A bit of a surprise
C. J. Giles will enroll at Kansas, not Washington.After Giles was released from his commitment to Miami, I had the 6'10" center headed to Washington. Figured Romar's magic, the Huskies late season success and the allure of playing close to home would be too much to overcome.
But I forgot that Giles' pop, Chester, played at Kansas in the late '70s. Following David Padgett's departure and Self's failure to ink Malik Hairstonk, I - perhaps, and only for a moment - also doubted Kansas' ability to secure top-level talent.
No more. The Jayhawks will be just fine come fall.
