MAY 2014 ■ 41 ■ BASKETBALL RECRUITING ISSUE the first crack at him, but he has four official visits remaining. "When I look at Carolina play, I see my- self as a three who can run the floor in tran- sition," Ingram said. "When I see myself at Duke, I see myself coming off screens. I don't know how many three-pointers they shoot per game. I love their system. With NC State, they keep developing and have a good recruiting class coming in." Ingram has been a frequent unofficial visitor to NC State football and men's bas- ketball games the last few years. He watched small forward's Scott Wood and T.J. Warren closely at PNC Arena. "T.J. Warren is the man out there, and they just give him a lot of freedom," Ingram said. "The three position gets a lot of free- dom, and I like that." ■ Harry Giles Sophomore • Power Forward • High Point Sophomore power forward Harry Giles is recovering from reconstructive knee sur- gery last June. The skilled and versatile prep prodigy suffered a torn ACL, MCL and meniscus while playing for the USA 16-and-under squad June 12 in Maldonado, Uruguay. He has been medically cleared to play, and has done some light workouts that new Wake Forest head coach Danny Manning and Duke assistant Nate James attended at High Point Wesleyan Christian in mid- April. Giles hopes to return with the Chris Paul All-Stars 17s at some point this spring, but his long-term health is more important than playing in some traveling tournaments or individual camps. He elected to watch the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League open- ing weekend April 25-27 in Sacramento, Calif.

"I am at the point where I don't have to go back and forth to rehab," Giles said. "I've been able to stay at home and do different stuff on my own. I started off at Greensboro, then Duke and then home or a local gym." Giles said he doesn't feel any pain, but does get some occasional soreness. "It will get sore, but they said it would," Giles said. "I knew that was coming. I'll be working out and you feel a little something, and you think: 'Oh, what was that?' "You have to work it to get it stronger, but I'll get tired. You don't want to mess it up, so sometimes you have to stop and sit down." Giles has heard the stories of the rehabs and comebacks of Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson and Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose. One dif- ference that gets lost is Peterson and Rose are pro athletes, while Giles is still a high school student. "I pretty much just focused on rehab and school," Giles said. He has been able to work on perfect- ing his shooting form over the past sev- eral month, and also served as an "assistant coach" while High Point Wesleyan went on to win the North Carolina Independent Schools 3A state title in late February. "That really was the only thing I could do, get up shots," Giles said. "My shot was Rivals.com ranks High Point Wesleyan Christian power forward Harry Giles as the No. 2 overall player in the class of 2016, despite the fact he missed his sophomore campaign after suffering a knee injury last summer.
