Ruklick was selected by the Philadelphia Warriors in the second round of the 1959 NBA draft with the ninth overall pick. In teammate Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game, he played eight minutes. Late in the game after Chamberlain has already scored 100, Ruklick missed two free throws, stating afterwards that he intentionally missed the second in hopes that Chamberlain might rebound it and get 102 points.
Ruklick attended Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. He played three seasons with the Wildcats, leading the team in both scoring and rebounds each year. Ruklick averaged 23 points and 13 rebounds as a senior in 1958–59, when he was named a third-team All-American by the Associated Press and National Association of Basketball Coaches. He finished with career averages of 19.9 points and 13.2 rebounds per game.
Ruklick guarded Wilt Chamberlain in his first collegiate game with Kansas in 1956. Chamberlain had 52 points and 31 rebounds, and his scoring total remains a Kansas single-game record. Ruklick countered with 22 points but fouled out with 9:30 remaining in the game. "I held him to 52", quipped Ruklick in 2002.
