Class of 2022 PG Judah Mintz (DC / Oak Hill) COMMITTED/SIGNED TO SYRACUSE

[jmcclure33]

If all this goes on and then he still chooses DePaul now, I’m calling in sick tomorrow. I think I’d deserve a 3 day weekend after this emotional roller coaster.

Hmm

We deserve this lol

Clearly SU wants another impactful guard. I assume if they don't get Mintz, they get someone that might be more ready to contribute in the portal. Who knows, they may be talking with someone now and holding off until his decision is made.

 

[AZOrange]

Hmm

We’ve been burned so many times before…we have to be due, right?

 

[AZOrange]

We deserve this lol

Our 20 year contract with the devil is up this year FYI…

You feeling confident AZ?

So if we pull this out, how long until the NCAA investigators are inquiring about recruiting shenanigans?

They’re always looking, I doubt it would take a recruiting win to get (another) knock on the orange door

Hopefully there is some great Orange representation and a few more meth balls dropping in our favor.

METH balls? Oh great, another scandal for us, lol

Seriously, going to be on pins/needles today. And very happy it is today and not April 1. I don't know if we could emotionally handle the combo of news and April fools

I said it yesterday. If the kid chooses hes cuse. His surroundings have said DePaul but not once has he given an inclination. He’s been cuse since his visit.

Do we want to know now or build up to the decision is the bigger question? Lol

 

[Melancer46]

We deserve this lol

I'll remember this post when he chooses DePaul lol

DePaul should be investigated they haven't made a tourney in 18 years.

Bulldog04 said it the best and I don’t have to repeat it. We are due. But the kid committed to Pitt too so…

I was always under the impression that was more like a 100 yr thing...

I think this is maybe why sometimes the staff “gets it wrong” or “overvalued our chances”.

If we are mostly in contact with the kid and knows how much he likes us, we probably feel good because it’s coming straight from him. But at the end of the parent is the one deciding, maybe it makes sense why it happens to the staff

 

[Orangezoo]

To get ahead of the curve

Just like college days. It only takes one pretty Co-Ed smiling at you and everything is all better and you are all in.

 

[Ragman2000]

Is it 4pm yet?

 

[tee1222]

It's going to be a heck of a day!

 

[Sherman20]

Hope I’m wrong, but I’m not expecting good news tomorrow.

I’d rather have mom than dad, and I’d rather have the handlers instead of the kid. We’re on the wrong side of both here it seems.

The list of kids we’ve felt good about the night before….and lost, is long.

These just aren’t the types of battles we win. We get kids early and hold on, we don’t swoop in late and prevail.

There’s a reason for that if you think about it…and it’s not bad.

So what actually happens in some of these recruitments that give the handlers so much power? (Not saying this is Judah’s situation.) Do they invest monetarily in a kid and pay for his workouts, travel, housing on the road, basketball skill development, etc? And then the family feels obligated to return the favor by going to the school of their choosing? And the handler is being paid by an assistant coach like Bino Ranson to do his bidding? Do I have this right?

Then the coaches are getting cozy with the wrong people. It’s business, not personal.

Since last night his parents have liked several DePaul tweets. None of Syracuse. May not be a good sign.

I’d feel better if at least one of the other meth-heads flipped today.

 

[Orangefan1]

Depaul...sheesh.
