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

[dasher]

A few thoughts
-Beyond excited. We deserved to have one break our way.
-obviously this kid is a great player. kind of reminds me a little bit of a bigger Kyle Lowry. But I also think it is good for our class to have him come so none of the other recruits feel like they have to do more than they’re capable of. They can all contribute at their own pace and are properly slotted.
-I honestly think it is a smart move for the kid. Not only can Judah come in and play right away but he will have some serious Athletic competition in practice going up against Symir and quadir. And I suspect Quadir is going to learn a lot from Judah.
-this team will be so much more athletic than this past season. One of the reasons we lost so many close games, besides not being able to get the ball in bounds, is that our lack of athleticism give us a little margin for error. If you watched all the games how often did we take a charge, run a fast break or dunk the ball? Everything was difficult.
-this kid has no idea how popular he already is and will be and how hard people will be rooting for him. Our fans are dying to rally behind this team. And he could potentially be the face of our program. Hard to believe he considered going to a school where basketball is not a priority.
-Judah has some much needed personality and swag that our program needs.
-I’m hoping with Judah and Sy we have seen the last of JG3 at the one. Now he will finally be in his best position to succeed.
-Great day for the Orange. The final 4 has not even been played yet and I wish practice started tomorrow.

Also, we never got a loose ball. Hopefully that changes now.

Maybe Tom can set up a board chat with him.

If there is interest, we can try. We should do a board chat soon for hoops. Maybe after Cole decides and we see who we get from the portal. Mike Waters might be a better choice though.

 

[Nicknack]

I think we have all been a bit rude not to give some proper thanks to our old friend...

Thanks, for you being you. Don't worry, we'll let you see Judah a couple times next year. Bwahahahahaha.

It has a little something for everyone and here is my summary in bullets so no one has to read through the entire thing:

• Airplane the movie
• Trip McNeely
• Mike Dexter
• Kenny, call sign 'Special K'
• JLH, call sign AmanDuh
• Lacey Chabert
• Some knocks on Buddy, Joe and Symir, but I don't have the time to go through it all
• References to Duke and Duke Commodities Brokers
• Coffee
• Espresso
• Pinot
• Scotch
• Bourbon
• Passing Thoughts on DePaul
• Judah Mintz

Preston…he’s tall. Well kinda, kinda tall. And he’s always wearing….t shirts!

You know who else I liked, who never got much play? Is Velma, from Scooby Doo!

 

[miamicuse]

BUT BUT BUT now we have two guys with hair the dangled around to mess with their court vision!!!!!

 

[walsh2012]

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!!

SOPH BENNY LFG OOPS IN THE DOME ARE BACK

 

[OrangeDW]

Ha love that stoner kid!
Instead of editing my list, I forgot

• Stripes
• Office Space
• Swingline brand staplers

At least, that's how I'll remember this thread. And the Pinot that never was.

Edit: I swear it, I use the Velma (never got much play hahaha) line on people and they have no idea.

I used to think of that convo often when Preston Shumpert played for Cuse.

“I mean he’s Preston…Preston. You know?”

“Preston. I like that guy.”

“Prestooooown!!!!”

 

[Day2]

Just imagine that if this thread was locked, as some wanted, we would have missed out on all of this fun!

Guilty as charged.

Great call. He almost didn't believe it himself. Confidence level 1!

I’m on cloud 9 tonight

Mike is in New Orleans being inducted in to the college basketball writers Hall of Fame. A great accomplishment for Mike

“College chicks are totally different, bro. They’re all serious and s—t. They all talk about world issues, and…ecomological crap.”

That might be the best scene in the whole movie, lol.

Right down to the Greek letters on his shirt.

“Can’t Hardly Wait” is our “American Graffiti.” And it’s better than “American Graffiti.”

I know, I know, Judah Freaking Mintz.

Milkshakes?

 

[orangefog]

Milkshakes?

This?

 

[Dcuse]

I've heard it's pretty much confirmed he's going to DePaul

Love going back and reading these.

 

[dasher]

This?

No I was talking about...oh never mind. Yes, that.

 

[orangefog]

No I was talking about...oh never mind. Yes, that.

From what I can tell, she makes great milkshakes.

 

[Dcuse]

1- these issues are in every city in America - maybe you need to get out more.

2- Judah couldn’t care less about all of those things. DePaul is $peaking hi$ language. We’re not. End of story.

Guess somebody took a crash course in Judah’$ language

BUT BUT BUT now we have two guys with hair the dangled around to mess with their court vision!!!!!

Here is what works for Jordan Clarkson who has very similar hair, although normally he has a regular headband on. Be interesting to see if JAB "suggests" something for Benny next season.

 

[FrancoPizza]

Said he knows and wants to play with Q and Justin.

Let’s hope the other freshmen can earn PT to fulfill that wish.

Weitsman was told to get the job done or walk home from Chicago.

 

[FrancoPizza]

Wonder if there’s a recruit we can go after that would love playing with Judah.

Who is this mystery recruit?

 

[jmcclure33]

If all this goes on and then he still chooses DePaul now, I’m calling in sick tomorrow. I think I’d deserve a 3 day weekend after this emotional roller coaster.

I may have celebrated too much tonight… I’m calling in sick anyways.
