I said it when I first saw his highlights he's the best player in the class and would absolutely be the best player to wear Orange since Melo.

But our chances were iffy at best before the sanctions when we got ship reductions, our chances died completely. We couldn't risk waiting for a superstar, even one as good as Giles will be, especially when our chances were so small to begin with. But man before sanctions it sure was fun to think about a class of Battle, Giles and Moyer.

Also we used our 'big slot' on Chukwu, so even if the slimmest of slim hopes were still alive at that moment, they were officially over.

Frankly id expect we haven't spoken to Giles since sanctions came down. But someone like Francis could probably make a more educated comment than I in regards to that.

The only scenario I can even propose that would give us Giles would be if Battle goes elsewhere (which I've been told is an absolute lock not to happen), Giles decides he hates his home state immensely, has always had a secret love of Orange, comes up to visit on his own dime to prove that he really likes us and isn't just trying to get a free trip as an official, and then tells JB and Hop he wants in while standing in the Melo Center. While that would be the biggest most important coup we have ever had, it's never ever going to happen.

Our next best chance at a transcendent talent is going to be Porter in '17 with the help of Moyer.
