Joe Girard, the 6-foot-1 combo guard from Glens Falls (NY) Senior High School, enjoyed his recent official visit to Boston College.
It was his second official, following one to Syracuse in June.
“It was great,” he said. “I had a good time learning more about their program. They’ve told me I’m their guy and I could be a big piece for them.”
Girard has a top six of Notre Dame, Penn State, Boston College, Michigan, Duke, and Syracuse, and said he’s “not sure” if he will take other visits.
Girard picked up offers from both Duke and Syracuse back in February.
According to 247Sports, Girard is ranked as the No. 145 overall player in the Class of 2019 and the No. 5 player from the state of New York.
A two-sport star, Girard surpassed Lance Stephenson to become New York State’s all-time leading scorer last season. He averaged about 50 points a game as a junior.
Playing with City Rocks on the Nike EYBL Circuit, Girard has averaged 12.2 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game, through 16 games.
On Saturday, he will compete in the Slam Summer Classic at Dyckman Park alongside Cole Anthony, Isaiah Stewart, James Wiseman and others.
