Author Topic: Hard work lets Ulis live his dream catmandoo Player Member # 1284 posted 12-18-2014 05:10 PM                     He is and has been so special and has the tools to even be better. Many fans questioned the recruitment of Tyler Ulis because of his size. He was not the typical Calipari point guard. Many thought he would get limited playing time coming off the bench to give Andrew Harrison a rest. Then the Bahamas happened. Fans took notice of his high energy, quickness, passing and ability to see the whole court. He immediately became a fan favorite and leader of the white platoon. At the end of Tyler’s eighth grade year he stood 5’3″. Coach Mark Taylor watched Tyler’s game develop throughout his high school career. “He was always the smallest player on the team but he studied the game and welcomed competition. He is creative with the ball and plays unselfishly, a true team player, He plays with confidence and always gives 100 percent,” said Taylor. Taylor also had a message to Kentucky fans, “You’ve just seen the tip of the iceberg of Tyler’s game.” A year ago Tyler was playing games at Marian Catholic High School in Chicago. This Saturday he will be playing point guard for the number one team in the nation at the United Center. His family and friends will be able to see him play on the same floor that a legend called home. Tyler is truly living a dream made possible by hard work, dedication and never giving up even when the odds are against you.

He's having to put Ice/Heat on his lower legs before and after practice. Could be shin splints. -------------------- The potus is planning 1st major tax hike since '93 in next economic package!

There is not much you can do for them and rest is the best healer plus icing down as much as possible. -------------------- http://www.ukfightsong.com/ Posts: 186362 | From: st. augustine florida 32092 | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged m hamilton Player Member # 127 posted 12-18-2014 08:27 PM                     They seem more common in basketball than football from pounding the hard wood! -------------------- The potus is planning 1st major tax hike since '93 in next economic package!

I can't remember any of our players having any problems with shin splints since Cal has been here. -------------------- http://www.ukfightsong.com/ Posts: 186362 | From: st. augustine florida 32092 | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged m hamilton Player Member # 127 posted 12-18-2014 08:54 PM                     It could very well be just an individuals body break down, just like tearing an ACL. A lot of players have torqued their knees or twisted and what not, but not every one of them tears a ligament! -------------------- The potus is planning 1st major tax hike since '93 in next economic package!

They know what they are doing and bring him back slowly. When he get his usual minutes you can guarantee he in good shape. Hopefully he will be prominent in the UCLA game in front of all his Chicago fans. -------------------- http://www.ukfightsong.com/ Posts: 186362 | From: st. augustine florida 32092 | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged Bama Cat Player Member # 153 posted 12-18-2014 09:05 PM                     The way they were working on his legs when he came out it looked to me like cramps. Or maybe not.
