There was a report this morning from Kentucky Sports Radio’s Matt Jones and Drew Franklin that the Harrison Twins and James Young were not in Lexington taking summer classes and that they were only here for the weekend.
Kyle Tucker of the Courier-Journal tried to confirm the report with Aaron Harrison Sr and he said his sons were still in Lexington.
The Harrison twins' father tells me his sons are still in Lexington and taking some classes but "a different load than the others."

Aaron Harrison Sr. said he didn't want to explain the situation incorrectly, though, and referred all further questions to UK.

James Young’s family also deferred to UK:
James Young's godfather also defers to UK for explanation of his enrollment but said "James is looking forward to playing in the fall."

UK isn’t saying anything:
UK spokesman says it is program policy not to comment on enrollment or to make the roster official until fall semester.

Jones and KSR are sticking to their report:
The Harrison Twins are not taking classes in Lexington

What have we learned so far?
1. The Harrison Twins are not taking Summer classes at UK.
2. The Harrison Twins are still in Lexington.
3. The Harrison Twins are taking some type of classes according to their father.
4. UK isn’t confirming anything about the situation.
Using what I have learned, my guess is they are taking karate classes to become an elite fighting force.
At the end of the day, the Harrison Twins and James Young will be in Lexington in August for fall classes, so even though they might be a little behind, I am sure everything will be fine.
From UK just now: "We expect all of our student-athletes, returnees, signees and walk-ons to report in August."
