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

[dasher]

I just mean the whole thing:
- SU coaches feel he’s ours
- He wants to come here but…
- He ain’t coming here.

Time after time.

I have been in financial sales for 40 years. I can count on one hand the number of times that I have been wrong about where I stood with a prospect. I find it odd to be surprised at these decisions.

 

[rrlbees]

Another rivals forecaster has said DePaul. He could just be a copycat too, who knows.

 

[JeremyCuse]

You might be right. But for sure, that would be news to our coaches. And I would have a hard time believing that guys on the internet know more than our coaches do.

Certainly can't speak to what your hearing but from what I was told the staff ( or at least certain members) know/feel its been trending Depaul for weeks.

 

[rrlbees]

Get ready to hammer refresh tomorrow afternoon.

I had heard that as well. As I said, I had written Mintz off a while ago. Today, today, I was told hold on. So, I don't know what to say to that. Maybe it's just last second wishful thinking on the staffs part. But this was from the staff.

I hope people don't, this one is all but baked in.

When is the last time we got a pleasant surprise on one of these? Was it Robert Washington? One, was it really that long ago and two, what a disappointment that turned out to be.

I know the staff likes to stay on a guy right unitl the end (see Stewart) and it's possible they feel he could change his mind (it's happened before) but in this case feels more like hoping he will change his mind versus him actually committing here.

This feels like the JJ starling saga all over again

We've had some football success in these kind of recruitments but ball its been a real real real long time. Think were literally about 1 for our last 15.

No, SU was definitely a player here until recently, JJ, SU was out of it long before he actually committed.

I think I mentioned that Mintz asked Benny if he would be at Syracuse on his campus visit. benny told him probably and Mintz said than that is where I will go. Maybe the coaches think that with Benny staying (most likely) that Mintz will say yep. it's Syracuse. Just a thought.

Certainly possible/plausible, perhaps SU is trying to make a late push and feels they can flip him. Seems unlikely but nothing wrong with giving it a shot.

The thing is, they are more confidant than that. I could see them saying, hey, we aren't out of it yet. I have heard that before. And we never get the guy on any of those by the way. But this was more than that.

 

[TeamGlasses]

They are good at making use of 7 guys so whats the point?

 

[Cuse181]

I hope people don't, this one is all but baked in.

I hope people do what they want, because it doesn’t affect me (or you) at all.

Alright take it easy Dr. Phil

Well maybe they know something the rest of us don't which again in recruitign is certainly possible. That said everything else seems to be trending Depaul and even your prior info said the same thing. Perhaps Jake or SUorangeSU has an updated from their contacts.

 

[Briancuse]

So.jeremy thinks we have no shot. Dash believes the coaching staff is confident. Interesante.

I have been waiting for some of that all day since I was told what I was told. It came out of left field for me. Just when I thought I was out, they dragged me back in.

Odd, again its possible SU made a late push and Mintz is having second thoughts. Again seems unlikely to me knowing the process and family involvement but we have seen it happen before so I can't say its impossible.

I will tell you this, I didn't need to be disappointed on this. I had already accepted that he was going to DePaul. To have the rug pulled out a second time would be vexing. I will say this, I am a diabetic, but if we get Mintz, I will go out and get a milkshake. And not feel guilty about drinking it one bit.

Obviously things changed and some people are being super negative without any information.

Well, people are right that often, our coaches aren't as clued in as we would like. I don't know how to feel about this. Before today, I had written him off. Now, I feel that we at least have a shot and I like that. Something to hope for tomorrow. I sort of wish I didn't talk to anyone today. If I hadn't, and he chose Syracuse, I would be thrilled. And if he chooses DePaul I would have expected it.

 

[Sherman20]

This seems like a rerun at this point. Smh.

So Stubblefield and Ranson be dropping bags to suddenly land all these top-rated kids? I mean, DePaul couldn’t be any more of an irrelevant backwater program. I guess coming from Oregon, Stubblefield knows where the $$$$ cows are.
