That's what I was thinking. It makes sense to me that he'd want to make the announcement there because he goes to school there. In my opinion it's possible that he could've decided that he didn't want to take focus away from the tournament by announcing at the tournament. Some people just want to read too much into everything.
Whatever helps people sleep at night I guess

Update on Giles' knee;

Prep Circuit ‏@PrepCircuit
Doesn't sound like Harry Giles' knee injury in OHA's opener is anything serious. Precautionary MRI being done, likely a mild sprain/strain.

Wish him a full and strong recovery. Tough to miss his senior season. I hope the next time he puts on a jersey to play that it will say "Duke" across the chest.

Announcing tomorrow from what I read on Twitter. Tough break for the kid. Hope this doesn't become a lingering issue throughout his career.

Will he even play College basketball??
If he's lost something physically, he'll want to either use college to get his game back together and play into shape -or- avoid exposure and get drafted on speculation. He'll want exposure before the draft in my opinion, so likely college IMO. Also, knee injuries at 17 usually come back to >95%. Harry wasn't really a high flyer, but he did change directions on the break quite a bit. He'll be fine. I believe there have been several high end players have this happen and go on to nice careers. Dennis Smith will probably be pretty darn good next year.

Isn't this the second time he tore it?? If so is it the same knee?

Anything new on Bolden? Has he talked about making a decision in the early signing period? With Giles hopefully committing tomorrow, it would be nice to know that Duke is also getting another center to replace Plumthree next year.

Nah, bolden camp is silent for the time being.

People over at Rupps Rafters were using this as some big hint that UK may be the choice and I didn't get it either. Ummmm, he is announcing at Oak Hill probably because that's where he is! One poster there pointed that out but the 40 or so people that replied to the thread after him completely ignored it. Lol.

Ignoring reasonable explanations in the state of Kentucky? I'm shocked!
