Impressive
Or held accountableI don't think anyone hated him. Some people thought he wasn't utilized correctly.
It was a SU fan, maybe even the docRead the subject title it certainly implies that, why write it then. No one even questioned the subject. I was just replying to it. Some people might be backtracking a bit but the negativity was certainly apparent. Sad that he had to go elsewhere to feel the appreciation.
Still don’t understand the concept of allowing 5 years of stats to count for a high school career.Impressive
Shot a significantly higher percentage than GMac or Buddy and just edged out Rautins for his career.Joe finished with more career 3 pointers made than Gmac but it took him one more season to accomplish that. 402 to 400.
Joe has half court range and a quick trigger.Shot a significantly higher percentage than GMac or Buddy and just edged out Rautins for his career.
I get it, you don’t like Joe G and never have. If his stats were over a ten year period they would still be impressive.Still don’t understand the concept of allowing 5 years of stats to count for a high school career.
Not true. Just going from my own perspective. And I was only talking about high school. Vermont doesn’t allow a player to even compete in more than 4 years of varsity spoerts. You can start as an 8th grader, but you’re done after junior year. Lots of kids end up at high schools not associated with their middle school. Why do those players get discriminated against in the record books despite being potentially better players? That might not apply to Joe, but it’s certainly not a level playing field.I get it, you don’t like Joe G and never have. If his stats were over a ten year period they would still be impressive.
His job here was to shoot and shoot at volume. At Clemson, his job was different.I wish Joe had been used properly by JB. I also wish Joe had been in as good condition as he was at Clemson, and was more willing to take only good, open shots here like he did at Clemson.
1. It’s not discrimination. 2. Joe didn’t play in Vermont.Not true. Just going from my own perspective. And I was only talking about high school.

It’s not a high school career; it’s a varsity career. No one gets JV stats as part of their legacy.Still don’t understand the concept of allowing 5 years of stats to count for a high school career.
2 Sweet 16s and 1 Elite 8?Impressive
You’re obtuse AF.1. It’s not discrimination. 2. Joe didn’t play in Vermont.
3. Pete Maravich only played 3 years of varsity basketball and had no 3 point shot. If anyone has a grip about changing landscapes impacting history, it’s him.
and unfortunately there will be a lot of covid /transfer asterisks in the record books. career is now meaningless.Still don’t understand the concept of allowing 5 years of stats to count for a high school career.
Joes high school stats, which have him as the leading scorer in ny, include his 8th grade year on varsity.It’s not a high school career; it’s a varsity career. No one gets JV stats as part of their legacy.
And this post isn’t actually about Joe at all. It’s about the oddity of a record that allows certain high school players (not college) to be recognized for scoring that occurred when other players of equivalent talent and ability did not have the same opportunity.Joes high school stats, which have him as the leading scorer in ny, include his 8th grade year on varsity.
Girard began playing varsity basketball, coached by his uncle Rob Girard, for the Indians while still in eighth grade, averaging 21.7 points per game.[3][4] As a freshman, he averaged 33.9 points per game and made 122 three-pointers and began to be recruited by colleges.[2] As a sophomore, Girard averaged 36.4 points per game and finished the season with 2,157 career points in leading the team to a 24–1 record.[5] As a junior, Girard averaged 50.0 points per game and passed Lance Stephenson's state record of 2,946 career points scored.[6] He was named the New York Gatorade Player of the Year, the All-USA New York Player of the Year, and the Albany Times Union Male Athlete of the Year.
As a senior, Girard averaged 48.6 points per game and led Glens Falls to its first New York Federation title, scoring 53 points in the championship game and finishing his high school career with 4,763 points.[7][8] Girard was again named the New York Gatorade Player of the Year as well as the NYSSWA Class B Player of the Year and Mr. New York Basketball and was named Class B first team All-State for a fourth consecutive season and was named the MaxPreps Athlete of the Year for his combined success in basketball and football.[9] Rated a three star prospect, Girard committed to play college basketball at Syracuse over offers from Boston College, Duke, Michigan, Notre Dame and Penn State.[10]
How could anyone hate him? Crazy talk. Great kid, always represented SU well, proved his value here and now elsewhere. Glad he’s been appreciated without any “buts” in his last year.
You can play in 7th grade in NY for up to 6 years. I know of a woman at my HS that did this growing up.Not true. Just going from my own perspective. And I was only talking about high school.

Is the guy counting this season?Yes, why do you ask?
Objectively the greatest 3-point shooter to ever don the Syracuse jersey.
