Syracuse Orange

Class of 2022 combo guard Judah Mintz has officially signed with Syracuse basketball. Mintz signed during a ceremony at Oak Hill Academy along with teammate Christian Reeves, who is headed to Duke. Mintz committed earlier this month over finalists DePaul, NC State and Wake Forest. He is ranked the 33rd best player by SI All American. 

"It was just a great opportunity for me to come and be able to play to make an impact as a freshman," Mintz said after he committed. "I had a really good connection with coach Red Autry and with coach Boeheim too. Everything just came into play and that was the best fit for me."

Mintz joins guards Quadir Copeland and Justin Taylor, forwards Chris Bunch and Maliq Brown as well as center Peter Carey. 

"It's really exciting," Mintz said. "I know all of those dudes, so it should be really fun. I'm really excited to get there." 

The recruiting process was a long one for Mintz. He originally committed to Pittsburgh, but elected to reopen his recruitment rather than sign early with the Panthers. He received plenty of interest from high major programs from there, and scheduled one official visit in January (Xavier) and four in February (DePaul, NC State, Syracuse, Wake Forest). After the visits, it was decision making time.

Ultimately he picked Syracuse, and it was watching a postseason tournament that solidified that decision.

"It kind of clicked when I saw the ACC Tournament," Mintz said. "The stage, even though they were missing Buddy that game, how competitive they were. Even though they were missing their best player, it just showed me how competitive coach Boeheim was and the will to win."

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
