Harry Giles partially tears ACL, out for season

[UKnation87]

Some very unfortunate news for this young man. Wish him well and a quick recovery.

The kid is a walking injury. Better take the "best offer" quickly before his career ends for good.

2nd tear in 3 years... right knee was bad with both the ACL and MCL. This is in the left knee. My mind quickly went to Bill Walker from a few years back. Great talent but bum knees.

Ha. Mine went to Greg Oden since they're both big guys.

And, Bill Walker...don't get me started.

He has also pushed up his announcement date to tomorrow.

Unless the kid ha a major change in heart he will be Duke bound.

 

[douggie]

Wherever he signs and ends up, he obviously will have to stay three years to prove his knees are reliable.

 

[UKnation87]

Duke has to be the place he lands per multiple reports... this is obviously just my opinion but I'm not sure he'll stay more than one year douggie. I'm sure the NBA GM's will have him dissected up and down prior to making a decision. He may not be the #1 overall pick but someone will take a chance within the lottery.

Douggie was probably being sarcastic.

This is probably Bzdelik giving his final middle finger to the Wake basketball program.

This is without a doubt my favorite post when it comes to the Harry Giles recruiting saga:

Note: It's from a Wake fan's perspective

Every once in a while, it's like we collectively forget that we support a cursed program. Our coach DIED for fucksake. He DIED. Who else does that happen to? NO ONE.

Or he'll just do like Quincy Miller and leave for the NBA before he proves that they're not reliable.

 

[douggie]

He picked Duke to go ahead and start his rehab.

 

[Hitman Hart]

What a strange recruitment.

Glad its finally over.

After listening to the kid talk I have no clue how he qualified to get in to Duke. Maybe he's just a poor,public speaker but sounded like a straight moron

 

[Hitman Hart]

WE DIDNT WANT YOU ANYWAY

LOL, BTW, I don't think he was awarded an academic scholarship. If that had been the case I'm sure he would have gone to Iowa.

He still has to qualify though. Like I said maybe he just is a terrible speaker

Most of these players are retards.

and what college player is a good speaker? But yes, he does sound horrendous

You just need a 2.3 high school gpa to qualify. Any college athlete can do that. Any high school student can do that if they work for it and take advantage of help provided to them.

Which is nonsense. You don't realize how dumb the majority of these players are.

I think you underestimate how much support they're given how easy high school is. Just showing up and putting in the effort is basically enough. They get an automatic A in their basketball practice P.E. Class...
