Syracuse men’s basketball: Joe Girard’s complicated tenure with the Orange

How would you describe Joe Girard’s career with the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team?

Underwhelming or underappreciated? It’s not an easy answer by any means.

For better or worse, it appears that Girard is moving on. He announced on Friday that he would be declaring for the 2023 NBA Draft while adding his name to this year’s transfer portal. Girard said he was keeping an option open to return to Syracuse, but he’s moving on to meetings with three schools so it seems as though his time with the Orange has ended.
