Harrison Twins To Return (TWITTER VERSION)




Well, as the kids say, shit just got real. This afternoon, Aaron and Andrew Harrison made it official and announced their decision to return to Kentucky for their sophomore year. 


This was an important decision because without them, the Cats would have been painfully thin and inexperienced at the guard position. With them, Kentucky becomes the most loaded team that I have seen in the last ten years. I'm not going to start with the 40-0 garbage (I was against that last time around), but this team has the potential to be one of the best in the history of Kentucky basketball.

Here are some of my favorite reactions from Twitter....


@KentMonroe:  Toughest game on the UK schedule next year will be the Blue-White game!

@KATis32 (Karl Anthony-Towns Jr.):  Popcorn anyone?

@ASmithRivals:  Tyler Ulis tells @TWalkerRivals that he "likes" the Harrisons returning. "I have always been a team player and this makes our team better."

@KySportsRadio:  Best part about all this...how absolutely FURIOUS and BUTTHURT the UL fans are about this...and I love it...Calipari 6, Pitino !

@JonRothstein:  UK has become more than a basketball program under @UKCoachCalipari -- it's become an empire. And there is nothing anyone can do to stop it.

@dandackich:  Serious thought.. I do believe Kentucky will go undefeated next year.. Seriously

@SethDavisHoops:  Surprise and impressed Harrison twins are returning. Kids are getting a lot smarter. Kentucky is a no brainer for preseason No. 1.

@DanWetzel:  Calipari will coach nine McDonalds All Americans at UK next year. That Lakers job? Current roster has five. FWIW

@ASmithRivals:  Harrison Sr to ESPN: "They probably made up their mind last week."

ASmithRivals:  Harrison Sr to ESPN: "All the information they got from the (NBA) draft was that they were middle to late-first round."

@KySportsConnect:  At any given time next year a team better than Louisville will be sitting on Kentucky's bench. #RosterDepth #YouScared?

@RJinVegas:  Kentucky upgraded from 12/1 to a 4/1 favorite to win NCAA BB Title w/Harrison Twins decision to return - via @Sportsbook_com

@UKDeWaynePeevy:  Very proud of all our guys and their decisions. We are behind each one of the 100 percent. #WeAreUK

@AaronsUKBBBlog:  ESPN's Scott Van Pelt says UK will be an overwhelming favorite to win the national championship next year
