I don’t really believe it but here’s what someone said on X about Ulis
I agree. But also he hopefully looks at Cal’s coaching tree and see it’s pretty sparse.I don’t really believe it either
But I’m gonna be honest here…would love it if true
He’d be the perfect bridge
Not to mention the dude was tough as nails and didn't back down from anyone. Loved him. He was a better at coaching on the court than Cal was from the sidelines. As a leader, he seemed to really hold his teammates accountable as well.Ulis has the potential to be UK's Jai Lucas when it comes to being an assistant.
He has instant street credibility. He has massive connections with the Chicago and Midwestern AU circuit. He's close to Towns, Murray, Fox, and obviously Booker.
He's be a perfect bridge to our NBA players.
Yes he would.I don’t really believe it either

Ulis is a done deal for Arkansas. Nothing can be announced until he graduates from college this summer.
Cal's coaching tree is a stump.I agree. But also he hopefully looks at Cal’s coaching tree and see it’s pretty sparse.
He has massive connections? Do detail them please.Ulis has the potential to be UK's Jai Lucas when it comes to being an assistant.

How does having friends help exactly?Ulis played for Mean Streets and still is plugged into the Chicago AU scene. I taught two of the Fears brothers and they said Ulis is a constant presence in the Chicago AU scene, knows virtually all the heavy hitters, including and especially Tai Streets and his staff.
That, and the fact that he played a full contract assignment in the NBA, helped at Kentucky under Calipari for two seasons, is close friends with Towns, Murray, Fox and Booker, etc.

Did you ignore the part about him being heavily connected to the Chicago AU scene?How does having friends help exactly?
I just don’t think you’re thinking clearly. First UK players of past will be loyal to Cowl or not based on their personal relationships with him not just because TU is rocking UK gear after Cal. Second, I don’t rember a single player up to this point saying he was instrumental in making a decision to play for Cal. Do You have examples?Did you ignore the part about him being heavily connected to the Chicago AU scene?
Plus, if you want to bridge Pope to Cal's former guys, Ulis helps in that regard.
Unless of course you're one of those fans who doesn't think utilizing 10 former NBA all-Stars, plus Jamal Murray, is a wise move to make for future recruiting endeavors.
I think your lack of vision on establishing connections with Cal's former players is shortsighted and minimal.I just don’t think you’re thinking clearly.

Yup that would be amazing. Show your love for the school!I don’t really believe it either

Those guys that went to UK who embraced the experience I promise they identify as a Kentucky wildcat first. Former cal player second
So did the players that played for former coaches. However they didn’t feel apart of the program over the last few years because of the disconnect. Ulis would be that connection on a personal level.
Mr. Wildcat was the anchor for years. Rock Oliver might end up being close to that. You need guys around that have relationships with former players to keep the blood running blue.
They should always feel welcomed and apart of the program. That establishes the culture of Kentucky across the chest means more because it does.
He got a hold of some of that food down errr and wants out. I knew it!I don’t really believe it but here’s what someone said on X about Ulis
