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

[jdubs30]

Really hope Buddy can play the 3 some next year. Carey in the game with Buddy/JG3 will give Jalen unreal lanes. You can’t leave Buddy or Joe for a second

 

[wiseman3]

Man other fans are going to HATE JG3 and its going to be glorious.

 

[OmahaCuse]

Reminds me of Marcus Howard from Marquette. Maybe not as quick but bigger body and size

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

JB could press all game just to increase 3pt opportunities

I can’t wait to see JB’s reaction the first time he hoists a 35 footer.

Depends if it goes in or not.

 

[skurey]

He has a terrible temper. Ok I had to interject at least one negative. But so did Devo.

But if he goes to the free throw line with the game on the line...wow what a historically different feeling we all will have!

It will be an interesting test for the curse of Syracuse free throw shooting.

Unreal shooting but I don't think his ability to drive will translate in college (at least initially). Dude is going to be special on the perimeter.

What will be interesting is what he looks like if he’s in better basketball shape. He kind of looks like a football player playing Basketball at this point. Does it allow him to gain a half-step of quickness? Not sure and I’m not being critical just from watching him I feel like he could benefit from year-round hoops.

I’m still kind of unsure what to expect from him. Teams are obviously going to try and make him put it on the floor at least initially and sometimes shooting doesn’t translate in year 1.

That said I agree that — even against little comp — it’s pretty rare to average 50 ppg. So all in all, pretty interesting to watch for the next few years.

 

[Zepharus]

Man I really don't want to get my hopes up, but this cat can SCORE. some of his three's were from the parking lot and his release is already quick.

Yes I know its against opponents that wont play ACC D1, but its hard to ignore what hes doing...

 

[Zepharus]

Man other fans are going to HATE JG3 and its going to be glorious.

YUP and if he can have that marshal Henderson demeanor, to go with the game, I will giggle like a little school girl passing notes

 

[Cuse12]

Look at his FT numbers. That’s so impressive. Especially seeing how important they are last night.

 

[PhatOrange]

I've never been sure if he'll be able to take guys off the bounce and that's the one thing I've been waiting to see. But man, when you watch guys like Frank and even Buddy with the ball in their hands, I feel like Joe will be just fine and probably better.

"shi...t looked good"

Look at the coach at about the 30 second mark.

 

[Orangefan1]

JG3 at the point Buddy at the 2 = nightmare for ACC opponents.

 

[upperdeck]

it will be interesting to see how he does fri against the 6-5 guard that Schalmont has.. he is getting some Div 1 looks too

 

[orangemass]

Pick and roll at top of the key is going to be deadly. Perfect for our system

 

[Newhouser]

what level D1 is O'Dell?

 

[upperdeck]

Albany. Siena looking at him. he missed a full yr so a bit behind but a pretty good athlete

 

[dollarbill44]

JB could press all game just to increase 3pt opportunities

Then you would have to rest them, effectively negating the effect. How about we just run more in transition.

 

[Ghost]

I feel like deep 2s are a big part of our offense - that video tells me nothing of whether he can make that shot!

 

[dollarbill44]

How this kid is not a McD AA is beyond me.

I fully expect Schalmont to win but I want to see Girard will his team to victory. These two teams might be the best class B teams in the state. And just to rant, I still can't believe they have moved the state tourney to Binghamton. That's a joke. Albany area is big time high school hoops. Not Binghamton.
