Judah Mintz to test NBA Draft waters

[SU94]

Had a friend just say he's staying but I don't see anything anywhere.

Stupid me, but does "staying" mean in the Draft or at SU?

Conjecture, of course.

Why is it that Syracuse always gets the kid who has an extenuating circumstance? 9 out of 10 kids projected at 55+ with a sweet NIL deal would return.

Judah didn’t seem to be around school much after the season - aside from going to class next yr maybe he has a few incompletes he has to finish up as well - maybe part of the equation is just not wanting to deal with school at all. Hoping not and thinking SU has a support system that helps these guys make school more ‘tolerable’

Interesting. No portal.. well. Trilly... doesn't strike.. again

 

[miamicuse]

Will he be doing a thank you orange nation tweet as the announcement?

 

[Sbucketball]

Rothstein is on a tear right now; could be coming soon . . . .

In the bathroom until 11:59?

 

[JarHeadJim]

It doesn't say which School.

Going off what CLMintz said recently sure seems like Judah will not be returning. Really hope he does come back for one more season. If not I hope he's getting solid advice or a guarantee behind the scenes from a team willing to take a flyer and let him continue to develop. It'll all be over soon either way.

Payside will have the info first after 11:59PM at the latest.

Has anybody announced today they are staying in the draft?

He can still enter the portal as a grad transfer.

 

[Orangezoo]

Has anybody announced today they are staying in the draft?

Not yet I don't believe.

 

[PauliePeppas]

Correct

Welp…..time to stop refreshing

 

[Irt4su]

Has anybody announced today they are staying in the draft?

does anyone announce that they are staying in the draft? Not being sarcastic, I am just clueless

 

[Day2]

Who is going to be first to post in this chat the decision? That’s the real winner of this!

He’s staying in the draft.

 

[Orangezoo]

Welp…..time to stop refreshing

Now just refreshing to see who jumps in portal...

I hope my interviewer at 11 is a Cuse hoops fan because it is safe to say I am not locked in

Already got an offer so today just kind of sucks instead of the usual level of bad news suck

Judah will 100% get an undrafted free agent 2 way contract. Staying in the draft upon a guarantee of that from a team just seems like desperation and poor decision making for someone like Judah who is only a freshman, can make decent NIL and has first round potential.

I have a new found respect for fringe NBA players like Bacot and Filipowski who realize that they are above average college players who through NIL can potentially make a small fortune playing in a top college program and continue to get better rather than knock around in the G League at the first opportunity to make the leap to the NBA. NBA Dreamers v. Realists.

Kids just don't have enough respect for what it takes to be the very few to get on an NBA roster. Even if one or two players per team retire each year, there is a backlog of players in the G-League along with the yearly first rounders that makes it slim pickings for roster spots.

how dare you respect Dookies and Heels!

 

[OrlandoCuse]

I’ve pretty much accepted that Judah is staying in the draft. I’ll be shocked if he comes back for another year.

Some cats just don’t like college, it’s ok. Hope Judah kills it!
