Nation's No. 2 recruit recently suffered season-ending injury.

The news has been coming hot and heavy on 247Sports Composite No. 2 prospect Harry Giles of Oak Hill Academy (Mouth of Wilson, Va.) — and unfortunately not all of it is good.

Word began leaking Wednesday about a potential serious injury to the 6-foot-9, 225-pound senior power forward, which was especially troubling given his ACL, MCL and meniscus tear in the summer of 2013.

Multiple sources confirmed a new ACL injury on Thursday, which will cause Giles to miss the entire 2015-16 season.

Unfortunately the news leaking out regarding Harry Giles, Scout's No. 1 recruit, partially tearing his other ACL is true, per sources.

On a more positive note, the injury hasn't stopped Giles from going forward with his college announcement on Friday. He is expected to choose between Duke, Kansas, Kentucky and Wake Forest. The Blue Devils are a commanding favorite in his 247Sports Crystal Ball.

Announcement tomorrow from Harry Giles. @BlueDevilLair w the report. Duke almost 100% in Crystal Ball. https://t.co/B5CtgfUhIc
