The injury was sustained in the first few minutes of Oak Hill's season opener against Moravian Prep. Giles is the number one recruit in the 2016 class according to most recruiting websites.
Now to the good news, the recruitment is coming to an end.
The college decision is expected to be between Wake Forest, Duke, and Kentucky.
Giles tore his left ACL, MCL, and meniscus in 2013 and had successful surgery to repair that.
We wish Giles the best of luck in his recovery and hope to see him back on the court wherever he winds up next season.
Harry Giles, the nation's top basketball recruit, is set to announce his college decision tomorrow on the noon SportsCenter. While he will announce his decision tomorrow, he cannot sign his national letter of intent until November 11th. Just this morning, news broke that Giles suffered a torn ACL, which is the second time that he has suffered that injury. He will miss the remainder of his senior season. He previously missed his entire sophomore season.
Harry Giles, the No. 1 player in the country, is expected to announce his college decision tomorrow at 12 p.m. on @SportsCenter.

Harry Giles is down to Wake Forest, Duke, Kentucky, and Kansas. Many national analysts consider Duke to be a strong favorite at this point. For Wake Forest fans, tomorrow will mark the end of a recruitment that many Wake fans have followed since he was in middle school. The phenom is a product of Winston-Salem, and has been impressing college coaches since that time. It's scary to see how good he was back then, and how much his game has evolved.
We wish Harry Giles a full recover from the ACL injury, and the best of luck wherever he chooses to attend school.
