Former Kentucky Wildcat Dirk Minniefield has been around the Harrison Twins since they were 12 years old and thinks they, along with Julius Randle, are the real deal and will be pros after their time at Kentucky.
Rick Bozich of WDRB wrote about Minniefield’s connection to the Twins:
Minniefield’s last conversation with the twins was several weeks ago. This is what he told them:
“You think you know what’s ahead of you (in college), but you don’t. You can’t. Nobody can. It’s bigger than anything you can imagine, day by day. It was bigger than I imagined and I grew up in Lexington. But just take care of your business and you’ll be fine.”
Minniefield was in Indianapolis this week watching his son, Darin, compete for the Houston Defenders at the adidas Invitational AAU tournament. This is what Minniefield had to say to UK fans awaiting the start of the Harrison Twins Era:
“They’re everything people say they are. You look out here right now at the guys who look like they’re playing hard. They don’t touch the twins. They’re at another level of competitiveness. So is Julius Randle (another UK recruit from Texas).
“I thought all three of them would be pros from the time they were 12. I haven’t seen anything to make me change my mind. They’re the real deal. Trust me on that.”
