    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    The legend of Joe Girard continues to grow.

    Syracuse became the latest school to offer the 6-foot-1 Class of 2019 combo guard from Glens Falls (N.Y.) High school.

    “Coach [Jim] Boeheim called me directly,” Girard said. “They said I can come in and be just like Gerry McNamara.

    “I’ve visited multiple times before and will probably visit again. I feel really great about the offer and to have such a storied program that is in state offer me feels amazing.”

    A two-sport star, Girard earlier this week surpassed Lance Stephenson to become New York State’s all-time leading scorer. He’s averaging 50 points per game and will now shoot for 3,000 career points in his career.

    Oklahoma and Michigan also offered Girard this past week.
