Giles announcing 11/14

[JFCats22]

Still think UK has a slight chance, but smart money is on Duke

Rick Lewis‏@Coach_Rick57
Melissa Giles has told PHR that Harry Giles will announce his college decision Nov. 14 at the Phenom Nat'l Showcase

Obviously, we won't know for sure until then, but this reads as bad news. He hasn't even taken his official visit to Duke yet, which is scheduled for this weekend. Unless he cancels it, I have to interpret this as him calling it for Duke.

Everyone knew it was a longshot, but it still sucks.

So the last image in his mind from teh recruiting trail will be Big Blue Madness, with Anthony Davis hanging around, the UK dazzling facilities, and the cheers of a packed Rupp arena attending a scrimmage.

Yeah but apparently K is his milkman or something.

Unfortunately no, he is taking an official visit to Duke this weekend.

 

[gossie21]

I've not been very optimistic about landing Giles. Which is too bad, he's like a Chris Webber clone. Can't win them all I suppose.

His final official visit is this weekend at Duke.

 

[crawfords corner]

Good to hear. Won't have to see anymore pointless threads about him. Thisnone being an exception. Thanks, OP.

 

[Ron Mehico]

He's been Duke the whole way. Everyone has said Duke the whole time, for the last year. If you are disappointed by this, its on you.

 

[mj2k10]

You, in all your wisdom, should have let Cal know about this. I'm sure he would have appreciated it.

Yes, everyone knew he was likely to end up at Duke. Cal never stopped pursuing him, and got him to make an official visit 2 weeks ago. Excuse those of us who held out a glimmer of hope.

 

[TyCatPrice14]

Would be a great pickup!

 

[minjo]

Until he says it is Deviled dooke, I will hold my fingers crossed .

 

[gossie21]

He's announcing too early, he should wait until after the UK/Duke game and commit to the winner.

 

[caneintally]

Dead on . No way no how was he even ever considering anywhere else. Period but Cal has to try .

 

[Rhavicc]

The only way I would consider being excited about this announcement is if De'Aaron Fox says he's announcing on that same day, and he lets that be known in the next couple of days.

Positive: At least we should get De'Aaron Fox somewhere around then.

 

[Cawood86]

He's going with the phony in Durham.

 

[Macy's socks]

So the last image in his mind from teh recruiting trail will be Big Blue Madness, with Anthony Davis hanging around, the UK dazzling facilities, and the cheers of a packed Rupp arena attending a scrimmage.

Actually his last image will be of Coach K sitting at his birthday table holding a fuzzy stuffed bunny and smiling lovingly.

 

[Don't TrashTheCats]

gossie21 has it right. He should wait until after the UK/Duke game and commit to the winner.

 

[Rossardio]

Well at least he's ending it soon. GL to him at Dook.

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

Too many people put too much stock into when a H.S. player takes an official visit whether it be BBM or some other weekend. If you're a 17/18 year old H.S. kid wouldn't you go? Free trip, free game, etc. Much like Harris from Berea last year in football. Went to almost all of our home games....then chose Bama.

 

[Play some D]

I still think it's 50/50 we get him. I can't see Cal waisting so much time on someone he thinks he don't have much of a chance landing. I think we are still in play and the dookies should be worried. They could miss out on him much like we missed out on Newman & Brown last year.

 

[thecatsareback#8]

Meh...

Let me preface with saying I would love to have Giles. Say he does go to Duke and we get Fox and Monk...

I wouldn't trade Monk and Fox for Giles and Tatum. Guards win in March

 

[Mark Gastineau]

Having seen the basketball facilities at both places, that should work for Kentucky.

Not trying to take anything away from UK's resources, but you're severely underrating what Duke has to offer.

Go on...

 

[Willy4UK]

hahahahaha

Yeah sure..

 

[Willy4UK]

Well UK's resources don't include booster jewelry loans. So yeah, you do have us beat in that category.

 

[JerseyCat84]

No Cal doesn't have to try.

 

[kyjeff1]

If we had ANY other head coach I would agree with the one's saying UK has no shot but it's very interesting to me how Cal has gone after HG lately. You never know with Cal.

 

[Mark Gastineau]

Well UK's resources don't include booster jewelry loans. So yeah, you do have us beat in that category.

Very on topic. Kudos. You clearly know a lot about Duke's facilities.

 

[Willy4UK]

moron

Pardon my laugh Mark, while I continue to not give a shit.

 

[CELTICAT]

Duke also has the market cornered on frumpy Jewish cheerleaders.

 

[stoneycat_20]

Everyone move on with Giles..He's been a dukie for like 3 years...He has invited coach K to his birthday party the last couple years...Harry was just enjoying the process ..We have 2 good forwards in SKJ and Gabriel

[kentucky_wildcat_#1]

Even though it's likely this kid is going elsewhere, i'm still going to believe we have a chance and will continue thinking this until it's official and he has verbaled to Duke or wherever he is going to play at. This kid would be the final piece to an all time epic class. Without him we are just looking at a great recruiting class. What a great situation to be in. Thank god for Cal.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Very on topic. Kudos. You clearly know a lot about Duke's facilities.

Aren't you and TUL the ones who were swooning over the Duke campus, posting pictures while trying to convince us why we're missing out?

 

[KMKAT]

Mark, why open that can and not follow up with something to add to the conversation?

But how awesome would it be for Giles to say 'to the victor goes the spoils' 11/17?

 

[Bluegrass79]

Fox committing before Giles will be UK's last try at turning Giles. Point guard matters.

 

[Mark Gastineau]

That would be unprecedented and pretty epic indeed.

I hate these kinds of bigoted comments. Just embarrassing.

By the way, Google Bar Rafaeli and let me know if you still think Jewish girls are frumpy.

Did I say all Jewish girls were frumpy, or just the duke cheerleaders? One would be a generalization, but the other would be entirely accurate. Would calling them zaftig have hurt your feelings less?

 

[irishcat1965]

Whether he goes to UK or not, next year's class wil be outstanding.
