Ulis to Arkansas
- Thread starter LXWildcat
- Start date
Disappointing decision. Can't he look at Cal's coaching tree and recognize he's not the horse to tie your wagon to?
Loved Ulis...not a shocking move...But
His role is Cal's paid friend, validation and yes man. He can out coach Cal to be sure. He makes Cal feel good about himself, like Cal is helping someone which boosts Cal's feelings that he's changing lives.
Wish him the best but huddling up with insecure Cal... As Cal keeps his familiar,"yes" men around him... Likely not best long-term plan

I hate it that I agree with you about loyalty to a team. If college basketball is going to be saved, there are going to have to be several revisions to NIL money and transfer rules. But it will be near impossible to do now that the players have gotten a taste of power and money.🤣🤣🤣 No he doesn't. That is what is so comical about so many fans. We are never going back to the days when "playing for the name on the front of the jersey" was the end all, be all.
Reed Sheppard was "one of us" so everyone said. Where is he now ? I'm not hating on the kid (or any of them no matter where they are from). Yes I believe all of them cared about their time here and loved it but in the end, it's about what's best for them. All these folks wanting to go back to "knowing" the players - they never did know them, they were just here longer because that was the way it was.
If Trent Noah, Travis Perry or any other Kentucky kid who comes here and feels after a year or two they aren't going to see significant minutes they will be in the portal just as fast as the next player. There might be an exception here or there but not many.
The days of a former player never dreaming of going to a Louisville, Tennessee, Arkansas or dare I say dUKe🤮
G O N E AND folks better get used to it.
I really am afraid the game we all loved won't be recognizable anymore. It is really sad when you think about it
You nailed your post.
In all seriousness, you’re 1000% wrong. And that’s me being nice.
I dont get people being upset by this.
UK didn't offer him a job so he has to work somewhere.

Exactly. Ulis is new to coaching and at the very bottom of the ladder. I wish him the best of luck in his coaching career and will be following
Anyone surprised by this, you don’t understand how the coaching ladder works in college sports. This is not a surprise, given his current desire to pursue coaching full time.
Sure Ullis played here, but is he expected to only develop as a coach here too? False outrage. Good luck to him.

He needed employment. Grad asst time was over. Cal will take care of him.
In reality what could he do for CMP?
Doesn’t know his offense and defense. Couldn’t teach it. No recruiting experience. No time to wait on him

I mean he was good but nowhere near as good as Andrew Harrison and he's looked at as a failure
Go figure. We have a very strange fan base
Andrew would have destroyed ulis if they played each other
While I really wish we could’ve gotten Ulis to stay with us, I Understand 100% and am soo proud of him. Not a kid I want to succeed more in the coaching world and even tho I hope we smoke Arkansas every single time we play them, I wish him nothing but the very best. Not a better pound for pound player to play here as far as I’m concerned. Hopefully one day he’ll get back to Kentucky in some form.
2015 Ulis or 2016 Ulis? Cause I’d take 2016 Ulis as my PG for any UK team.
Of course
He got abused in crunch time every big game too
2015 Wisconsin, 2016 Kansas , Indiana. He just got bullied. That's not an opinion. That's the truth
He's taking the path that he believes best puts him in a position to be a coach one day. I am not surprised.
There is something about the OP that just seems off. I may be wrong, but he appeared and immediately started threads. Didn’t take time to take the temperature of the board, etc. Thought it may have been HerroesHeroes. Spends all his time trying to rush over and repost tweets (some that are questionable). Just a strange dude imo only.
Edit- him being called out by trilly was funny as hell.
Big yikes. Thanks for outing yourself, this lets me know all I need to know about your basketball knowledge.
Yes and it s sad because he wants to be a coach and Cal has no coaching tree . Great young man but learning from the wrong guy .
You should have just went with troll. Your credibility is now trashed in the wake of you trying to post legit.
Turning on former players...Ulis poured his heart into this program when he was here. True UK fans remember the cut to the eye and bleed picture that became synonymous with his toughness.
LXWildcat...you're not a true fan if you can say this shit.
Tyler needs a job...plain and simple.
Just another example how this place is so toxic....
Lolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol
I have a good 20 trolls on ignore and LXCardinal is the newest member to that group. You can say Ulis was a bust in the NBA and be correct. You say Ulis was overhyped in college, you immediately lose any credibility, if any, that you had.
Damn, are you REALLY a UK fan, or do you just pretend to be one here? If you truly believe that, then you're either a troll or just not basketball savvy.
I'd take Ulis on any UK team; the kid played his ass off and was a very good player during his time here.
In a few years, Arkansas will catch on to Calipari's nepotism train entourage. When none of the players ever seem to improve. Expect "tweaks" of AAU ball and marketing slogans.
You cut him, he bleeds Calipari. He would have been a good teacher for Perry and Noah.
Spot on!🤣🤣🤣 No he doesn't. That is what is so comical about so many fans. We are never going back to the days when "playing for the name on the front of the jersey" was the end all, be all.

Simple Google search to help you out as I am now doubting if you're a fan or even watched UK recently.
Tyler Ulis College Awards
- Consensus first-team All-American (2016)
- Bob Cousy Award (2016)
- SEC Player of the Year (2016)
- SEC Defensive Player of the Year (2016)
- First-team All-SEC (2016)
- SEC All-Freshman Team (2015)
- SEC tournament MVP (2016)
I wouldn't go that far. He likes the coach he played for and wants to work for him. Nothing to hate at on that front.
That’s more than likely the stupidest shit I’ve seen on this board lol.. that’s saying a lot too 🤔
I think you made that up. I keep seeing people claim this, but no one has been able to prove it. Regardless, Ulis wasn’t a grad assistant at UK. Which speaks to how much of bullshitter you are that you didn’t even know that.
Yeah, that's an all-time take. I didn't bother quoting it. That's the type of post that gets shared on Message Board Geniuses and then we all get bad rap.
Ulis was a 5-foot-8 PG who won SEC POTY, Defensive POTY, and First Team All-American, and won the SEC.
I don't even know how one makes the claim he was overrated.
