Harrison Twins
- Thread starter HeelFan58
- Start date
Caliper says the twins are going, along with Cauley-Stein, Towns, & Lyles . . . doesn't know about Dakari and Booker. At least that is their current intention.
For all the OAD talent that goes through UK, the Harrison twins haven't developed into top flight players it seems. I think Cal pushes them through this year . .
I haveta think that Booker is gonna opt for the league, and I'd bet money that Dakari Johnson eventually decides to go too . .

I hear UK fans talk about how Roy doesn't develop kids. The Twins were the top ranked PG & SG in their class. They've played 2 years under Cal & now are hanging on string to even get drafted.... Wonder what the excuse is for their failure?
Poythress was the #1 SF as well IIRC, Dakari was the #2 C in his class, Lee was a top 20 recruit, Archie Goodwin was also highly ranked top 10, so was Daniel Orton, Marquis Teague was the #1 PG...you're not developing anyone in one year. They might learn a few things but nothing that they could not have picked up jumping straight into the NBA. The Twins would still have sucked in the NBA and Cousins, Wall and Davis would have been stars straight out of HS. Let's be real. The only thing Cal provides is the quickest way, the path of least resistance with a good amount of media exposure.
Is that Cal's master plan?
Step 1. Keep doing the one-and-done thing for a few more years while it's still the bees knees. Eventually some kids will realize they can go be "the man" or one of two main guys elsewhere, rather than being a 15-20 minute guy on a team made up of 8 top 20 stud freshmen and a few sophomore and junior stragglers that didn't pan out. If you can't
the NBA scouts in your 15 minutes per game in your freshmen year, then well, you might as well come back. However if you come back, you're gonna get recruited over and lost in the shuffle and become one of those sophomore and juniors that didn't pan out.
Step 2. Once people start realizing the above - make a quick getaway to the NBA claiming you want to "explore new areas" or something that will come off as a complete joke since he's already tried the NBA before and failed.
Step 3. Profit.

The great UK lie has been exposed.
AD, Wall and Cousins all would be playing, and drafted, if they came out of UNC Asheville. Calipari has been exposed...

According to this tweet, they have declared for the NBA draft. Not sure how credible the source is though.
EDIT: SportsCenter reports it as well.

Looks like UK will be losing 7 to the draft.

hard to get "developed" when you play on a squad like uk and only get 20 minutes or so....i just dont think the harrisons are that good....they have gotten two years of top coaching and experience....even if they dont make the league they will be getting paid somewhere playing ball...overseas more than likely
