Scout.com Releases 2016 Top-25 Basketball Recruits

Posted Sep 11, 2013
Harry Giles tops our first 2016 list of top 25 recruits. Giles, who missed the summer and will miss his sophomore season due to a knee injury suffered at USA Basketball, held off strong pushes by Josh Jackson and Thon Maker to check in at No. 1 overall in the 2016 top 25. At 6-foot-9, Giles has the ability to play both inside and out. His skill set is advanced and allows him to make plays around the rim, from mid-range and even from behind the three-point stripe.
