JG3 —> Europe, 5th year, or Coaching?

[Cstate]

Sorry to start a new JG3 thread, but his last thread somehow turned into a “he can’t run fast or jump high thread!”

Serious question as I do not follow or have the knowledge of Pro basketball outside of the United States. Does Joe have the ability to play pro ball in Europe after this season? Would everyone be upset if he stays here and plays his “Covid year?” Or does he leave after this year and retire/start grad-student coaching somewhere?

 

[Cheriehoop]

Whatever he decides for next year, he’s got a good head start coaching and working with kids in the Glens Falls area having started and working basketball camps. He’ll do well long term regardless of his more immediate decision next year.

He will be training...extremely hard...so as not to be exposed...

for the FineMess-funded 1 v 1 vs Tony DeFranco

Anthony Davis vs Tony deFranco

Apparently, not Tony's first rodeo...

Just for some clarity, “pro ball in Europe” encapsulates a lot of different levels of competition.

I’d say this, JB said, and I’m paraphrasing, that the guys playing for Cuse can play pro *somewhere* as a general statement.

No idea what Joe is doing next year, though.

 

[Eric15]

I hope he comes back for the purposes of my fanhood, but practically speaking, I always think guys should go earn a living.

He absolutely can play pro *somewhere*, play another year of college ball or get on a coaching roster *somewhere*. Without a doubt.

I’m super hard on him, but he has plenty of options after this year. Let’s have him and this crew get us back in the tourney, then he can choose whatever he wants. All the luck to him.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I think he'll follow Jimmer and play in China.

 

[Nicknack]

Not sure what coming back another year would do for him, unless he just loves college and accumulating stats. Seems like playing in Europe or pursuing a coaching career would be his best options. Now, if we had a team coming back that could realistically compete for a championship, that would also be understandable, but...

 

[EnviroSciGuy]

If I were Joe, I'd take my degree and grad-transfer to an elite academic school like Stanford, or at the very least somewhere different and exciting. Life is all about experiences and you're only young once!

 

[Cuse181]

I think he’ll get into coaching, i could see him ending up as grad assistant on an America East team and learning the ropes, I could also see him playing on BA

Agreed. He’s a bright kid and he has a lot options to weigh. Though I definitely see him going overseas and making some easy money.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

QB for Duke football.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

[kcsu]

I think Joe will stay for a final year to be with the team for Jims last year

Id be happy to have a 5th year Sr. shooting guard as long as his role is well defined before they decide.

That's this year.

Next head coach of Syracuse.

[miamicuse]

Curious, for those players returning for a fifth covid year, if they break their respective schools records are those records annotated with an asterisk?

Should be.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

This is college hoops. You shouldn’t want to spend 10 years on the same team

 

[kcsu]

Joe and Jesse both back.

 

[OrangeAl]

Joe and Jesse both back.

Thanks for your definitive answer. I won't even ask for your source, for fear of being disappointed.

 

[Bball44]

Joe and Jesse both back.

If Judah back too, then maybe JB will end career on a high note after all.
