That might tell us about Benny. Mintz was coming here if Benny was coming back

I thought Benny and Taylor were BFF’s? Does it make Taylor reconsider SU or can Taylor convince Benny to stay?

Taylor has already signed an NLI.

 

[NC_Orange]

Taylor has already signed an NLI.

So Did Skyy Clark. Dosent mean it’s 100% binding

I don’t think SU would have Benny showing Mintz around on his visit if they thought he might leave.

I still think his injury is a whole lot worse than what we are being told. I would not be surprised at all if its really a torn meniscus and he needed surgery. SU does share much when it comes to injuries and seems to understate the severity of said injuries always.

Well he may have been speaking out of turn but just before the FSU game Matt Park said Benny had surgery.

like I said…

 

[dasher]

I have been told tonight by someone who really wouldn't lie, that his absence is injury related.

Meniscus is a rather mild injury. He should be walking in a few days after surgery.

 

[UpstateSM]

I just want to be good again. So bad.

 

[ROCuse]

I just want to be good again. So bad.

This too shall pass.

Tell that to Sid.

 

[Cusefan69]

Tell that to Sid.

Sid has the knees of an 80 year old, completely different situation.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

For our super insiders, how should we interpret this thread:
A. If Benny stays, Mintz is Orange
B. If Mintz doesn’t pick SU, Benny is definitely gone.
C. Mintz and Benny are independent
D. Things with Mintz have gone sideways and nobody knows.

I’ll hang up and listen

I can’t believe someone actually gave this a thumbs up.

 

[FrancoPizza]

I don’t think SU would have Benny showing Mintz around on his visit if they thought he might leave.

Well it wouldn’t be the first time the coaching staff didn’t have their pulse on the situation, right? I’d pay Hop $5M just to be the emotional support coordinator for these kids. That podcast with DC and Etan was so depressing.

I just want to be excited about the program again.

 

[FrancoPizza]

This too shall pass.

We’ve been in the wilderness for 8 going on 9 years. How much longer oh Lord?

 

[SUFan44]

Coaches thought this was a done deal.

It is not a done deal. And kid is likely to go elsewhere.

Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

At what point do we start looking in the mirror with these guys?

Our best staffs and best teams had assistant coaches with no ties to SU.

Troy Weaver, Rob Murphy… since Murphy left (2011), the talent level within our program has diminished greatly. And fell off a cliff after Hopkins left, who has SU ties of course but was seasoned and earned his way into his role.

Coincidence?

I believe that's ADJW's job to hold the staff accountable. It is one thing to lose out on a player to a blue blood. But Depaul!

Coincidence?

So Mintz turns down 5 different ACC teams, 3 SEC teams, and 2 Big Ten teams to play for a Big East bottom feeder.

You're gonna need a lot more mirrors.

It’s almost like top recruits turn down other programs all the time.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

It’s almost like top recruits turn down other programs all the time.

He had an offer from LSU, yet Will Wade and a Brinks truck filled with cash couldn't close the deal.

Sometimes teenage recruits want what they want.

Until they transfer a year later.

So many things can happen every year that cause players to change their minds late: a bag of money, a ridiculous promise, a girlfriend attending a close by school etc. if we go by pure “what’s the best school” it’s probably syracuse, but that doesn’t mean they will immediately win no matter how hard the coaches tried. Also, let’s not forget that he hasn’t announced, there’s still time for whatever promise that is putting DePaul (maybe) in front to be matched my a multitude of other schools including syracuse.

In this new era of recruiting it might not even matter, they might hit the portal and find a find a guy who will perform better the JM ever will, you just don’t know.
