Giles is ranked as the top prospect in the Class of 2016 according to ESPN. Giles talked to SNY.tv about those schools in what was his Top 8 earlier this month. He has since cut Syracuse, Ohio State and UNLV from his list. Top prospect Jayson Tatum’s commitment to Duke and sources at last week’s Peach Jam suggest that Giles may be leaning toward Duke at this point.

Giles plans to announce this fall, as his father told SNY.tv at the Peach Jam.
