Highly doubtful he leaves NC with Duke, UNC, and WF the favorites. 247 has him pretty strong for Duke.
 
Harry Giles? Isn't that the guy who left One Direction?

Decision day for Giles. He'll announce on ESPN at noon. Thought this was worth a bump considering he's the best player in the country and was recently in the news for tearing his other ACL.

Anyways, about 99.9% sure it'll be Duke. Anyone else possibly see him at a different school?

I know some Wake fans here who really believe he'll go there. Strong connection with CP3, both from Winston Salem and he played on his AAU team. I believe he was also roommates or at least close friends with Brandon Childress when he was playing in Winston Salem - who committed to Wake for 2016. They're hoping he goes with the hometown hero route since he projects to be 1 and done anyways - could be a legend at Wake (like Chris Paul did) and play for Danny Manning who had a similar body type and went #1 overall in the draft. Or he could be another guy who was a star at Duke. That's the thought process I've heard from Wake fans, anyway.

Regardless, most signs really point to Duke, and I'm personally thinking more 80% Duke, 15% Wake, 5% Kentucky.
 
Duke. No surprise.
 
Ugh. I wish Coach K would retire already. Of course they'd replace him someone even worse, like Wojo.
 
Yeah, no surprise there. Coach K playing Cal's game is scary, because he can actually coach these players. Also, I hated how they spent 30 seconds talking about Duke and then 5 minutes talking about UK. The hype is too real and that's the stupidest thing.

@EvanDaniels: Harry Giles (@TheReal_HG3) tells Scout that Kevin Ollie and Connecticut just offered him a scholarship.

Top 5 player in his class.

Good. We will see him at the final four in Houston. His last college game, will be a loss to US !

Exactly, K recruits just as well as Cal now and with his coaching ability it's scary. Giles is nasty but has totally wrecked both of his knees already.

His right is only partially torn, not wrecked

Good thing we don't recruit players who have knee problems...um...uh...never mind! :)
 
It's strange. And I thought I would never ever- under any circumstances whatsoever say this- but I would rather see rat face and Dook win a NC vs UK.
At least for the time being- Dook is still a basketball school and they are much better for the college game then UK. If K starts converting Dook into "one and done U" I will reserve the option to change my mind.

I really think kids should be able to go get paid and play a few years in the D league at a lesser salary - the fact they can not is changing the college game and it's BS. Lots of these kids families could use the money and if you are good enough - GET PAID. It's Merica for gods sake.
 
The sentiment on this board for K over Calipari puzzles me. There is no greater whiner as a coach on a basketball court than ratface. Yes Calipari had run ins with JC in he past, but frankly if I have to rate which program I wish to lose more, it's Duke no contest, which is the all time fawned over program.

K >>>>>>> Calipari. Every day of the week.
 
K is a CLOSE JC buddy, that's all I need to take sides with. After JC won his 3rd NC, the very next night he was a guest on K's radio show from Durham. Do you think Cal would do the same?????:)
:):)

That's the only problem with K, he whines. And he's a bit of a hypocrite. Other than that he seems like a fairly decent person. Obviously loves his kids. An added bonus is that duke and it's program produce all sorts of unintentional comedy as well.

There is nothing about Cal that seems genuine, outside of his constant self aggrandizement. He's such a slimy snake oil salesman. He set his program up to be a one year country club to the NBA. He'll, guy didn't even remember his daughters birthday.

Whike UK fans are some of the best in the country in terms of support, they sold their collective soul to the devil for wins, by supporting Cal. Their hypocrisy is stultifying. They used to SHRED Cal for his work at Memphis.

I could go on and on here, but I'm getting tired of typing on my phone
 
OK- another 1 and done but the stats will show Puke grad rate at 100%
 
K was our nemesis. . . Without a doubt it's move to Calamari. Even though we own Calamari he has moved past the Devils. He is worst than a whiner. He is an apologist. "I'm sorry, going undefeated in the regular season is more important than winning a National Championship". Those words would never come out of Coach K's mouth. I disdain them both. But Cal takes the cake.

Duke is so good academically, they could graduate a basketball star in a week if they had to. Don't attempt this at any ordinary college.

^^^^^
THIS

I mean reality is the answer is simple. In Coach K he beat us in 90 when we had a chance to go to the FF and since then it seemed Duke UConn hooked up in some big games every few years. And when they played each other in a regular season matchup it had a tournament buzz to it - JC vs K added. K whines, gets AMEX commercials and but he has something UConn wants, the #1 program in the country. But he's a good guy overall (minus his sudden need to target 5th year Sr's) Cal on the other hand has been a total a**wipe to the UConn program from his days at Pitt as an assistant to UMass to Kentucky. Good news is he's our biatch. And to be honest here you can't compare the integrity of Cal to K unless you live in Kentucky. Heck even the people up here in WesMass who once loved Cal can't stand the man for the most part.
