John Calipari apparently hasn’t given up on Harry Giles just yet.
The Kentucky coach watched the 6-foot-10 Giles on Tuesday night as Oak Hill Academy (Va.) beat Moravian Prep (N.C.), 88-43 in their season-opener at Galax High School (Va.)
Giles is the No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2016 and the projected No. 1 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. He’s considering Duke, Kentucky, Kansas and Wake Forest, with Duke the overwhelming favorite.
“I think they [Kentucky] have a chance,” Oak Hill coach Steve Smith said last week on The 4 Quarters Podcast. “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.”
