If you can operate your mouse then you can learn to post. It's pretty simple.Good article on Girardi in Glens Falls paper today on playing and excelling at both football and hoops. I'm too inept to post link.
Ha true - have you seen him play football? Is he even FCS level?If you can operate your mouse then you can learn to post. It's pretty simple.
Joseph Girard III weighs risks, rewards of football
The kid is a winner and he has already gotten FCS and FBS coaches contacting him for football so I would guess that if he wanted to go with football he would go the FBS route. I would think he would choose hoops, but you never know.Ha true - have you seen him play football? Is he even FCS level?
We saw the same trade off with Huerter in the SU-Maryland game Monday night. Huerter (a knock-down shooter) impacted the game significantly even though he couldn't stay in front of Howard or Battle. They'd get by him and score inside or dish (2) and then he'd come down the court and bang one in from 28 feet (3). That doesn't necessarily mean that JG should be a recruiting priority, however. He's no where near Huerter's size, or Buddy's for that matter. And at 6'1", he's certainly not an ideal fit for SU as he's small for the zone and might not have the handle/athleticism necessary to play point or defend ACC guards. I just wanted to comment on the defense-shooter trade off, which is worth it if the recruit is tall enough and athletic enough to play in the ACC.That will be the trade off when Buddy is on the floor. Still, taking him is a no brainer (not suggesting you are saying otherwise). Buddy won't play low on 2-3 at SU
JGIII with 46 last night. Can we just offer and sign this kid.

Only 44 points tonight for Girard including nine 3 pointers. He is playing against Class B teams and obviously dominating whatever defenses they are throwing at him.What's the level of competition in his Section?

Game summary
Which always makes me think of when current Siena coach, Jimmy Patsos, coached at Loyola vs Steph Curry in 2008 and held him scoreless on three shots by playing a triangle and two. Curry didn't score but Davidson still won by 30 points. Not sure if teams have played any special defenses on Girard yet, but it hasn't prevented him from scoring 46, 48 and 44 points.
Loyola’s Strategy Fails, but It Holds Davidson’s Curry Scoreless
Until he plays against better teams, I can't take these point totals at face value. If he were Downstate, he'd be legit.
You guys are all missing the point; we need to sign him so that he doesn't go to Vermont.
