No. 2 prep plans KU visit

Harry Giles, a 6-foot-10, 220-pound senior forward from Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Virginia, who is ranked No. 2 in the recruiting Class of 2016 by Rivals.com, will visit Kansas University for the Oct. 9 Late Night in the Phog, Giles’ dad told CBSsports.com.

Giles, who is from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, also will visit Wake Forest (Sept. 19), North Carolina (Sept. 25), Kentucky for its Big Blue Madness (Oct. 16) and Duke (Oct. 31).

There has been talk of a possible package deal between Giles and No. 3-ranked Jayson Tatum, a 6-8 senior forward from Chaminade High in St. Louis who has committed to Duke. The two were roommates at the recent Under 19 championships in Greece, which was won by the U.S.

“I’d love to play together, but we have to do what’s right for both of us,” Giles told Yahoo! Sports in July.

In late July, Giles spoke to Zagsblog.com about his finalists.

Of KU, he said: “Great program. They’re known for developing bigs. Coach (Bill) Self is cool, the coaching staff is really cool, so you can never go wrong with them.”

Of Wake Forest, he said: “Coach (Danny) Manning is a great dude. He’s from North Carolina as well. We’re kind of similar. Wake Forest is in my hometown where I live so Wake Forest wouldn’t be a bad deal, either.”
