Judah Mintz to test NBA Draft waters

[chugg21]

Let’s have some faith in Red. He’s earned the benefit of the doubt to this point. Landed 2 big portal guys, Jesse situation appears to be out of his hands. Let Dickinson announce his commitment and then the rest of the big guys will start committing.

Name checks out.

Just a question

Westry & Starling happened quickly without much notice. Who is to say this doesn’t happen again as it relates to a guard & center.

Judah situation is what it is - just hope he allows us some time to backfill his spot as there are multiple individuals who could come in and be good players immediately for us.

That is what I am hoping for. Just a slight disagreement, JJ talk was out there for a while.

 

[Cusefan0307]

I know we are all starved for information, but I think there will be quite a bit more movement over the next ten days.

I like that Jaden Bradley seems to be waiting. Maybe he picks Cuse if Mintz decides to stay in draft?

That thought crossed my mind too. If not Mintz, Bradley seems to be waiting for someone somewhere to make a decision. That would be a fantastic pivot for Red

Yeah, you're right. But the commitment happened pretty much out of the blue.

The issue is if Judah takes his decision to the deadline, the portal will already be closed by the time he decides so if he’s truly torn, we won’t have time to pivot if we wait for his decision (and Bradley or whatever guard we target would have to just risk the possibility of Judah coming back and instantly making it a much worse situation for them playing time wise).

Guys can commit after May 11th. They don’t have to commit by the portal timeline. At the same time guys who don’t get invited to the combine may throw their hat in the ring later this week.

Judah is at number 50 on The Athletics updated big board from this morning. Vecenie compiles his list off of his opinions but also several other scouts so it should be one of the better gauges as to where Judah currently sits. I would hope if that ends up being the feedback he gets that he would come back if we can come up with reasonable NIL but who knows.

When Starling was trash at ND I figured he’d be here in a NY minute.

Trash? Seriously? He wasn't trash.

All ACC freshman team is not trash. Get a grip. Your post however...

All ACC Freshman team. Not as good as expected, but definitely not trash.

My bad. He was so good at ND I was licking my lips waiting for him to come here. What a successful year he had there.

 

[two3zone]

Sub 65% free throw shooter, sub 30% from three, more turnovers than assists, rebounding non existent, not even a steal a game.

Sorry, awful year, Joe never had a year even close to that.

Jesse good riddance, Joe was awful, though amirite?

I’ll pass on taking the two main players from an NIT WAC team. Is this really where we are? Lol

Did you even watch the 2 highlight videos? Aziz is better than any C we currently have and it’s not even close

Check out this highlight video, we don’t have anyone on the roster who could compete with this kid.

Strange response - I’ve seen Benny do those dunks and Benny is a better shooter than Moyer

I’m just sayin a highlight tape is the last thing to look at when evaluating a player, it’s literally pointless. I could make a highlight reel of myself and look like I’m ready for the NBA and I’m 44 years old.

Moyer was not good, yet by that video you’d think he was a top guy in the country.

I understand your point about highlight videos, but look at Aziz’s statistics at Utah Valley. He’s an absolute beast.

Btw, would not be surprised if the blue bloods like Kansas look at him if Hunter goes to UK. I think he’s that good

I don’t have a problem with him, but I don’t want their point guard, I should’ve clarified better.

I just want to be good again, and not bubble good, frustrated.

If Judah bolts for the NBA, I’d much rather have a 5th year grad transfer at PG, who averaged 14/6/5 and shot 40% from three than an unproven Chance or Quadir starting at PG. Trey’s got good height at 6-4

There will be better guys available. We don’t need to rush this.

Agree just pointing out that the school a transfer comes from

better guys available in our price range? Trey’s college production is pretty good even if the WAC level of competition is beneath the ACC.

Yes. NIL is not the problem some of you guys are making it out to be.
