Future Wildcats – photo from McDonalds
Although the 2012-13 season didn't go as planned, the next wave of Kentucky Wildcats re-ignited the excitement level of the Big Blue Nation with strong performances at the McDonald's All-American Game in Chicago.
Kentucky signees Andrew Harrison, Aaron Harrison, Marcus Lee and James Young, who all suited up for the West team Wednesday night, flashed signs of brilliance against the nation's top high school talent in the annual all-star game at the United Center. UK can only discuss prospective student-athletes who signed a national letter of intent with Kentucky during the fall signing period, per NCAA rules.
The Harrison twins quickly lived up to their reputation as two of the best guards in the country with an alley-oop from Andrew Harrison (No. 1 point guard according to Rivals) to Aaron Harrison (No. 1 shooting guard according to Rivals) just a few minutes into the game. The duo continued to selflessly distribute the ball throughout the first half, giving the West a 56-44 lead at halftime.
