Ahead of anticipated college choice, Harry Giles continues to grow game

Posted Jul 16, 2015
Harry Giles still has eight schools on his list (Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, UNC, Ohio State, Syracuse, UNLV and Wake Forest). But both he and his father, Harry Giles Jr., said their top two priorities for picking a college were player development and the chance to win a national championship in Year 1, so the surrounding cast will be a major factor. "When we evaluate programs," Giles Jr. said, "we're going to be asking, who will give [Harry] the best opportunity to win it all?" (Sports Illustrated)
