Goofy post. No one said that but it’s natural to watch a player and think about who they have patterned their game after. For example, nearly every move Kobe ever did was a complete clone of Jordan so it’s natural to say “Kobe reminds me of Jordan”. It doesn’t mean he is MJ or as great as MJ or will win championships like MJ. This isn’t rocket science people.
Zoo just having some fun. Syracuse fans tend to lean a bit over their skies when it comes to freshman and expectations. I am just from the camp of hey we seemingly brought in a pretty good player, let's see what he does. Give the young guy a chance first so to speak.
The highs and lows of recruiting. I spent the last year fretting over Dior, Chance, JJ, Zion and Kamari. Then we end up with Judah and he is ranked higher than all of them except the local guy JJ. But I will hate having to play against JJ and Kamari. That will be a double kick in the arse.Judah comes in at #33 on ESPN’s final 2022 top 100 ranking:

Mintz fits our roster better than JJ IMO. I think this worked out well for us and I really don’t think JJ is much better or better at all than Mintz.
That’s probably true of all fans at all schools. At the same time, no one here seems to be over the top about any of the other freshmen, and yet I can almost assure you that at least one of them will surprise people. It’s how it always works.
Agreed. We had a few who actually thought it best for Benny to leave after his tough first year but I think he showed allot of character sticking around and I think it's fair to believe he will definitely perform better next season. He will find his place in the team and if he knows Judah and has played with him that familiarity could benefit his game.
Excellent.
Iverson is one of the most overrated players in the history of basketball. Would get you 50 wins in the regular season because he played crazy hard every night, then would get beat down in the playoffs almost every year because overall he was a horribly inefficient player.
I say we take him all the way to 6'10" so he can back up Edwards.
Nobody has ever claimed that efficiency was a strength in AI’s game, because it wasn’t… but to claim that Allen Iverson is one of the most overrated players in NBA history because he’s inefficient is patently ridiculous.
If there's one constant in college basketball, it's that no two sources will ever call a prospect the same height
And with the proper dedication to strength and conditioning he could solve the depth issues at defensive tackle as well.
Yeah AI gave it his all. Don’t think he’s overrated or underrated. Rated just about right. He was really really good especially before he got worn down
Awesome. His gift were the keys to the 2022-2023 Syracuse Orangemen. Drive safe.
Well said, my friend. 144 percent agree about Smith.

Thanks my friend!!! I always say I'm not a scout or analyst, but I've never understood why Mintz is getting ranked in the 50s (or lower) by some recruiting services after the senior year that he had at OH in the NIBC.Nice article, cuseallday. Nice to see someone rank Mintz #15 overall.
