Many have thought that Aaron and Andrew Harrison, aka the Harrison Twins, will eventually pick Kentucky as their college choice at the end of October.
Adam Zagoria is reporting news from a Division 1 source that the Harrison Twins would pick Kentucky, but their Dad wants them to pick Maryland.
“The boys want to go to Kentucky, the dad wants them to go to Maryland,” the source said. “The dad’s from there. He and [Maryland coach] Mark Turgeon have known each other a long time since Mark’s days at Texas A&M. But the boys want to go to Kentucky.”
The source added: “I think the boys will win out. If they can be first, if nobody will commit to Kentucky first, I think the boys will go to Kentucky. The dad favors his hometown.”
The twins are due to announce for either Kentucky or Maryland Oct. 29. SMU remains an extreme longshot.They recently cut Baylor and Villanova from their original list of five.
The source said the twins originally wanted to announce before October in part to pre-empt any other recruits from picking Kentucky first.
“They were trying to beat James Young,” the source said. “James is gonna pop here soon.”
I’ll go down as saying I think the Harrison Twins end up at Kentucky, but it will be interesting to see how this pans out in the end.
