Judah On GTown's Portal Wishlist?

[CardiacCuse]

I’ll say this: IF Judah transfers, I hope it’s to a team on our schedule because I’d love to see him & Copeland go head-to-head.

id be curious to see judah AND benny reunited...and what if they all of a sudden figured it all out and led them to the final 4????

 

[two3zone]

Judah Mintz was on Trilly Donovan’s list of players who is expected to portal (basically wants biggest bag).

Bryce Hopkins already announced he was planning on coming back to PC next year… Brycen Goodine played at Prov under Cooley so preexisting relationship.

He knows he’s not getting NBA money.

 

[two3zone]

Not trying to be a jerk, but what contender wants a ball dominant point guard that can’t shoot and only sometimes plays defense?

They don’t. Highest bidder.

 

[W'boro'Cuse315]

Mintz might get killed playing for Cooley. Cooley demands you play defense. His glutes will hurt for weeks being forced to get into a defensive stance.

Gotta say, I didn’t have a post about Judah’s glutes on the ol’ SyracuseFan Bingo card tonight.

 

[tptcuse]

I guess I am surprised anyone thought Judah would be here next year. Other than the visceral "but it's Georgetown!" reaction, this makes sense. Make a bunch of money living near home for a year or two and get away from some of the negativity that has surrounded his time here.

Agree. He and Cooley didn't seem like a match made in heaven to me, but I wanted someone smarter than me to make that point, before I chimed in.

 

[two3zone]

He wants a bag because he’s never getting paid in the NBA.

I didn’t see this before I posted almost the same exact words. Lol

 

[djcon57]

I am hazarding a guess that they are onto plan B, since plan A (the NBA) is no longer looking likely. Shorter - I agree with you.

Yeah I was trying to be nice.

 

[MikeSU02]

if he can't make the NBA, he should absolutely maximize his earning potential while in college.

I have no problem with it.

Good luck to him, truly. Let's finish this year strong and then whatever happens, happens.

 

[cusefan88]

If there was an excellent player on Georgetown that Cuse wanted and coaxed from the portal everyone would be thrilled. Consistency. Hope he stays but if he wants the bag and leaves good luck to him.

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

From Trilly Donovan and other 'insiders', it appears an open secret that Judah's camp is shopping for an NIL bag behind the scenes. We will see if Red and co want to play this type of ball after just going through a bidding war with Jesse, although this may just be the new norm in college hoops.

The thought of Judah -> G'Town transpiring is nothing short of staggering.

It’s not a secret at all. People around the team all know. My son told me about Mintz last week. I thought the was just messin with me. Might have to listen to him from now on.

Having the entire team know that the “team leader” is out the door looking for a bigger bag seems less than ideal for culture.

 

[rocklloyd]

Whatever. Close to not caring anymore.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Not sure being a feeder program for bottom dwellers would make me feel any better (again, not saying we are a feeder program). Either way we can't get into a rhythm of losing our best players to NIL bags.

Red will get a better player.

 

[tptcuse]

Wouldn't be surprised if Benny got packaged into this. Judah seemed less than thrilled about that dismissal.

 

[hoopsupstate]

If it’s true, we can put a beat down on both of them next year in the Dome.

 

[TinyManInside]

Takes two to wango tango

The Nuge!

 

[malpearl31]

This NIL/Portal era of college hoops essentially puts every player on a 1-year contract, with every team operating with an unlimited salary cap. These occurrences (guys like Jesse leaving or Judah potentially heading to Gtown for a bigger bag) are basically the norm going forward. The college hoops landscape that we all knew and loved is gone, we all need to recognize and accept that fact.

 

[Cuseball]

Red will get a better player.

This portal year is going to be even crazier than last year’s. There are much more organized NIL approaches with many more teams involved . Full fledged free agency very well could happen. We will lose some, we will get some and hopefully we end up better overall.

Cuse!

Judah has no interest in playing at Georgetown. The only reason to leak something like this is to get him a better payday to come back to Cuse.

It’s really quite clever to pick a big Cuse rival. Right now there’s a lot of big Cuse donors with deep pockets that want Syracuse back in the tourney and hate Georgetown. At the same time clearly GTown is desperate.

Judah and “his camp” know exactly what they’re doing. They also know that a few big donors told Mr Fran Brown and Kyle McCord to name their price and then they signed the check so there’s money in the checkbook.

Also Think about the last time your boss gave you a raise when your metrics and performance were the same as the year before. Let’s be honest that we are better than last year but still not in the tourney. The only way to get a big nil bump is to have another bidder for Judah.

Georgetown will offer him a price and then it’ll be up to Autry and the big NIL guys if they want to keep him or go buy another PG.

We should all mentally prepare ourselves for Judah putting his name in the portal though. It’s not that he doesn’t bleed orange, it’s just business.

I don’t think he’s going anywhere. Unfinished business and all that with Q/Bell/Brown/JJ. If he did go anywhere it would be a contender not a rebuild anyway.

 

[pokercuse08]

I’ll say this: IF Judah transfers, I hope it’s to a team on our schedule because I’d love to see him & Copeland go head-to-head.

I was thinking the same thing. Imagine 30,000+ in the Dome for Georgetown, deafening boos when Mintz gets announced, Q in full lockdown mode all night going toe to toe, student section waving around empty canvas money bags to taunt him, chanting "Won't Be Drafted!" or "Go to Europe!" at him whenever he touches the ball.

Talk about putting some juice back in an old rivalry!

 

[pearl31]

Judah has no interest in playing at Georgetown.

eh he has interest in playing wherever the bag is biggest, and more power to him

 

[Sbucketball]

Red will get a better player.

I hope you’re right, but that’s a tall order despite what our fans have been saying on the board lately.

And taking a non-tourney team and replacing our most talented player with a slightly more talented player isn’t an approach that will give us sustained success. We need to get those more talented players but replace our worst players.

There’s no positive to this. People will act like it’s not a big deal like they did with Jesse last year, but this is not good.

I have no doubt that’s the approach here but I think he’s likely misplaying his hand if he thinks that’s a winning move here. There’s always the risk the school says “see ya.” We have a good NIL situation but I don’t necessarily seeing Red supporting a lot of it going to Judah given what he wants with pace and style of play. Just A hunch

 

[Sherman20]

So Cooley is gonna have more money than Cuse for NIL this offseason?!? We need bigger donors.
