Kentucky Basketball: The Harrison Twins Are Trying To Sway Other Top Recruits

Apr 2, 2012; New Orleans, LA, USA; Kentucky Wildcats players rub the head of head coach John Calipari as he holds the NCAA National Championship trophy after defeating the Kansas Jayhawks 67-59 in the finals of the 2012 NCAA men

As Adam Zagoria reported earlier, it looks like the Wildcats are getting a little help on the recruiting trail.

A division 1 “source” had plenty to say about this.

“They want it to be their team. They want it to be everybody followed us [to Kentucky].”

“Them playing with James Young, that’s good for James,” the source said.

 

Those are strong words. Players can also play a huge role in the recruiting front. As much as it means to you, I think they will play a role in the recruitment of James Young.

In other recruiting news, we also have an update on Andrew Wiggins. On the same night that the Harrison twins committed to the Wildcats, Calipari went back on the recruiting trail to see Andrew Wiggins.

Calipari has made Wiggins a priority for this recruiting class. This seems to hit into the direction of Wiggins being likely to reclassify.

Andrew Wiggins has been labeled as “the best amateur basketball player in the world” by many recruiting analysts.

Although it may be unlikely, could you imagine a class that consists of the Harrison twins, Julius Randle, James Young, and Andrew Wiggins? That would be a almost guaranteed championship team.

Calipari is making it felt that he isn’t going to stop with the twins. He keeps wanting as many talented players as he can get. You can expect us to be in route to a monster 2013 recruiting class.
