Harrisons Waiting For Feedback From NBA Before Making Decision

Andrew and Aaron Harrison are continuing to weigh their options about returning to Kentucky for their sophomore season or leaving for the NBA.

The Harrisons are waiting for feedback from the NBA before reaching a decision.

“I just sent the paperwork in two or three days ago,” Aaron Harrison Sr told Fox 26. “I talked to a gentleman at the NBA and he said he would get it to me as fast as possible and then we’ll go from there.

“It’s important. You’re trying to find out what the prospects are for them and where they’ll be drafted and all those things.”

“It’s basically my career really,” Aaron said. “Don’t leave anything out. Think about all the angles and everything that goes into it and just try to make the best choice for your family.”

“It’s tough,” Andrew added. “You got to keep praying on it and just keep talking with your family and see what’s the best thing for you and your family.”

They've maintained they'll both leave at the same time. Probably the smartest decision. I have a feeling they're not going to look as good (which isn't very good anyway) away from each other.

The NCAA set that date as the “withdrawal” deadline for underclassmen to pull their name out of the pool for the draft. That day happens to come one day before the spring period for signing recruits to letters of intent opens up. In essence, the NCAA protects coaches by ensuring that they have an idea of whether there is an open scholarship they can fill during the window that runs until May 21.

The official deadline set by the NBA is April 27.

If they declared right now Aaron would be a 2nd round pick and Andrew might go undrafted. I'm not sure why either of them would be under the illusion that they're remotely close to being NBA level players right now. There's a good chance Andrew will never be an NBA player based on what he showed this season. Unless shooting 36% in college is suddenly going to improve vs a higher level of defense.

But they wouldn't be the first college players to grossly over-inflate their value and make the mistake of declaring.
