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 [autotag]Adam Miller[/autotag] 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 [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] 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.
NEWS: Syracuse transfer Joe Girard tells me he’s down to two schools: Clemson and LSU.
Averaged 16.4 PPG this season, shooting 38% from three.

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.
