Adam Zagoria spoke with legendary Oak Hill Academy basketball coach Steve Smith about his superstar Harry Giles’ recruitment and he thinks Duke isn’t the only school with a chance to land him.
Still, Smith said Giles enjoyed his recent visits to Kansas for “Late Night in the Phog” and Kentucky for “Big Blue Madness.”
“I think they [Kentucky] have a chance,” Smith said. “I know everybody thinks he’s going to Duke and they may be the frontrunners still, I’m not sure. He loved his visits to Kentucky and Kansas. I think Kansas opened his eyes a little bit to other programs besides Duke because I think in his mind Duke was the favorite but then he goes to Kansas and he really liked the visit.
“And then he goes to Kentucky the following weekend and now he’s down to just the one visit because he’s not visiting Carolina again. He’s down just to the Duke visit.”

Don’t forget that Giles will play in Kentucky at the Marshall County Hoopfest on December 3rd and 5th. The game on the 3rd will be televised on ESPN.
It might be a good idea for the BBN to show up for that one, that is if he hasn’t already announced his college decision for another school by then.
