NBA Draft Class 2014: Harrison Twins to Return To Kentucky, John Calipari For Sophomore Seasons [VIDEO]

Somewhere Kentucky coach John Calipari is breathing a sigh of relief.

Freshman 19-year-old twin stars Andrew and Aaron Harrison announced on Friday they will return to the Wildcats for their sophomore seasons and the chance to play in another NCAA title game.

Calipari and the Wildcats started an all freshman lineup much of last season, advancing to play UConn in the title game and falling just short of bringing the school its second title in three seasons and following in the footsteps of 2012 freshmen led class sparked by Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.

Andrew Harrison averaged 11 points, four assists and three rebounds per game for the Wildcats, while Aaron Harrison chipped in with averages of 14 points, three rebounds and two assists.

Most mock draft boards had Andrew Harrison rated slightly higher than his brother, but both had raised red flags with their suspect ball-handling, which could have easily dropped both of them into the second round of the June 26 draft.

During the NCAA tournament, Aaron Harrison also displayed a flair for the dramatic, swishing late, go-ahead threes against Louisville, Michigan and Wisconsin
