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

[phil77]

Interesting no Benny = no Mintz ... I think when Mintz was leaning DePaul then Benny was leaning portal. Both changed good work by JB

Wow now that the dust has settled it is so interesting to hear how people really felt. This morning I thought we had no shot in so excited congrats to the staff!!!

Didn't I tell you yesterday that the staff was confident?

Well, when JB made it clear that we would not a recruit a forward unless Cole left, that was the reason.

Once again, those cb's are never wrong. 100% again

About that Cole comment….,

 

[orangefog]

Picking Syracuse over Depaul is not shocking the world.

lol Capel's gotta just be LOVING this

also, minor shout out to Barnham who was the first "expert" to go against the grain yesterday

 

[GoCuse14]

I don't always go straight to the bar after work. But when I do...its because we just got a fantastic recruit and I want to go celebrate it with all my Iowa friends that couldnt care less...but they gonna hear about it anyway

 

[orangefog]

I am curious to see where his final ranking is, because he has been tearing it up. I would love to see him top 40 across the board, I think he deserves at least that.

 

[dasher]

About that Cole comment….,

Maybe I should wait until Friday

 

[Orangezoo]

LOL. The thing I want to know, assuming Mintz does announce for Syracuse, is what kind of a milkshake is dasher going to get?

Shamrock shake?

rule 1- DONT listen to outside noise. It’s been cuse for a long time
Rule 2- thank Red for his work. He busted his Azz the last couple months

A big thanks to Benny and JB. JB didn’t let Benny walk out (Like he wanted to) and he’s coming back next year. JB sold him on playing with his friends. This is huge for the program!!

Yea, I don’t agree with a few people on here who say Red isn’t a good recruiter. I have no idea about his ability to be a head coach, but I see recruiting, his connections and the trust that people have in him as one of his strengths. Cheers to him on this huge win.

Long time lurker, first time poster because I have to put my observations out there. I started following this forum and recruiting in 2015 when I was in high school. I primarily get my info off of social media because I grew up with it and with a computer science degree that I focused heavily in social media and analytics, I’ve come to notice patterns over the years by trying to disseminate info from recruits social media accounts and posts. Two things I will say that I have noticed about Mintz that typically in the past has led to commitments. The first being that Mintz follows every Syracuse recruit on instagram. He follows a few recruits from the other schools but no where near the love he appears to have for our players and recruiting class. The other thing that is interesting is him wanting to play with Zion Cruz. They were together briefly at Oak Hill and it seems like there was something odd that happened that drove both Dior and Zion out of there. This is just a theory but there could’ve always been some bad blood between all of them since Mintz was going to get a lot of minutes. The other trends I’ve noticed as well with our recruiting class is that they are actively recruiting him hard on his posts and reposting his clips on their stories. I noticed Quadir had reposted his clip with an orange heart the other day, so even Quadir who people think feels threatened by Mintz coming and taking time from him is actively recruiting him and seems perfectly fine with staying if he commits. The only school that might have another reason for him going there is NC State, and that’s because his girlfriend goes to NC A&T but we all know how that goes. Last but certainly not least, I’ve seen recruits slip little hints here and there as to where they are going on social media. His twitter likes aren’t revealing but the tik tok (trust me I hate it just as much as you old folks) that was posted here interestingly had a picture of him in his syracuse jersey while on the visit amongst a collage of pictures of him playing basletball “all grown up” with the caption “how bad did it hurt”. Take what you will from that but to me its him saying “look at me back in the day and look at me now and where I’ve made it”. Also interesting no other school visit photos were posted in that video or any others. Again just observations of mine and I hate to try and inspire false hope if things are trending poorly but hey I wouldn’t be mad if it was right.

Well let’s just say I’m not mad! It sucked being the only one to believe in it for a solid month, and I was so confident with my data that I finally felt it was enough to get some people talking about him but I’m glad the follow the leader crystal ball prediction prediction also panned out as that seemed to finally get some people to at least say what if. Social media don’t lie!!!! Time for me to find a new recruit

Joe to the two, hopefully Cole, Jesse at the 5, Mintz at the pg. Hopefully Benny improves or we have an impact freshman at the other forward spot, we have an actual team with guys playing where they should play. Think this team is a lot better than last years already.

3 guard lineup, with Cole and Jessie up front, and no injuries, = we get off the bubble. Will this impact Cole's decision?

 

[50YRsofCuse]

Benny and the Jets. (Justin Taylor, Quadir Copeland and Judah Mintz).

A whole lot of friends in this group and add Maliq Brown to that mix of friends

Yeah. From what I can tell it's been more a matter of who/when he was "permitted" to recruit - and whom the HC would be willing to "sign off on"

Hey, Judah…

 

[two3zone]

I think it has to, makes it much more attractive than it was an hour ago. It’s amazing what a legit point guard can do to change a program. Love this kid.

This better get JG3 off the ball for the majority of every game.

25-30 mpg for Mintz PG
10-15 mpg Symir
JG3 for 30ish at SG, Mintz for the rest or Taylor spot minutes up top.
Taylor will have to play F, but with Swider iffy, that is a necessity.

If JB actually plays the players to their strengths, this could be a tourney team next year. I think D and rebounding will still be a major problem, but we should get far more athletic.
