and it was still true again even though we scored 89 lol. that % actually went up slightly. amazing. he's a great basketball player, and a great leader for this kentucky team. he should be an all-american. first team.

 

[jameslee32]

Seems others at ESPN are finally waking up to Ulis. Sean Farnham has been the only guy on him all year.

This!

 

[Kats23]

Best game of the year from him was today in my opinion. His passing was incredible

Great assessment. I think I agree! [thumb2]
