Giles announcing at Oak Hill (Virginia) and not in North Carolina

Just coming here to post this. Doesn't specify ACL, but tweet I saw said "season-ending right knee injury..."
Tweet was sent out 31 minutes ago by Spencer D. Turkin who is an ESPN affiliate and connected with Texas A&M. Not sure why/how he has the scoop. Just reporting what I see... Believe last injury was the left knee so opposite this time.
I hope not for the kid but if so I bet Cal honors his scholly offer and I support it. (not that it matters what I do.).
So if Monk got injured and had his surgery planned at the UK university Hospital...... everyone would be up in arms at UK cheating to get a player.

Wrong on purpose actually happened. I personally watched (as did hundreds more) as Marc set the bait and jones took it hook, line, and sinker. I know people like laughing about it, but if anyone cares about the truth, it happened.
Hey, if he doesn't choose UK I won't begrudge him the choice of Duke. I want him here but it's not like he's making a poor decision. Either choice will be good for his career.
Hope he has a full recovery and has a good season wherever he goes, though all signed are pointing to Duke, as mentioned. He'll make a good choice either way, he should just be focusing on getting well and coming back strong.
go to duke. get a degree from duke and be set for life. two blown out knees....might want to prep yourself for something other than basketball. if your dream of being a pro works out...fantastic.
At least I won't be ridiculously trying to read false tea leaves and look for reasons he might come to uk for the next week.
Wherever he goes? LMAO... come on. Its Duke .. UK doesn't even have a .00000000000000000000001 % chance .
Haha. I will not speak on the ethics of that guy but I totally remember that.
What really sucks is in addition to that monster class they are probably getting, they are unlikely to lose much off this year's team (Plumlee who has rarely played, Jefferson who is a good player but not as good as what they will have replacing him, and probably Ingram). The last one is the only one that is significant.
I wish Cal had the sources you and some other posters have. He is constantly chasing these kids he has "no chance" of getting. So frustrating Cal isn't better at this stuff.
Past tears of MCL and ACL in Left Knee and now a partial tear of the right ACL. Tough breaks for a talented kid.
The kid may never play college ball. He may just be smarter to rehab and sit out next season and enter the draft. Another injury could cost millions. As is, once he gets a clean bill of health, he can still go upper end of lottery.
We might be better off if we don't get him. He is a great player, but who knows if he will even fully recover from the injury. As someone else mentioned, he might be better served to sit out next year and plan for getting and staying healthy for the draft. Time to go all in on whichever other big man Coach Cal wants.
I'm not sure I'd prefer Giles over Allen after this latest injury. He may not be ready by next season and if he is, we don't know if he'll be as good as he was. I can't imagine two major knee injuries not hampering his explosiveness and athleticism. I do hope he recovers and plays in the NBA, but I just don't see him as the same prospect as before.
