Harrison Twins Pick Kentucky Over Maryland

Andrew and Aaron Harrison just announced they’ll be attending Kentucky. The twins, considered Top 5 players in the Class of 2013, broke the hearts of Maryland with the decision, which was made on ESPNU. (I find it hard to believe a College Park bar was “packed” watching this decision, but hey, stranger things have happened.) Andrew is a 6-foot-5 point guard; Aaron is a 6-foot-5 shooting guard.

The Harrison Twins are the first players in the top five of the Class of 2013 to make a decision. Julius Randle from Texas is considered the best player in the class; Jabari Parker of Chicago (he’s the SI cover boy) is supposed to be 2nd.

So what happened to Duke’s involvement? By all accounts they were in the running.

The free jewelry ring got busted and they did not have enough cash on hand for both twins…

Has anyone heard from Queefer? First the O’s end up in the play in game then Obama blows it and now Maryland loses recruits to Kentucky. We need to keep sharp objects away from him.

Any truth to the rumor that Kentucky and Louisville stopped recruiting PG prospect Anthony Barber because he stole a cell phone and jewelry during his official visit to the Louisville campus?

Bad run of events for him. Dirt wants him dead as well.

I am a mess. With those two the Terps would have been an absolute monster in 2013-14. They will still be damn good but Harrison’s would have put them into elite status.
I just unfollowed about 15 college basketball writers on twitter.

Oh well. It’s just sports.

But are you crestfallen?

Oh and expect a violent atmosphere Nov. 9th at the Barclay Center. The two fanbases have been sniping on twitter and college basketball blogs for a long time about this recruitment.

Got to hand it to Calipari he has built an absolute machine. He is most likely clean now but anyone who does not question his tactics and alliances up until about four years ago is absolutely delusional.

Give it time, Sears. Give it time. Cal has led a trail of destruction behind him. He has gamed the system for now.

Well, he’s probably paid enough for it.

I’m not too pleased about this. Fuck.

Fuck you, Calipari. Fuck you.

Fuck you, Calipari. Fuck you.

And, unfortunately, we’ll all have to deal with it until the NCAA starts sniffing around. Once that happens, he’ll bolt for the NCAA again.

What a fucking sleazeball.

If the NCAA wont bring down UNC basketball, what makes people think that they will bring down UK basketball? The simple fact is that he can only start 5 players, and only roster 13. Lets say he turns over EVERY SINGLE PLAYER ever year, and then gets the top 13 players every year that he wants. Well, that means players 14-100 are still left out there for others. Does that mean you can beat UK? Not likely. But talent doesn’t ALWAYS win out.

It’s a shame really that twitter had to throw away 17,000 “Who will stay at SMU longer, the Harrisons or or Larry Brown” jokes. What a waste.
