For UK, it’s battle of the QBs

Theracesare on

Touted twins will likely give Catstop-rated backcourt in 2013

timeout sports

The Edge runs every Friday before a UK footballgame. It breaks down two key matchups between UKand its opponent, then gives an overall Edge to oneside or the other.

UK quarterback Jalen Whitlow vs. UK quarterbackPatrick Towles

With Maxwell Smith out of the lineup for an in-definite amount of time, potentially the entire season,UK will be splitting its quarterback duties betweenthese two freshmen. Both have their pros and cons, butit certainly won’t be easy for two freshmen to be shar-ing the job against a ranked opponent.

Whitlow holds an advantage in experience, thoughit is slim. He played virtually the entire game lastweek against South Carolina and saw some time at theend of UK’s week four matchup against Florida. Thefirst-team offense may be somewhat familiar withWhitlow, but there are still kinks to work out.

The downside to Whitlow is that however athletiche may be, and however strong his arm is, the offenseis not catered to a player of his nature. It is designedaround Smith, a pocket passer in a short-pass, spreadoffense. That kind of scheme would benefit Towles,another pocket passer, much more than Whitlow, aplayer who creates opportunities with his athleticismand not his ability to throw a wide receiver screen.

Towles is a highly touted recruit who fans havecalled for since Morgan Newton’s embarrassing per-formance in the Swamp. Phillips said he would not re-move the freshman’s redshirt unless he was going toplay, and with Smith out he now has a chance to play.

That being said, Towles has been limited to run-ning mostly the scout team offense in practice and hasnever taken live snaps at the collegiate level. Neithercandidate will have a firm grasp of the playbook bySaturday, and should UK fall behind like it did in thesecond half against South Carolina, it will be toughsledding for the Cats’ quarterbacks.

Edge:Who knows? No one has ever really seen ei-ther play, with Whitlow having played essentially onegame and Towles sitting with a redshirt thus far. Thetwo bring opposing styles to the table, which couldconflict with the players around them at times, but can

also keep a defense off balance. The Bulldogs do notknow what is coming just as much as UK doesn’t, andPhillips addressed that very advantage in his pressconference Monday. Don’t expect UK to be operatingon all-cylinders against Mississippi State, but it will beintriguing to see if UK can put together any strongscoring drives and who the quarterback will be if ithappens.

UK defensive front vs. Mississippi State running backLaDarius Perkins

UK now has a few games under its belt in its new4-2-5 defensive scheme, and weakside linebacker BudDupree had arguably his best week at his new positionlast week against South Carolina. Dupree recordednine tackles including one and a half sacks. With heand senior defensive end Taylor Wyndham on the fieldat the same time, UK has a large defense anchored byDupree and middle linebacker Avery Williamson.

Freshmen linebackers Pancho Thomas and KhalidHenderson are beginning to see more and more play-ing time as the season progresses, a sign that Phillips isseeing more confidence in his young players. At thispoint, the head coach has little to lose.

Defensive tackle Tristian Johnson was in on sixtackles a week ago against the Gamecocks and willlikely start again in place of junior Mister Cobble, whois still recovering from an infection stemming fromflu-like symptoms. Johnson and fellow defensive tack-le Donte Rumph caused disruptions in the South Car-

Andrew and Aaron Harrison have offi-cially announced they will attend the Univer-sity of Kentucky.

In a live broadcast on ESPNU Thursday,the twins revealed they will accept UK headcoach John Calipari’s scholarship offer, end-ing months of speculation.

“We want to win and knew we could winas soon as we get there,”Aaron Harrison said.

The twins’ commitment solidifies thelikelihood the Cats will have the top-ratedbackcourt in the country next fall.

It will be difficult for any other team incollege basketball to match the talent UKnow has at the guard positions in next year’sclass.

“Coach Calipari presented a challenge forus ... he would push us every day. We justwant to be better players,” Andrew Harrisonsaid.

He also said that the twins “felt like rock

stars” during their UK visit.With the twins secured, Calipari can now

turn his attention to padding out the rest ofhis roster.

A strong backcourt at the college level in-stantly propels UK into 2014 Final Four con-tenders, despite having just three players con-firmed for the 2013-14 season.

The Harrisons join Mt. Washington, Ky.,native Derek Willis on next year’s squad.

