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

[hoopsupstate]

SU has three weeks to get after Mintz. Someone should be living on his doorstep. JB and staff should be at every game he plays. We’ve been good for Coach Smith. Get into his practices too.

This has some Chance Westry family vibes to it...

I thought we were in good shape.

 

[dasher]

Are you hearing anything dash?

Nothing good.

 

[hoopsupstate]

It makes you wonder why his final list is what it is. You would think more major programs would be involved. Why did he decommit from Pitt?

 

[UpstateSM]

I am worried that we are going to be bad again

Just started? This train left the station years ago

Yeah but now when I’m worried about being bad it’s going 13-18

I'm worried that our coach doesn't see it. That he actually believes this stuff about this being a great class. Okay, Symir, Joe, Cole, Benny and Jesse. Can Jesse improve enough to be a big factor?

I worry that nexts years team will struggle to score 60.

This thread is starting to kill me. We feel good, we don’t feel Good. We are feeling the love, someone else is feeling the love.

I am going to wait until Judah Mintz makes up his mind and announces his decision. If he decides to play at Syracuse, great. If he doesn’t then okay, he didn’t want to play at Syracuse.

Tired of the negative speculation and the eventual finger pointing.

I hope he decides on Syracuse, if not it was not meant to be.

Honestly, and this is not a resignation at what appears to be an upcoming nut punch, I always saw Mintz as a luxury. If we get him, then what happens w/ Copeland, who I really like and hope sticks at the Cuse?
Is Mintz that much of a difference maker that he can change the trajectory of this class? Or is he basically a luxury at this point.

Copeland can’t shoot and is poor defensively. Mintz is the total package.

Definitely, not a luxury. I don't think JB would bother to recruit Mintz if thought Copeland was ready.

 

[Day2]

Do we think the staff was a bit premature with their confidence?

Not learning from past mistakes at all.

 

[Day2]

Mintz visited on Feb 26.

I can't tell you word-for-word what he told the staff, but people close to the program were very pleased.

Obviously things change.

You can't predict baseball, and you can't predict teenage recruits.

We can predict the overreactions by the coaching staff and people close to the program, though.

5%? Soooo you're saying we got a chance?!

5 pct chance against DePaul nc State and wake. Smh

I have moved all the NIL discussion to a new thread here.

Please leave this thread for Judah Mintz discussions ONLY. Thank you.

 

[Chip]

Nothing good.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Promise the kid he will start. If he underperforms preseason, in the eyes of JB, he doesn't start. JB is likely gone after next year anyway.

 

[PauliePeppas]

It's an excellent excuse to use when you miss out on a guy. We run it out there all the time.

Yup

 

[Fly Rodder]

If the demands are too much for Mintz, I can't imagine what a former UK commit wants ...

 

[albanycuse]

Didn’t Girards dad have demands also?? What’s the difference as long as $$ isn’t involved
