The #1 player in the 2016 class, Harry Giles, is leaving North Carolina to play his final year of high school at Oak Hill Academy.
The 5* consensus #1 player is considering Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, Wake Forest and Kansas, among others. Now, he’ll play for Steve Smith, one of the best in the business at preparing players for college basketball.
Kentucky has had some success recruiting players from Oak Hill, but maybe not as much as you’d expect. Only 8 players in the history of Kentucky basketball have come from Oak Hill, and only 7 of those players were actually scholarship players.