With close connections to Maryland’sschool sponsor Under Armour and family re-siding in the Baltimore area, it would nothave been a huge surprise if the twins hadelected to head to College Park.

Instead, they will soon call Lexingtonhome, for a year at least, in news that willplease Cats fans and commits alike.

Prior to Thursday’s announcement, Willisgave an insight into how he was feeling in thelead up to the Harrison twins’ decision beingmade public.

“Just as anxious as you are,” he saidMonday.

Harrisons to UK

Now that word is officially out that top-five recruits Andrew and Aaron Harrison areheading to Lexington, you can already placeyour bets on UK being labeled favorite forthe 2014 NCAA national title.

Of course, any team with the best pack-age deal backcourt in college basketballwould instantly become No. 1 contendersfor a championship, but UK head coachJohn Calipari isn’t done with this recruit-ment class yet.

In fact, he’s just getting started.Julius Randle, James Young, Andrew

Wiggins, Marcus Lee and Aaron Gordon arejust some of the big names Calipari is work-ing on having join the Harrisons and Mt.Washington, Ky., forward Derek Willis inuniform at Rupp Arena next season.

Randle and Young have both visitedcampus in recent weeks. Wiggins and Leewill be in Lexington on Oct. 12 for BigBlue Madness, and Gordon is planning on

making an official visit to UK in the com-ing weeks.

Young, the top-10 guard out ofRochester, Mich., shares the same positionas Aaron Harrison, but his godfather be-lieves the two can co-exist on the sameteam.

“Wherever he decides to go, he reallywants to have a legitimate opportunity towin a national championship,” Sean Ma-hone said to Ben Roberts of Lexington Her-ald-Leader’s Next Cats.

“He looks at (the Harrison twins) as giv-ing him an opportunity to achieve one of hisgoals,” Mahone said.

“Because wherever he decides to go, hereally wants to have a legitimate opportuni-ty to win a national championship. And youcan’t do that unless you have quality playersaround you.”

Although Young could likely move to areserve role, he would likely have the sametype of effect on the 2013-14 squad as UKall-time leader in games played DariusMiller had on the 2011-12 national champi-onship team.

Randle’s recent decision to cut Dukeand North Carolina from his list of potentialschools came as a surprise to many recruit-ing observers.

The two powerhouses were thought tobe in contention for theRandle’s services, butafter his recent officialvisit to UK for theSept. 15 alumni game,he has scratched themfrom the radar.

With the 6-foot-9power forward cuttinghis list to six, it isthought by many thatUK has jumped out asthe leader in his re-cruitment.

UK’s chances ofacquiring the Plano,Texas, big man maynow have been boostedby Calipari’s ability togain commitments from the top two guardsin the 2013 class.

The twins’ commitment should have noeffect on current 2014 class member An-drew Wiggins’ decision to reclassify.

The Canadian forward is the top playerin the country regardless of class and not

even players as talented asthe Harrison twins arelikely to play a role inthat decision.

However, if he wereto make the jump to the2013 class and pick UK,he would be the centerpiece of possibly the bestrecruiting class in collegebasketball history.

In fact, if this year’steam, led by NerlensNoel, Alex Poythress andArchie Goodwin, are ableto give Calipari his sec-ond national title in asmany years, the potential

for a three-peat is definitelyin the cards if Wiggins, Randle and Youngjoin the Harrisons in 2013.

Twins’ commitment could impact other recruits

UK’s Opera Theatre program will beamong the first colleges to perform “Phan-tom of the Opera” on Friday at 7:30 p.m.

Everett McCorvey, director of the pro-gram, has been trying for 10 years to get therights to perform “Phantom of the Opera.”

In November, McCorvey heard wind ofRodgers and Hammerstein releasing therights to a number of top college opera pro-grams, so he applied once again.

Because UK is ranked in the top 20 operaprograms in the nation, it, along with the oth-er 19 schools, received the rights to perform

it.“We applied last November. When we

found out we got the rights, it was still sixmonths before the contract was final,” Mc-Corvey said. “The main thing we had to dowas show that all the performers would beuniversity students.”

In May, during finals week, more than150 students auditioned for the cast.

“We had so much interest and so manygreat vocalists that we ended up having threecasts. Add in the two orchestras and more than200 students are involved,” McCorvey said.

