Evan Daniels on Giles at UK or Duke

2. If Duke lands Harry Giles, to go with Jayson Tatum, would there be a better 1-2 punch in college basketball in 2016?

   Since I've covered recruiting there hasn't been a class w/ four top 10 players. Kentucky has a legitimate shot: Giles, Fox, Monk & Gabriel
   

 

[SmoothRunner32]

Coach Cal did say that this could be his best recruiting class ever...

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Aren't 1-2 punches kind of reserved for players of varying skill and position? Like a PG to a PF?

And what about 2013? According to ESPN we had 5 in the top10??

If this hold true, it will derail some of the RR recruiting gurus.

Pardon my Twitter ignorance but is that Zagoria saying Giles to Wake or UK

Thanks, Darryl

Zag responded to the Giles to Wake comment with: "Is that a joke?"

Ulis going to the NBA after this season. Fox will play the 1, Monk will play the 2, Gabriel will play the 3.

Not necessarily.

Dj hot handz?

 

[UK-chulo]

This is a pipe dream. Love to see it though.

 

[MWes11]

Dj hot handz?

Yeah. Not sure how much he actually knows or if he is just throwing something out there to see if it sticks. He is from the Chapel Hill area and has 14,500 twitter followers.

No, some DJ/UNC fan.

The person making the prediction, 'DJ Hot Hands" is some kind of UNC-CHeats booster and Duke hater, based on his twitter account. I wouldn't put much faith in what he says -- but I also don't think Duke is even close to a lock with Giles. Dozens of these recruitments have turned inside out with a visit that just captured a kid's imagination, as Kentucky seemed to with Giles. Look no further than Miles Bridges a few weeks ago.

DJ Hot Handz sounds like a man I could trust.

I mean, as a UNC fan and connoisseur of the 1s and 2s, I'm sure he wouldn't irrationally hope that his rival's top recruit would end up elsewhere.

 

[Ballin4nine]

I read it as Daniels is just throwing out some "what if" situations. Since Giles hasn't committed anywhere, UK is still an option and in the discussion. Still looks good UK is on the radar for 4 big name recruits.

 

[caneintally]

I will take 3 top 10 players and 2 more top 20 players and call it a class ( Fox,Monk , Gabriel , SKJ and Allen ) .

 

[wcc31]

I believe DJ Hot Handz is actually Mahktar Diaye.

 

[buckkiller]

Not getting my hopes up.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

I'm gonna get my hopes up and then fall into a dark depression.

It's more fun that way.

 

[JJBlue06]

Dj hot handz?

Not saying he knows anything or doesn't know, but he has 14.7 thousand followers. So for him to say that to an audience of that course he must know something, or could be bitter about it.

 

[crazyqx83]

Here's all you need to know about the choice of going to either duke or Kentucky if you have NBA aspirations:

Duke has 5 players in the league averaging more than 3 ppg.

Kentucky has 4 guards that play for the Phoenix suns averaging more than 10ppg.

This keeps happening with you two.

These back to back avatars, I keep thinking Chad is talking to himself.

 

[4UK]

K has adopted every other recruiting strategy of Cal's, so why not take a page from the the "misinformation right before the announcement" playbook as well? I'm sure we'll start hearing a bunch of UK talk with Giles leading up to his announcement. I'm just not buying it.

Ouch. Nice post Crazy

The only difference between me and Caneintally is I haven't predicted every single highly-touted recruit over the last 6 years to UK and haven't predicted 40-0 the last 5 seasons.

 

[Bigblueforever]

I will set back and hope that Giles pick Kentucky.

Happened with Jones, Okafor and Tatum as well.

One game is a pretty huge sample size...

 

[W_Heisenberg]

He's 10000% not coming to UK.

 

[ZZBlueComet]

If Giles is deciding on November 14th, he's made up his mind - now we just find out.

Are you even a fan? I mean come on....those are completely reasonable predictions

 

[true blue1]
