Joe Girard III

[Northbound]

The kid is a junior and is already in the top 8 of all-time New York State scorers.

He’s a guard that can shoot the lights out of it, actually from Jimmer Fredette’s high school and has crushed all his old records.

I’ve seen him play a number of times and his stroke is effortless and range for days. Had 11 3’s in a game the other night and total 50 points - he’s got to be in the 40-45 ppg this year. The kids stroke is effortless.

With the obvious need for shooters does anyone know if we’ve even reached out? I know he’s been to BC, PSU and. few others.

All while managing the Yankees too.

 

[UCweCONN]

No, but we should offer him our managerial position. He got a raw deal from Brian Cashman.

Uggh. Beat me to it!

Well if the Yankee manager was named Girard and not Girardi then you’d have a point.

Brilliant humor, brilliant.

Per 247 someone from the staff has visited him but no offer yet.

Lighten up Francis.

I was assuming given the general academic ability of this board it was a typo

Girard (a/k/a "JG3") is currently believed to be a Boston College lean but still is open hoping for additional offers from Nova, Syracuse and UConn.

He has a large extended family so the fact that UConn is within a 3 hour drive is a plus if UConn offers.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Why would anyone want to come to UConn to play basketball at this point?

 

[Northbound]

Lighten up Francis.

Do you break out the pull my finger trick at parties?

I’d like someone with some actual insight (paging tcf or 99) to comment instead of having to wade through your comment that offer no actual insights.

It’s not that difficult man - sit it out if you have nothing to add when it’s an actually question.

Oh my god, someone made a pun!!!!!

I see the whole damm thing as humor. Geeeeezzzzz.

Because we will be much improved in 2018. Happy New Year!

Kids a pure shooter. If he has any inclination about coming here offer him yesterday. I don’t care if he doesn’t fit the 6’8 170 lb mold KO loves.

omg shut up lol

 

[MuchoDogYears]

Yeah but can he hit threes when guarded? He’s not going to get an open look in KOs offense.

Before getting an offer he’s got to first prove he can do hero ball from three.

 

[UConnStats]

This kid will be a star in college. Insane shooter.

 

[SaeHusky]

Kid is getting football offers as well. Apparently he's a very good QB. Would love a kid like this on the team. But if he watched our half court offense I don't think he would see us as a fit

Eh. KO's offense can get open looks. Making shots has been a problem.

 

[intlzncster]

Can all this kid do is shoot 3's? Sign him up.

He's got NBA range. Stick him near half court and open up the floor for everyone else.

 

[Austin316]

Pure shooter... we could use someone like this...

 

[Austin316]

The next Jimmer Fredette?
