Throughout the week, the NBA Draft combine has taken place. This is an event for players — especially the not-so-well-known guys — to impress a team or two, improving their draft stock and likening their chances to hear their names called on draft night,  Perhaps the most watched story-line in the draft is the story on the Harrison twins, and where they will land, and most importantly, if they will be separated. What do the twins themselves think about the possible separation?

"That most likely stands to change after June’s NBA Draft. The latest mock draft from Sporting News’s Sean Deveney has the San Antonio-born, identical brothers separated, with Andrew Harrison going 29th to the Brooklyn Nets and Aaron’s stock dropping to the second round. Even if Aaron continues to slide, odds are against him falling to the same late-round team that picks his brother. And they are both surprisingly at peace with that. “We’re excited about it actually,” Aaron Harrison recently told ESPN’s Andy Katz. “I mean, I love him more than anybody in the world, but we’ll be fine,” Andrew Harrison explained to Katz. “It’ll be fun to be looked at as an individual. We can be able to show the world what we can do without each other.”"

In more news for basketball, LaGerald Vick, a 6-5 SG who is currently listed as a 2016 recruit (but that could change), is taking his UK visit throughout today, and will extend through tomorrow. Earlier in the week, news broke of his offering to Kentucky and right now, it is between Kentucky and Kansas.

"Four- star shooting guard LaGerald Vick has planned to visit Kentucky after his Kansas State and Kansas visits. Now we know exactly when he will take that visit. According to his AAU coach Norton Hurd, Vick will visit Kentucky this coming Sunday and Monday. Kansas will host him on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Last weekend Vick, a 6-5 shooting guard from Memphis (Tenn.) Douglass High School, had what was termed a “great” visit to Kansas State. Originally a 2015 prospect, Vick reclassified to the 2016 class when he committed during the season to SMU. Since decommitting, he is being recruited as a 2015 prospect. A final decision, however, has not been made on what class he will be in."
