Tyler Ulis Close to Deciding

Tyler Ulis is close to making a college decision.

Following weekend visits to Michigan State and Kentucky, Ulis’ father said his son may soon pull the trigger.

“Tyler and I had a good conversation last night on the drive home,” James Ulis told the Herald-Leader. “We’re going to talk again later today or early tomorrow. I know it’s coming. … I think he’s ready for it to be over.”

Kentucky shifted into overdrive on the 5-foot-9 Ulis out of Chicago Marian Heights after losing Emmanuel Mudiay to SMU and amidst concerns that Tyus Jones could land elsewhere. (Kentucky coach John Calipari was slated to have an in-home visit with Jones on Tuesday.)

“We talked about Kentucky being a place where the expectations are high,” James Ulis said. “You’re expected to win and you’ve got a fan base like no other.”
