Class of 2016 PF Harry Giles (NC) to Duke

[jordoo]

Darn. I'm just wild about Harry.

And he's just wild about me

 

[reedny]

From what I recall, i actually think Francis thought Wake had a realistic shot at him. It was going to be hard to get him to leave the state of Carolina. I know UNC wants him bad, but with their situation and all...

Yeah, we think we have it tough with a few years of probation. Wait 'til the UNC shoe drops:

[pearl31]

their recruiting has been unreal for the past 2-3 years

 

[OrangeViking]

Why can't we be at the top of the food chain?

 

[jekelish]

Duke 100%

 

[pearl31]

Duke will be barely mediocre w Giles and Tatum

Ha Kill me now

Whatever. National Titles r not won on Paper.

Nope, they're decided by tiny men in our TV.

I KNEW Scooch was in my TV

 

[PeteCalvin]

Duke 100%

That list is 100% typical...aside from Wake. It's like that question on the SAT "which one of these does not belong?"

 

[HOFCeluck]

Reminds me of Harrison Barnes' top three of Duke, UNC, and Iowa State.

 

[RF2044]

Oh well--so much for that.

 

[Alsacs]

No shame in this one. Giles is likely playing in NC. If UNC didn't have the sanctions upcoming I would peg them as the favorite. With them in doubt I bet it comes down to Duke v. Wake Forest unless Kentucky clears enough cap space to offer a max contract.

 

[Libero2]

Oh well--so much for that.

It was over the day sanctions came down. We might not have even had a chance with his major preference for staying in NC anyways

Yeah, I don't think we ever had a chance. Francis had always said it was no more than a 10% chance at best because he didn't believe he was leaving NC.

 

[RF2044]

Yeah, I don't think we ever had a chance. Francis had always said it was no more than a 10% chance at best because he didn't believe he was leaving NC.

Hard not to envision this kid ending up at Duke.

 

[jordoo]

Hard not to envision this kid ending up at Duke.

I know Wake has a chance and will be there to the end but I agree.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Watch him end up at Wake. Would be awesome.

 

[jordoo]

Watch him end up at Wake. Would be awesome.

It would be great for the ACC in general and its not like Duke would skip a beat.

 

[pfister1]

Well now that it seems we're no longer in the picture for Harry Styles maybe we should offer Liam Payne or Zayn Malik. My 12 year old tells me they are the real studs in this group.

 

[reedny]

I know Wake has a chance and will be there to the end but I agree.

Wake gave us fits and Manning's definitely piling up talent there. They have a 7 footer (Washington) who's pretty decent, and that kid Mitoglu played as though he'd been struck by lightening.

[By Edit} This year they bring in even more size (Doral Moore is 7'1 and they got a 6'10 F).

I'd rather see them, than Duke, get Giles. But let's be careful what we wish for.

I hear you but Wake is a team with some history of success and one of the ACC teams that has a chance to be good on a regular basis. It would be Huge to pick up Giles against Duke and UNC. Manning has things going in the right direction.
