I hope this isn't a coded post related to Judah leaving and Chance Westry taking over as the starting PG?
I think we should camp out together at one of our houses and await the decision. This way we can take turn refreshing this post or waiting for someone in the know to text me or you...
Thank you so much. We are a passionate fan group, but no matter what Judah decides, he is Orange for life and part of our family. And I say this having spent 20 years serving as alumni club president in 2 markets and as a past Director on the SU National Alumni Board. We will always want the best for him and will root for him wherever he lands.
Is this poster a member of the Mintz family?
I mean, as Judah is a college student, and as college students notoriously turn things in at the last possible minute, I can confidently say with no personal knowledge of the situation that nothing will be announced until right before the deadline.
H said that was his feeling.
Also, tomorrow at 11:59 pm is the deadline for his notice paperwork. Not the deadline to tweet about it. It's possible we don't know until a day or so later, especially if he stays in. It's a cruel world we live in.
Could happen.
Judah can’t go wrong either way. If he ends up as a late 2nd rounder or UDFA he will get the opportunity to prove himself in the G league or a 2 way deal like Buddy and Cole. If he sticks, he will work on his degree and have a very good chance to lead the ACC in scoring, in a more friendly system for him. Good to hear he has a good camp, father thats a lawyer, etc. I’m sure Autry and the SU coaches are supporting as well.
Doubtful he even knows this thread exists.
I know we're being sensitive to the reality that folks that know Judah are commenting here, but I don't think that's a good situation for Judah at all.
But does Judah believe he - as #36 on the ESPN Top 100 - is similar to Buddy and Cole?
I can't fathom how going in the second round or worse being an UDFA with few or no guarantees is a good scenario for Judah. The G League is glorified AAU and not great for development. Easy to get lost there.
You think he could move this along? I have to get back to work at some point...
That’s what journalists are for.
Judah is not listed on many of the mock drafts, right or wrong. We will see tons of trades and movement on draft night. Look at the lists, lots of talented guys including the flyers teams take of guys not even listed. The only guys who are guaranteed anything are 1st rounders. If he does not think he is a 1st rounder next year he should stay in draft and work his way up in G League. If he will be a 1st rounder next year come back and get a guarantee. Both Buddy and Cole are elite shooters/ specialist which the NBA loves, can’t compare them to Judah
There is a good chance that he will make more $$ coming back to Syracuse than what he will get staying in the draft this year. This is where NIL really helps kids. But it does make their decision more difficult. Without NIL, there would be no decision to make.
