Harry Giles, the No. 1-rated player in the Class of 2016, got a visit Tuesday from Kentucky coach John Calipari while UNC coach Roy Williams and Kansas coach Bill Self are due into Oak Hill (VA) Academy on Wednesday.
Oak Hill coach Steve Smith Tweeted this picture of himself and Calipari on Tuesday.
Smith also said Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski and Wake Forest head coach Danny Manning were in to see Giles last Wednesday.
Calipari visited Edrice “Bam” Adebayo on Tuesday following his Hall of Fame induction over the weekend.
The 6-foot-10 Giles will begin his official visits this weekend by going to Wake Forest Sept. 19. He then hits North Carolina on Sept. 25, Kansas on Oct. 10, Kentucky on Oct. 16 for Big Blue Madness and Duke on Oct. 31.
Giles wrote in his USA Today blog that he and his best friend Jayson Tatum would be a “problem” should they team up at Duke.
“Of course everyone wants to know if we’re still planning to play together like we’ve been talking about and it’s definitely something that we still always talk about,” the 6-foot-10 Giles wrote. “He knows I’ve gotta do what’s best for me the same way he did, but Duke is a school that’s high on my list and if it works out like that it’s gonna be a problem!
Giles’ father told me at the Peach Jam his son would likely announce in the fall.
