The small town hero is making his decision Sunday. Do we like our chances? He is from Northern NY, like me, where it's very rare to get a scholly from a power conference school let alone Duke! Same HS as Jimmer Freddette. Could be a great leader and deadeye shooter in his last 2 years on campus.

Duke stopped recruiting him several months ago. I’m guessing Syracuse.

From my understanding, the Duke staff was still keeping in touch with Girard. They just weren't pursuing him heavily like they were in the spring. So yes, a Syracuse verbal seems very, very likely.

Did we ever offer and if we did does the staff still want him?My understanding is that we backed off of him after a less than stellar AAU season

He’ll go to cuse and be amazing. We’ve lost a good one of he would have stuck it out here. He’ll light us up a few times

The interest certainly cooled off. He has a scholarship offer, but obviously a recruit isn't going to seriously consider us if the staff isn't giving him the same amount of attention as he was previously receiving.

So like Bagley did on D?
Bagley was still a HUGE plus when factoring in +/- and offense versus defense....as an 18 year old.
Plus there is this thing called rebounding, and he was only the best freshman ever at that. Not bad.

So I’m lost here. I’m not sure if I’m more confused with the comparison of Girard to Bagley (which is hilarious in itself) or a Duke fan consistently ripping on one of our own???

No you were a douche with your answer so I was back.

Ah I see. I didn’t know that saying a guy is terrible at defense (and that is basically why K stopped recruiting him) is being a douche.

Makes sense if he goes to Cuse...can hide him at the top of the zone for 2 years.

Can you honestly say Bagley gave the same effort on defense as offense?

That's my issue. So before you say I'm anti one and done, I think Carter, Ingram and Winslow did.

Yep. Just think he was always able to get away with being an athletic freak in HS, so he struggled with angles, good defensive position, and understanding certain schemes.

But he played his butt off, or K wouldn’t have played him as much as he did.

Why was the post deleted that said you wish all the NBA fans would go away because we’re not real Duke fans???????

It was too harsh. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt even tho I don’t believe you would like us if it wasn’t for the top nba prospects we get

I don’t post on the free board much but this thread is on Girard. He isn’t coming here end of story. The coaches didn’t like what they saw and moved on.

I’m going to lock this thing up. As Pava said, Girard isn’t coming to Duke, we cooled on him a long time ago, after checking hiM on the circuit. Maybe he will light us up down the road, but he’s never going to be a top prospect for duke where he would get enough shots to put up the same numbers he might elsewhere and I’m fine with us passing on him from what I’ve heard. No need to get into pissing match about something so inane.
