Weekend Basketball Recruiting Notes: Ingram, Giles, new recruiting feature
Posted Apr 14, 2014
Roy Williams made two important recruiting stops to end the week last week.
Thursday, Williams was in Kinston, NC for an in-home visit with class of 2015 5-star small forward Brandon Ingram. Ingram currently holds an offer from UNC and the Tar Heels are very high on his list. Ingram has visited UNC on multiple occasions and is also considering offers from Louisville, NC State and Duke, among others.
On Friday, Williams was in High Point to visit with class of 2016 5-star power forward Harry Giles at Wesleyan Christian Academy. Giles is a teammate of 2014 North Carolina signee Theo Pinson and is considering offers from UNC, Duke, and Kentucky, among others. Giles is rated the #1 power forward in the 2016 class by Scout.com.
Also, we're testing a new feature to the Tar Heel Times basketball recruiting section called "Where's Roy?", which tracks Roy Williams on the recruiting trail after each visit using a map interface and a description of each visit. Hopefully you'll find it useful as we head into the summer recruiting season.
