Class of 2022 PG Judah Mintz (DC / Oak Hill) COMMITTED/SIGNED TO SYRACUSE

[DilemaCuse]

No question. There has been a level of confidence about this one. What scares me most, how in the world are we going to be able to recruit anyone any good next year?

Right, whats the class of 23 gonna look like?

Its like trying to recruit when you are on the last year of your contract and no extension has been announced. Just a big cryptic message with no detail or succession plan.

 

[dasher]

Eh this would be next level.

Well, he hasn't said anything yet. But I did wonder about the waiting until April. He completed his visits. Why the wait?

Example 1209 of recruiting always being fluid and unpredictable. It's a lock when a player signs beyond that anything can and will happen especially to Syracuse

Is it a lock when a player signs? *looking at Skyy*

Great question - for another thread.

Not this one. Thanks.

I have zero confidence we sign anyone in the top 75 until after JB retires. We just don’t get it done anymore when it’s a battle at the end.

 

[hoopsupstate]

This would be a complete shocker to the staff.

It seems to be a common occurrence. They don’t seem to read the tea leaves in recruiting. It’s becoming a huge problem. They just don’t get it. They continue get payed. Losing players to DePaul should tell JW all he needs to know about this staffs ability to refruit.

Benny was top 75 last season…

I guess the ACC Coach of the Year got played too.

NIL has changed the recruiting dynamic forever.

He is smart enough to load up with the portal.. He got the ACC player of the year from the portal. Let’s see what JB gets from the portal.. Compare us to what other coaches in the ACC got last year. Our roster is a complete mess. That is on our coaching staff. We couldn’t go .500 in a horrible league with a veteran team.

Then we better get a coach that knows what he’s doing in that regard.

Coaches can’t do anything

Bino Ranson is a great recruiter. He’s beaten us before in our backyard

Need an active platform with boosters. The staff has to be walled off

 

[Cusefan0307]

Blaming NIL is dumb. It’s not the reason we keep missing on guys. One-offs sure, but not 0 for 5 years.

 

[Orangezoo]

Boy if we miss here and don't do really well in the portal we could be looking at a season like the women had this year.

 

[UpstateSM]

We should start cheating again

 

[5OutFred]

Coaches can’t do anything

That's a failing mentality - what the 'program' or SU CAN do is tap into booster programs without connecting to the coaches. See every SEC school getting guys over better basketball programs.

If this instance, be it true, isn't a wake-up to modern college basketball recruiting, it will never hit the staff. The staff has repeatedly not "played the game" with the '22 class, and that's why they've completely struck out after promising an elite class.

Maybe we should hire someone like him.

 

[phil77]

If we lose Mintz it is just another nail in the coffin.

 

[Orangefan1]

This is such bs.

 

[Orangezoo]

Buddy changing his mind/tune?

 

[jdubs30]

I guess the ACC Coach of the Year got played too.

We had plenty of people think Mintz was almost a done deal, but now the DePaul news comes out. Was Wake as confident as we were in a commit? If they weren’t, then they didn’t get played.

You feeling like this one is done then?
