Dana O’Neill of ESPN.com has written a piece on Kentucky’s returning point guard Tyler Ulis and how important he is to the Wildcats chances of winning a national championship.
Even more important than the incoming freshman.
And perhaps for the first time in Calipari’s tenure at Lexington, the returnees might just be more critical than the freshmen. Seven players said their goodbyes to Big Blue Nation at the end of last season, meaning that essentially Calipari would be starting from scratch again.
Now more than ever he needs a veteran to lead, which makes point guard Tyler Ulis the most critical player in a Kentucky uniform, maybe the most critical returning player in the nation.
