Joseph Girard III is staying in the Empire State, and ‘Cuse fanatics are going bananas about it.
Girard, an absolute scoring machine and one of the top 3-point specialists in the 2019 class, revealed on Sunday night at a press conference that he will don a SU hoops uniform in roughly 12 months.
In doing so, Girard selected Syracuse over Boston College, Duke (yes!), Michigan, Notre Dame and Penn State.
I can’t stress enough how monumental this recruiting development is for our beloved Orange. While college basketball is obviously a team sport, I believe that landing Girard is a defining moment.
