Harrison Twins Could Announce By Start Of Fall Season

May 25, 2012 10:34 AM

Andrew and Aaron Harrison could announce their college choice as soon as this fall, their father, Aaron Harrison Sr., confirmed.

“It’s around that time,” Aaron Harrison Sr. said. “Their birthday is Oct. 28. They want to get it done before the high school season starts.”

The twins, regarded as top 10 prospects in the class of 2013, have narrowed their list to four schools -- Kentucky, Villanova, Maryland and Baylor.

“We’re going to visit Villanova and that’s going to be the first week of July,” the elder Harrison said. “And then Maryland will be that same week.

“As far as Kentucky goes, I don’t know about that. We’ve been there twice already and my wife’s been there. It’s something we’ve already done. My wife has talked to the coaches and given them the third degree. We may visit there again and we may not.

“As far as Baylor goes that may be the end of June.”

Troy Williams To Expand Recruiting List

Troy Williams, a top-10 prospect in the class of 2013, plans to add at least two schools to his previous list of Kentucky and North Carolina, with Florida, Villanova, Georgetown and Louisville under consideration.

“We’ll probably let two more schools back in, just to see what else is out there,” Williams said. “It’s probably going to be between Florida, Villanova, Georgetown and Louisville. It will probably be Georgetown and Florida.”

Williams said his decision will depend on his comfort level with the coach.

“That’s the deciding factor, which head coach I like more,” Williams said. “I care about my relationship with the head coaches, not just the assistants. It all depends on the coaching staff.”
