Judah Mintz to test NBA Draft waters

[Irt4su]

Tyus Battle went down to the wire too with his decision. Truthfully, I was more worried about Tyus than Judah. On paper anyway, it seems we have the depth to overcome Judah leaving, not so much with Tyus. We didnt have much behind Tyus.

thank god he stayed, we would have stunk with out him...stunk worse, I meant stunk worse

 

[CuseBlock]

will we be preseason top 25 if he returns?

According to Rothstein we aren’t even top 45. I’d like to crack that first.

Even with the influx of talent, it would be hard for a well informed voter to select Syracuse with it's new, unproven coach at the helm to the top 25. The fact that there are few informed voters, it really is a crap shoot.

That team was so underwhelming outside of that unbelievable OT win in Cameron. Thought that was going to spring board us to a top 4 seed and a more typical Cuse season. Could’ve really used Bazley on that team…

That team had Hughes and Brissett. Hughes was a better overall player than Tyus. There’s an argument to be made Tyus held Hughes back.

If basketball doesn’t work out, at least Hawkins has his saxophone to fall back on.

Great, great question that I've pondered for a while now. On paper, with Mintz back, there's a lot to like, although obviously the center spot is a question mark. But from a guard/wing/forward perspective, lots of promise there. Even if Judah did come back, though, I don't see SU in preseason top-25 rankings, but I'd love to be wrong.

Oh boy.

Believe it or not, 2018-2019, Tyus's last season, was the only year since 2013-2014 that we we solidly in the NCAAT. We were an 8 seed and never on the bubble. We lost to Baylor in Salt Lake in the Frank Howard suspension game. 2013-2014 and 2018-2019 are the only years in the last 10 that we were solidly in. Every other year we were bubble or out.

Lol... right at the deadline for Edey

Jesse bolting for the hillbillies of West Virginia is still infuriating. With Judah and Jesse and the other additions, that’s a solid top 25 team, probably higher.

Groundbreaking tweet by that guy. You’re telling me Edey is expected to make a decision by the deadline? Whaaaaat?

 

[DaCuse]

per my sources - Judah is expected to announce in the next few hours

Oh, with Jesse still at SU, absolutely...

Many posters here do not think Jesse would be an asset with our new, aggressive man defense. He leaves a huge void in low post scoring and he did have the best three point percentage on the team.

Bye bye Jesse

 

[hoopsupstate]

Jesse who?

 

[Trueblue25]

Jesse who?

Exactly.

 

[OrangeDW]

will we be preseason top 25 if he returns?

No, because people who don’t follow close will just see the PPG we lost in Edwards and Girard and think we got worse.

But we’ll be way more talented than last year, if Judah comes back IMO.

Why would the schools negotiate against themselves at this point?

Here's your NIL offer.

I want more.

Fine, go undrafted. We'll survive.

 

[OrangeDW]

Jesse who?

Spano.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

well done, low key but strong.

That's part of the genius of Marroniac . Comes out of nowhere with subtle humor.

Sometimes not so subtle.

Hit rate is high either way.

 

[TheHaze315]

I’m actually convinced we won’t find out until 11:50.
