Not surprising at all. Joe Girard is going to go where he can START right

away, and both ACC schools fit the bill, especially ND after losing JJ Starling to Syracuse. In fact, don't be surprised if one of the fall ACC storylines is how ND and Syracuse may have traded starting guards should that be the school he chooses. JG is going to be going some place where he can have an immediate impact as a starter, and ND certainly fits the bill there given their many losses at that position (Cormac Ryan also in the portal). I highly doubt JG is taking advice from Jimmy B on his next destination given he's going to do what is best for him and his future. One of those items being best is likely removing his name from the NBA draft (*currently* a possibility in having put his name in) and playing another year in the NCAA. VT doesn't make sense for who we have returning, much more than any perception JG has about VT/Blacksburg from a former coach of a team he is explicitly leaving, no matter how much "shade" was or wasn't thrown.

He’s also visiting with BYU. I’m sure JB warned him not to go to the burg
