Sounds like Siena should get involved.

What’s this kid’s name??

What’s this kid’s name??

Tyler Bertram. There’s a thread on him here.

 

[albanycuse]

Girard’s only 6foot 1 now I know JB’s reasoning i think.

 

[Fly Rodder]

Imagine all the possibilities of what a 13 man roster could offer.

A rotation of 7-8 players and a game rotation of 6.5.

Looking back at some pre-sanctions rosters, the 9th or 10th guy (not even getting to 13) on the roster wasn't very good and didn't usually stick around long (exceptions can be made though).

They just recently offered him. Here is thread Page 4 on recent info. The Utica paper link has info on him plus here's a tweet from other day -

I’ve seen all 3 play last summer, Buddy and Girard on the Nike circuit and to a lesser degree Bertram on the Adidas circuit. All three are knock down shooters with their feet set and play a similar style. Bertram is the best ball handler of the three and can pull the ball on the floor and make things happen in a pick and roll situation but struggles getting his own shot. Girard can handle the ball but can be pressured by quicker guards. Buddy did not handle the ball much as City Rocks had 2 very good ball handlers at PG. Buddy is the tallest 6’5 of the three and Girard is nowhere near the 6’2 I’ve seen him listed as, at least not last summer. Girard has a solid build and is not afraid to mix it up, Bertram is thin, probably 6’3 and 150 or 60 pounds. I am sure prep school will help with that. Bertram would be the best defender on the top of the zone, has the height and lateral quickness. I think Buddy and Girard might struggle in the zone but playing at SU would be to their advantage because I just don’t see them as strong enough man to man defenders at the P5 level. That being said, they all have another year or so to improve.

Thanks for the first hand observations. Appreciate your perspective, having seen them.

Unfortunately I gave up imagining such possibilities long ago.

People forget that these white boy shooters have to have a tight sideline game. Girard hasn't been able to display his because he plays so much. We don't even know if he has the bow and arrow move. My guess is that at his visit, they watched him closely in the stands to see if he put any moves on. The fact that he got no offer tells me that he sat on his hands.

 

[Deano]

Okay so now we are filled in on Tyler Bertram, we can get back to the topic at hand Joe Girard .

 

[cliftonparksufan]

there are four different Girards in the Glens Falls box score... together they outscored Hudson Falls 79-65.

And the coach is Girard also.

 

[AZOrange]

Yeah, the competition isn't great but how come nobody else has put these numbers up then? Is it just assumed all D1 players would average 50 per game if they swapped places?

Lol. No.

This point is being so overlooked.

Game vs Amsterdam is sold out five days in advance. Should break state record that night.

[cliftonparksufan]

54 points tonight including 9 threes in a 20 point win.
ROUNDUP: Girard scores 54 in Glens Falls win; Queensbury beats Gloversville

 

[tee1222]

Every time I open this thread, I fully expect to see an 80 point game posted. Not kidding.

 

[JazzNC]

I really think if we don't offer this kid we're going to regret it.

 

[RF2044]

I could see him going elsewhere and being a productive four year player at a P5 school. And we've apparently turned up our nose.

 

[PauliePeppas]

Michigan offered after seeing em last night...

 

[Cusesky8214]

Yep gunna regret this one..even if we do offer now the kid will feel like we gave him the cold shoulder for too long and will go elsewhere. Don't get this one when he's in our backyard.

Plain and simple... it's dumb! Girard at Michigan will be the next Spike Albrecht for them. He could be the next Gmac here. Head scratcher to me.

He's going to be better than Spike Albrecht. But there is an ocean of difference between Albrecht and Gerry.

 

[albanycuse]

Not a good zone fit. His height is gotta be why JB didn’t offer.
