Duke Basketball: Freshmen Injuries Trigger Déjà Vu

Having the last name of Giles and being a fan of Duke basketball makes me all too familiar with the disappointment that stems from watching a much-anticipated recruit spend the majority of his time as a Blue Devil nursing an injury rather than actually playing.

Having a surefire one-and-done player sit on the bench most of the season serves as a distraction by messing with the minds of the other players and the hopes of the fans.

So I’m crossing my fingers that Cam Reddish and Tre Jones don’t end up testing the skills of the medical staff at Duke and the patience of Dukies everywhere as much as Harry Giles did.
