Thanks for two great years and two great runs in the Tourney. Good luck to both of them in the future.

A pair of great kids and I expect them to do quite well at the next level. Good luck and thanks to both for an amazing two years.

I'm looking at Draft Express and nbadraft.net and only 1 twin is listed in the second round.

According to this, one or both could get snubbed.

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong sources...

It's the way people say things, that should get them banned. You're statement was more of a snide remark, seemed like you're attacking the Twins.

I don't necessarily disagree with you. I'm excited for the Twins, they will always Wildcats, and great ones at that. But I'm looking forward to a new direction, just as they are.

That was a quick update to this thread. Thanks

but still the Harrison stats and replays of game action minus the clutch remains on the internet..


So much selective memory.

Pretty impressive


14 minutes ago
In 2 seasons, Andrew Harrison had 298 assists. Which is the 16th most all time at UK and the most for a 2 year player (more than Rondo)

While I do wish them luck, in all honesty it isn't going to be hard at all to replace them.

Exactly. Two-year starting backcourts which have lead their teams to back-to-back Final Fours figuratively fall out of high school classes all the time.

This is great for the Twins and Great for Cal right now.

There's lots of denial going around at the moment, understandably so, however "How" successful Cal is going to largely depend on his figure recruiting, and now he's not the only man in the room who can say he's won with really young teams. Duke has some of his Mojo in their back pocket, and the last thing we really needed was everyone hanging around until their junior and senior seasons. Duke is going to be a major player for the next 2-5 years (depending on Kay's retirement), and we don't need to clog up our roster. The more I thought about it today, the more it seemed best for all parties involved.

Duke's been a major player for all the top talent for 30 years.

Congrats on yet another stupid post.

If Ulis controlled the ball in the final minutes of the UW game and his teammates responded, different outcome. I think Ulis teammates would have responded differently.

I agree with you, and I have no idea how any UK fan could harbor anything but love for those guys. But if we polled this, it would be 98% in their favor. Some people are just being people, and I find it very ordinary when fans get irate and don't think "logically" in sports.

I also think while it might be hard to replace them, we have a coach in place that excels at the off season and recruiting. It can in fact be a very smooth transition. But thats not to diminish any of these guys.

We've been to back to back final fours because of incredible play by several young guys. Randle and Young being two of them, and we transitioned well from that. We could win a national championship next year and have as good of a shot as any team in the country.

Thank you Cal.

Not all of the Mock Draft Boards have the Twins going undrafted. I have seen a couple that has both twins in the top to the mid second round of the draft. There was one that had Aaron at #28 or #29 in the 1st round and Andrew in mid second round of the draft. We have all heard that Coach Cal was shocked that the Twins, WCS, and POY came back this year. He thought the Twins were gone last year to the NBA and alot of the Media and Experts had the Twins entering the Draft last year and they were then at bottom of 1st round of the Draft or in the top to mid 2nd round of the draft. That is where most have them now and that is why I think the Twins are leaving. They know that they have been anywhere from bottom of the 1st round to the top to Mid 2nd round of the draft. They didn't move up any and was hoping they could move up into the lottery picks.

I was really hoping against hope they would stay. Hard to believe how many players that leave early for the draft that won't even get drafted in the 1st round. If you have 80-90 players leave early not even counting seniors that are going around the country and you only have 30 1st round picks and only 60 picks total it really makes no sense.

It used to be you would only leave early if you were a lottery pick then it was if you thought you were a 1st rounder and now it's anyone and everyone.

This is bologna. I can guarantee you that neither will leave. We lose two total, and you can take it to the bank...

Take my 100 to the bank. Your wrong. We can actually do this if you want.

Wish them luck.

Can't say I agree with the decision though.

There is always room for improvement, especially when you're a second rounder.

There a lot of guys in the NBA who aren't great at one thing, but are good at everything.

That's what I would be striving for if I were them. A refined, polished game.

Oh well. Good luck to them.

I remember in the darkest days of 2013 when someone hung that banner in rupp that said "Keep calm. The twins are coming." Who knew then the ride they would take us on. I will miss these stone-cold killers, their all-business demeanor, their hard work, and their unending dedication to this team.

I think the term 'Lucky 7' is not going to apply to UK after tomorrow.

Best of luck to two fine young men who served as whipping boys for idiots, but also took us on deep runs both years.

I am forever grateful for Andrew and Aaron Harrison for their contributions to UK basketball.

Hope they get drafted and aren't stuck in the D league and/or Europe for most of their career.


Someone oust this troll
I don't think that's an unfair comment. I don't think either is projected as a 1st round pick. Many 2nd rounders spend time in the D league or wind up going overseas...Darius is currently overseas playing and spent time in the D league.
They're not even 2nd round picks. Both will likely go undrafted.

They better learn to speak Chinese.

Good luck to them if they go. Hope they don't regret it next year if they find themselves playing in an empty arena in Ft Wayne or Grand Rapids.
