Joe Girard transferring to Clemson

[Orangello]

If he goes to Schpitt just face guard him.

I can't believe I'm wasting bandwidth having a real life discussion with a burner account persona masquerading as an SU fan.

I mean, I hear you, but he’s got a point…

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

What if his best NIL offer by a long shot is within ACC? If you were 21 ish and were offered hundreds of thousands…. Would staying in conference matter? It wouldn’t to me

Thats fair.

But I want a second team to root for. If hes at BYU that's great look forward to watching their games. Clemson I hope it doesn't go well.

SU basketball was sort of built around him for 4 years we're all kind of invested in the player to a certain extent.

I really don't care where he goes, sans for in conference... Particularly if his talents leveraged more effectively than they were here... Don't want to be snakebitten with that.

Barring that, I hope he has success wherever he goes.

Why are we worried where he goes? Most of what read here over his career says he’s a marginal ACC guard and only deserves 10-15 mpg wherever he goes.

To that I say….don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.

I’m not worried about where he goes.

If Joe goes to Pitt maybe it’ll rejuvenate the rivalry.

Over the last four years SU is 41-41 in ACC play (including ACCT action) with several bad OOC losses and minimal NCAAT success. We're sweating his departure why?

Sweating it? Nah. But when we lose the only guy who can consistently hit from deep it’s a loss. Just because we sucked with him and will likely suck without him doesn’t mean we won’t miss him.

I would cool it with the we will suck without him bit. We don't know what our team will look like yet. I wish the kid nothing but the best. I also like our chances with JJ and Judah (if he comes back) a lot.

do you care where he goes? And will you be rooting him on?

for me...I don’t care but I wish him the best.

Clemsons gonna be a tough matchup for us next year and direct competitor for the 5th or 6th and final ACC bid. 0-2 against them might send us to the NIT especially if we don't pull off any giant killings in November in Hawaii.

 

[kcsu]

I hope we run them off the court

 

[sutomcat]

Classy message from a classy young man, who knows some did not love seeing him in Orange.

I hope ha has a great season at Clemson, except for 2 games….

 

[Col. Bleep]

One thing about Joe...he sure loves the color orange.

I'll miss him.

 

[capeorange]

Thanks for 4 memorable years! Watching the kids that stick around for 3 or 4 years and grow is a lot of fun especially in this era.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

I hope we win, but he goes for 30+ every time.

 

[Chip]

gbo the door is always open, come lay on the couch, tell us your problems, punch a pillow.

 

[jncuse]

Not sure if I have ever seen as mixed a reaction to a post. All over the place on this one.
Just learned now that Girard went to Clemson.

 

[Stevenson]

Who?

 

[orangefog]

Joe was in a tough position. I think he stepped up to the challenges in front of him, but he should have never been a four year starter. He never would have been in years past, and he may have never been a starter based upon talent in years past. But, JB changed and Joe did everything he could to live up to expectations of a Syracuse starter. It isn't on him. We'll see what he can be for Clemson.

 

[donniesyracuse]

i.e., you did not love me enough

 

[OrangeTarheel]

The kids got a chip on his tiny shoulder.

First time I can recall one of our players being even mildly antagonistic to fans on their way out.
