Clemson adds Syracuse's Girard, 3 others to hoops team

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) Clemson has added four transfers including high-scoring, ex-Syracuse player Joseph Girard III to its men's basketball roster for next season.

The school announced Tuesday that Girard, former North Carolina State forward Jack Clark, ex-Air Force guard Jake Heidbreder and former UNC Greensboro forward Bas Leyte all signed with the Tigers for next season.

Girard, a 6-foot-1 guard who played four seasons for the Orange, was sixth in overall scoring in the Atlantic Coast Conference at 16.4 points a game. His joining gives Clemson the two top returning scorers in league play in Girard and returning forward PJ Hall.
