Ulis Schedules Official to Kentucky

Tyler Ulis, who recently picked up an offer from Kentucky, has slated an official visit to the campus the weekend of Sept. 8, when Kentucky hosts its annual Alumni Game, his father, James Ulis, confirmed to SNY.tv.

Ulis will reportedly join Jahlil Okafor, Devin Charles Matthews and Derrick Jones for the Alumni Game, which is expected to feature members of Kentucky’s 2010 class against the 2012 class.

The 5-foot-9 Ulis out of Chicago Marian Heights will also visit Iowa (Aug. 30-Sept. 1) and Michigan State (Sept. 6-7). He is also considering USC.

Ulis picked up an offer from Kentucky during an official visit last Friday.

“He got an offer,” his father, James Ulis, told SNY.tv.

“He’s happy. It’s Kentucky.”

Kentucky has also offered 2014 point guards Tyus Jones and Emmanuel Mudiay, both of whom will be in New York this week for the Elite 24 game Saturday night in Brooklyn.