Jacob Brian Waid, a vocal performancejunior, is among the men playing the role ofthe Phantom. At 20, he is the youngest per-

son to play the role. “I feel a great responsibility, but I also feel

a lot of freedom with it since I am so young. Ican truly make the role my own and not feelthe influence of those older,” Waid said.

Rebecca Farley, a vocal performance ma-jor, will be among three women playingChristine, the lead female role.

“This experience has opened me up tomore genres and helped me be more versa-tile,” Farley said. “The thing about ‘Phan-tom’ is that everyone has a huge range. I re-ally learned how to tap into my low range.”

Elliot Lane, a vocal performance senior,is among the Raouls, the opposer of Phantomand Christine’s childhood sweetheart.

“For me, musical theater sits so well,”Lane said. “I never really paid attention to‘Phantom’ because it didn’t seem to be in mygrasp, and now here I am.”

“Phantom of the Opera” is the longestrunning musical on Broadway, having cele-brated its 10,000th performance in February.

“When I first came to UK, I did a poll ofthe audience of one of the productions weput on. On the back of the program, I askedthem to write what their favorite opera wasand hand it back in,” McCorvey said. “The

Number 1 response was ‘Phantom of theOpera.’

“I used to correct people and say, no, that’sa musical, but at a certain point, I realized that‘Phantom’ is as close to an opera as a musicalcan be. Even on Broadway, the vocalists play-ing the lead roles are operatically trained.”

Although all the performers are students,the technicians are professionals. The set andproduction is intricate, so professionals arenecessary.

Marc Schlackman, the director of pro-duction, has worked with Broadway’s pro-duction of the show.

“Marc was a stage manager on Broad-way and his expertise has been fantastic. Hewent to New York recently and met with thetechnical staff to see what they do and howthey do it,” McCorvey said.

“There are absolutely higher expectationsfor this. Everybody wants to see it and re-member how it was performed when theysaw it on Broadway.”

Performances will be Friday, Saturday,and Oct. 10, 11, 12 and 13 at 7:30 p.m., andSaturday, Sunday, and Oct. 13 and 14 at 2p.m. at the Lexington Opera House, 401. W.Short St.

olina backfield for much of the first half, onboth passes and runs.

Perkins will prove to be another difficulttest for the Cats’ defense. In four games,Perkins has rushed for 389 yards, averaged6.8 yards per carry and scored five touch-downs. In a week two win over Auburn,Perkins rushed for 89 yards and a touchdownto help Mississippi State secure its first con-ference win of the year.

Edge: Perkins. The defense may be able tocontain the junior running back early, butmuch like Marcus Lattimore a week ago, ex-pect Perkins to wear the defense down. Con-sidering the Cats’ troubles on offense, this de-fense has the potential to be on the field for avast majority of this game, exhausting ayoung defense with very inexperienced depth.Lattimore and Florida’s Mike Gillislee gottheir usual numbers against UK, but did sorather quietly; expect Perkins to do the same.

Overall Edge: Mississippi State. The Bull-dogs are UK’s third consecutive ranked oppo-nent, and the team’s lack of a quarterbackdoes not make the task any easier. This teamplayed with pride last week and showed moreemotion on the field and on the sideline thanit had this season. Fans also are intrigued byTowles and Whitlow, and the crowd may

once again play a factor, something few ex-pected for the Cats at this point in the year. Itwon’t be embarrassing, but Mississippi State’stalent level will prove to be as much of a chal-lenge as South Carolina’s and Florida’s were.Final score: Mississippi State 31, UK 7.

FANS VS. KEENELAND, WEATHERUK football attendance dwindled below

50,000 for a home game for the first timesince 1996 Saturday when the Cats lost tothe Gamecocks. The Cats hosted Vanderbiltin November 1996 in front of 33,000 fans.

A 12:21 p.m. kickoff during Keeneland’sopening weekend will most assuredly notimprove matters.

The forecast may also play a factor, asweather.com predicts a 50 percent chance ofrain with a high temperature of 58 degrees.

Cats fans coming to CommonwealthStadium for the game will get a chance tosee freshman quarterback Patrick Towlestake his first career snaps.

Overall Edge: Keeneland and the inclementweather.
