Harrisons to commit to UK at halftime???……… Keep your minds guessing…..
Andrew and Aaron Harrison should choose UK for their college experience as they would be loved and adored like no other UK player before them. It is a special thing that twin brothers are extremely talented and in the top 10 of their class and want to play college ball together and they can do that at UK and probably capture a championship at the same time. A perfect fit for the twins awaits them at UK.
