Great news and welcome to Duke big guy. To all DI posters. Let us refrain from giving him the nickname "G-Man." That belongs to Mike Gminski the original. If we are going to give him a nickname let's come up with something else. I like the one that has been mentioned several times in this thread. Mr. Giles has a nice ring to it. OFC.
When it comes to Duke recruiting, our insiders are much more reliable than the 247 guys. Nothing against the 247 folks but I put full faith in our insiders first.
Some here can attest, Giles to Duke was told to us a long time ago as more than an average chance.
Eastwood and Harper?Slater is great....still not sure he's as plugged in as guys like Clint and Bryce though.
I don't follow the connection to Giles whatsoever, but I can still get behind "Mudblood."Hare-cules.
I'm visiting family this weekend, and just asked my little cousin a good nickname for someone named Harry. She replies "Mudblood."
Man is Gary-7 putting on a rant over on THR.. SMDH.
Anyways welcome to DUKE Mr. Giles.
gary is the man!
Dirty Harry?
Very Nice!!!That sounds good to me! Will he make an impact on Duke basketball? Oh yeah!

Oh I definitely don't question the info and knowledge of the guys you're following. I just have been using 247 as a guideline to get an idea of where recruits may end up going, rather than try to read into everything that a recruit may say on Twitter or where plans to announce. Seems like some fans of other teams really kept trying to hold out hope for Giles because of this line of thinking, but I felt comfortable at least checking up on 247 periodically.When it comes to Duke recruiting, our insiders are much more reliable than the 247 guys.

That's awesome dirt. What an imagination you have and a great ability to create. OFC
utI'm sure this has been mentioned, but it is remarkable to me, and unfathomable just a few short years ago: there are four top 30 players from the state of North Carolina in the class of 2016, and UNC isn't getting a single one of them.
LOL, Who said it was? I was just adding that our insiders were on top of it for a long time now. I don't have anything against the 247 people. Andrew Slater is someone I know outside of here and he is good at what he does. Good guy as well.I'm not sure when it became a contest...I kind of like Andrew Slater's overall knowledge when it comes to recruiting. I'm sure you can attest to that at least.

But don't forget they have Luke Maye
I would bet you a month's salary that there are prominent posters on THR who harbor that opinion.That's BIG LUKE MAYE gotta. BIG LUKE MAYE. I wonder if a soph. BIG LUKE MAYE is going to be better than a freshman Harry Giles. Just a thought. OFC

I don't know. They seem a little salty over it on cats illustrated. Such a classless fan base!!UK relieved because they didn't want him after his latest injury anyhow.....Haaaaa!
Kentucky idiots are now saying they are glad they didn't get Giles. Those idiots always have a excuse about everything.
