Will Tyler Ulis Head To The NBA Next Season??????

Tyler Ulis is a 5'9" sophomore point guard for the Kentucky Wildcats. He played high school basketball at Marian Catholic High School in Chicago Heights, Illinois. This is being written because I believe if he has a good season in 2015-2016 he's gone to the NBA. Why do I say that? Here we go with the reason why I feel that way: He has NBA skills in shooting,passing, defense,leadership, and midrange game. What he was missing as far as not having an NBA skill is his weight and body type. When he came into college basketball he was 150 and a skinny 150. He could be pushed around and would have a hard time holding his spot on the floor because of lack of definition in his body. Well that is not the case now, he is noticeably stronger in the arms and in his legs. He should now not have any problems holding his spot on the floor, it will be harder to post him up. His liability is he will always be 5'9" so to me if he has a good season he will have nothing else to prove to the NBA Scouts. He's not going to get any taller so not much more upside to gain. Also no matter how long he stays in college he will not be any more than a second round pick because of his height. Whenever he leaves college he will still have to prove he can guard the bigger guys. I think at this point in time his body is ready to deal with NBA guards and I am confident he's going to have a big season in college basketball. I think he will end up the best point guard in college basketball which will mean not much left for him to do but go down. Also he's able to get into the lane at will right now and has that 1 year of college experience. Remember the NBA drafts on upside and not much more room to grow in upside for a 5'9" point guard. In conclusion I say Kentucky fans if Tyler Ulis has the season I think he will then this would be the perfect time for him to head to the NBA. I wouldn't want to lose him but that would be the right time for him to strike that match and light it. This is my rant for today God Bless and Peace to the Creatures.

Will Kentucky FINALLY Get A Player From Huntington Prep(WV)???????

It's just a tad frustrating when you think you are so close to something and it slips away. Afterwards you sit there and think: I didn't really have it in the first place. This is how I feel about Huntington Prep Basketball players coming to Kentucky. I thought for a log time we had Andrew Wiggins locked and delivered to Kentucky. Then one player would commit to Kentucky, then another, then another, then......well you get the picture. It made it to the point that there was too many chefs in the kitchen for Andrew Wiggins to come to Kentucky, he ultimately went to Kansas. Than his Canadian countryman Montague Gill-Caesar, another one I thought was locked and delivered to Kentucky. Then the weirdest thing happened? Montague Gill-Caesar RECLASSIFIES in August and signs with Missouri(he has since transferred). Now we have Miles Bridges (6'7" 220 pound forward), he can jump out of the gym, a decent outside shooter, can handle the ball and slash to the basket, very explosive athlete. He is considering about five schools but to me it's really down to Michigan State and Kentucky. If he goes to Michigan State he can play the 4(power forward) position and thrive as a college player, Sparty is selling him on being another Draymond Green, I for one think that small ball stuff is a fad in basketball and will go away quickly. Kentucky can sell him on playing the 3(small forward) position and maybe some 2(shooting guard). He can be an interchangeable athlete in Kentucky's system. Now to me the difference is Tom Izzo does not get one and dones, he tried to get Jabari Parker but as you know was not successful. Michigan State just does not have players that get to the NBA quick, it takes them awhile and there is nothing wrong with that. The thing is Miles Bridges has the ability to be a one and done player, and to me there is not better system in college basketball than Kentucky for this kind of thing(proof is in the pudding I don't have to name the countless players that have been successful). So in conclusion if he wants to get the NBA quickly then he needs to go to Kentucky, if he wants to be patient with it and take his time go to Michigan State(though Kentucky could do the same for him). I have a feeling we FINALLY get a kid from Huntington Prep. Makes sense for Kentucky since Huntington Prep is so close to the campus(though we have not made a dent yet). As it is I think we will know by the early signing period if this jinx will be lifted with the Huntington Prep to Lexington pipeline. There you have it, take care folks.
