Thursday was going to be a huge day for somebody. When twins Aaron Harrison and Andrew Harrison announced their college decision live on national television, Kentucky scored yet another major victory on the recruiting trail and landed a backcourt capable of keeping the Wildcats in the Final Four field. It wasn’t a slam dunk for John Calipari and the Wildcats as the 6-foot-5 twins from Houston (Texas) Travis, who rank Nos. 3 and 4 nationally, didn’t have an easy decision. Maryland is rebuilding andMark Turgeon and his staff had deep ties to the twins, while Hall of Famer Larry Brown of SMU made a compelling case. “Coach Calipari presented a challenge for us and he told us it was going to be hard, it was going to be tough, he was going to push us every day,” Andrew said during the nationally televised announcement on ESPNU. “That’s what we wanted to hear. We want to become better players.”
