Joe Girard Motivated by Social Media Yakking

[Col. Bleep]

He's got the right attitude.
And it's easy for everyone else to forget the long term impact Covid can have.

Good stuff. I'm sure Joe has thicker skin than many people. Rooting for the squad hard.

 

[GooseMutt]

You don’t achieve the things Joe has done without some serious heart and talent

I will never under estimate this young man!

 

[Orangezoo]

Good stuff. Hopefully Joe makes everyone a plate of crow to scarf down this upcoming season.

 

[orangeinnyc]

This is great. Seems like the team is hungry to build off of last seasons ending. If joe can provide the steady pg play this team needs than I think we are going to be in for a hell of a season.

 

[HoustonCuse]

See, everybody here that spent the whole season ripping this guy to shreds, calling him fat, saying he was only getting minutes because he’s a friend of Buddy’s, etc was actually helping! Keep it up everyone!

I’m sure there will be enough to go around...

I Still remember him getting into it with that ND player his freshman year. The kid does not back down.

 

[OrangeTarheel]

Another great example setter on this team - we’ve got a few good leaders on this squad.

 

[CuseTroop]

I don’t see what he’s getting all worked up about, we only called him fat here like, two, maybe three times

But bulimia is not the way to solve his problems.

Wait, is that not the yakking we talkin' about?

This made me simultaneously laugh and feel bad about laughing.

Joe's putting in the work. I'm sure last year was his worst. He will benefit more than most from the fans. Hope he has a solid year as we need him to step up in order to go far.

Joe has a chance to become a leader of this team. He is going to have to realize his role and not focus on scoring which is hard to do when you averaged 50 a game in HS. The key for him is working on a handle that allows him to go North South when pressured vs East West. A good point G cant revert to sheilding the ball by backing in. ( pretty hard run the O with your back to the basket). His handle against pressure is the key.

Elk the best of big game. Montana.

Never tried it, but if I ever get the chance I absolutely will.

My criticism and alot of others was never directed personally at Joe, it was directed at JB for how he distributed minutes last year. It appeared Joe added some bad weight in the offseason.
Dont want to rehash another Kadary thread, but if Joe was that tired, shouldnt JB adjusted the minutes to KR? But JB would say KR isnt in good enough condition to play extended minutes? That excuse just never made sense and Joe's comments sound like he shouldnt have played extended mins. Joe probably would have benefited being the 3rd guard off the bench that could play either spot subbing in for KR or Buddy. In the past now and hoping he bounces back from a bit of sophomore slump. I thought he started playing better in the tournament.

 

[GooseMutt]

Boeheim is playing Joe beyond reasons we see or understand

im gonna trust a coach that has seen a lot of talent first hand
There’s
something there with joe
I’m gonna continue to trust Boeheim s instincts

Joe's limited by his size and lack of athleticism. He needs to manage the O, Make open looks not force shots protect the ball and on D not allow dribble penetration on his side. If he can do that his occasionally hot shooting streaks become a bonus. I expect a solid season out of him.
