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

[pfister1]

'The Harvard of CNY'. This always bothers me. I love my alma mater, am very proud of it and never hesitate to tell people I'm Orange, BUT you do realize Cornell is in CNY and being that they actually ARE an Ivy League school, then doesn't it sensibly follow that THEY would be the Harvard of CNY?

Jus' sayin'.

No I think that makes BC the Cornell of Eastern Massachusetts.

freaking or freakin'.

Freaky?

The days are gone when players want to wait til their Jr or Sr to get into the rotation. Someone will fall into odd man out status and leave.

Hell, we've had a QB with Syracuse tatooed on his arm transfer. Loyalty is only as strong as playing time.

Buddy gets ticked off at the head coach and decides to transfer <G>.

Living a few miles from him I have seen his career shattering the state scoring record. Kid is reportedly 6'2" and the next Gerry Mac. Alot of talk about how he has not and might not use his remaining allotted official visits to Cuse. Cuse is 1 of his final 6 along with Duke, BC, and Michigan amongst others.

Thing is, he is already focused on football being the QB of his HS team. The reason he might not take anymore visits. He could probably play fb at, at least the FCS level. At what point do you focus on your committed sport?

I don’t get where this BC momentum is coming from...it’s a dumb decision to go there

I don’t think there’s momentum necessarily. But I read an article saying he had visited BC unofficially twice last season and had a good relationship with Jim Christian. I also speculated that BC should logically be one of his top 3-4 choices and one of the best fits if he’s looking for immediate playing time. I still firmly believe that SU is the leader and he’s just doing his due diligence. I think he likes our pitch for him to be the next GMac local hero, an upstate kid who stays in state and plays in front of family friends at the best college basketball home court in the country.

What are u trying to say? He shouldnt play his senior year of football and focus on basketball and picking a college?

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

How much PT do you anticipate him getting his freshman year should he come? And what current player is going to lose minutes to him?

He is not going anyplace to redshirt.

No, not saying that, a kid just needs to do his due diligence in figuring out where he wants to play and taking official visits is part of that.

This man knows what he is talking about, Joe (and all recruits for that matter). Listen to him.
And have some faith, all. GMac has been grinding on the recruiting trails.

In keeping with part of this thread, that's a dangling participle, Gerry.

"of which to be a part" is a bit awkward.

GMac isn’t as young as he used to be -
Your participle tends to dangle more and more as the years go by.

Just having some fun.

Me too.

Good interview. Worth a listen.

Jimmer thinks Joe will score at will on college, so he has been talking/working with him about how to score at the pro level.

Joe knows he is a multi year college guy with eyes on the pros. He wants to come in a play and contribute right away.

Interviewer asked him about Syracuse and also referenced the piece done in the paper on Joe.

He is not worried about making his selection without taking all of his officials since he went to all on unofficials.

I hope he makes the right decision. Think he would be a good fit. With gerry as a mentor especially.

He will make the right decision, for him. It may not be the decision SU fans want him to make.

What’s the scoop on Girards visit? Very quiet around here.

he said he hates SU and never actually considered going there and also the program is doomed and also we'll be lucky to land a top100 kid ever again

Gee. We only got that with your last 1500 posts.

Based on the number of transfers, lots of kids don't make the right decision.

 

[Orangefan1]

Ask Quade if he made the right decision
