Class of 2019 CG Joe Girard III (NY) SIGNED WITH SYRACUSE

[SU in Hershey]

The Dallas Maverick’s head coach makes the list! He was my team’s coach during one of my years at the Big Orange Basketball camp! Hard to believe he’s only 10 years older...but that’s a big difference when you’re not even 10 yo yet.

Not sure on the defensive end, but Hughes, Buddy and Girard on the arc, Merak at the FT line, and Oshea underneath would be hard to guard.

Assuming JG3 translates to the next level; Buddy and JG3 both on the floor together would be our best sharpshooting combo for us in recent memory

I think he is going to be a good player here. I think he will show better facilitating instincts once he gets on campus and realizes A) he can't score at this level like he did in high school and B) doesn't have to. And the underrated thing is he is going to be our best end game FT closer since g-mac.

Totally agree. I also think he comes in feeling a bit disrespected, and really has that underdog mentality that the great ones thrive on. I know not making the Mikey Dees game bothered him. He's a great get, and imo will be a player we are thankful to have gotten sooner than later in his career.

From deeeeep with two guys in his face...

When you have to guard the guy BEHIND Buddy!

That bottom one looks like it is from about 30 feet.

With Mareks passing and improving ability from deep - a lineup like that will literally give QG the ability to play one on one in the lane lol; Tyus would thrive. Shame we couldn’t get Stewart

Glens Falls beats Gloversville 94-84, winning its fourth consecutive Foothills League crown.

JG3 finishes with 56 on 17-30 shooting and nine made 3-pointers.

and jb can go big with braswell and jba & not lose much shooting.
a drive and dish point guard with this roster could rack up a ton of assists

He's like 3 feet behind the NBA line. He's just off the hash mark.

 

[PhatOrange]

It's crucial we have a point guard that can beat people off the dribble. This will free up the shooters.

 

[OrangeYaGladi]

Imagine a world where JG committed elsewhere last fall...

... Now imagine the incessant complaining in this thread all winter...

So glad we were spared.

Who do we think he compares to in college? GMAC, Jimmer, the kid from Ohio State a few years ago.
