LSU makes final 2 for Syracuse transfer Joe Girard
A former Syracuse basketball player has LSU in his top two.
Joe Girard has narrowed it down to Clemson and LSU. Girard started 132 games in his four-year career with the Orange. He’d bring just the type of backcourt experience LSU needs.
He’s averaged 2.4 threes per game in that time and last year, he had a career-high in points with 16.4 per night. Girard averaged over double-digits per game in three of his four years.
A three-star in 2019, Girard was heralded for his shooting ability. With Adam Miller gone, Girard would instantly become LSU’s top shooter. The Tigers struggled on the offensive side last year due to highly inconsistent backcourt play.
Coach Matt McMahon has been aggressive in the transfer portal yet again. A lot of the transfers LSU took last year didn’t work out and have already entered the portal again.

Now in year two, McMahon might have more ability to recruit the guys he wants whereas last year, LSU just needed to fill a roster.
