Judah Mintz to NBA Draft

[SuFTW]

Why not? It's his decision to announce, not Mike Waters. like this is why majority of this country can't stand the media. It's all about themselves. There's no common decency in their circles.

It’s news though and Waters is a reporter.

Crazy that only Chris Bell remains from JB's "best class ever." If you asked me last season, I would've said he'd be the first to leave.

Shhhhh , not out loud . Lets hope hes staying. We could always use his shooting potential.

Mike is catching strays...

That wasn't a stray. Mike was fully getting blasted.

Who knows why?

 

[chugg21]

Not saying attacking Mike Waters is correct but I feel like Judah not being able to announce it on his own can be a bit frustrating

So was watching him play basketball.

 

[Brooky03]

We really have to stop caring about people being mean to reporters.

Mike did his job. Often, his job requires him to do things that aren’t cool to do to people. Mike knows that. Mike knows backlash comes with the job. Mike knows how to block that out.

Wow Crazy!

Judah and his team got one-upped by Mike Waters. Judah was never coming back and as usual Judah and his team are all about Judah. Su needed to move on. Again, as one poster said, addition by subtraction.

Do you seriously think PGs currently in the portal, being actively recruited by Syracuse, needed a Mike Waters article to confirm it?

If a spot is available, Red's word works just fine

I think there's a ton of BS being spewed out there to keep guys on a leash. We have no idea if Judah was jerking Red around either on staying/going.

I think you are underestimating human nature here. It's better that it's out and he's gone.

Some players want to be paid like a pro and treated like a kid.

 

[ROCuse]

Isn't Judah doing a clinic in Syracuse later this month? Maybe he thinks this will diminish interest.

(I'm not saying he should be blasting Mike Waters.)

 

[BigNastyJon]

I like both Judah as a player and Mike Waters as a reporter.

Good luck to Judah, and I look forward to reading Mikes article on Judahs replacement.

 

[dasher]

I have nothing but love for Judah. I hope he make millions doing what he loves.

You don't know him

 

[Col. Bleep]

Always appreciated Judah and wish him the best.
But even now...he has to complain.
No harm, no foul.
He can still make any announcement he wants.

Mike is just doing his job.
And if Judah doesn't like the media now...let's hope he does not wind up playing in NYC or one of a few other places where local sports media consistently bring it.

To be fair I think you are underestimating conversations behind closed doors.

Either way -- if he's going to be leaving, so be it. No sense in wasting time -- but I don't think a 'dime' needed to be dropped to Mike Waters to let Portal PGs know is all

Judah learned from the best when it comes to leaving gracefully.

 

[two3zone]

Worst draft in 20 years. Now or never.

And still won't get drafted.

 

[two3zone]

Sick of his act. BYE

Judah in this tweet: "Please stop letting @MikeWatersSYR around the program"

Im the furthest thing from a Waters apologist but I'd rather have him than Judah.

What it comes down to is Mike reporting this before Judah had a chance to. If you know anything about kids these days, they love the spotlight and attention. Yes, Mike is doing his job but he took the moment away from Judah. Some might say thats wrong.

May have an entire generation of these hitting the workforce shortly.

When did our season end? It has been pretty much a foregone conclusion that he was leaving. He had plenty of time to announce. I am sure Mike has been sitting on this story for a while.

Well, they would be wrong. MIke wouldn't do that to a high school kid. This kid is basically a professional As is Mike. Mike has a job to do. Inform the public. He is expected to get it first and get it right. In both cases, he did. I am sure he called the Mintz family and gave them an opportunity to tell him they got it wrong. They didn't take that opportunity. What is he suppose to do then? I have the story. No one has said that I am wrong. Wait for some one to beat him to it?
