Judah Mintz announced on his Instagram page Monday that he will enter his name into the NBA Draft process while maintaining his eligibility to return to Syracuse.

"For as long as I can remember, I've had the same dream," Mintz posted. "I've dedicated countless hours to the pursuit of that dream. My freshman year at Syracuse was part of that dream. It was an incredible experience. I am thankful for the love and support my teammates and I received from the Syracuse community.

"I'm announcing that I will continue to pursue my dream and enter my name into the 2023 NBA Draft process, while maintaining my college eligibility. I'm excited and blessed to have this opportunity and I can not wait to see what is in store for my future."

Mintz averaged 16.3 points, 4.6 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game during his freshman campaign. That put him on the ACC's All Freshmen Team after earning ACC Freshman of the Week five times during the season. The Orange is hoping he still elects to return as he could become part of one of the best backcourts in the conference as former McDonald's All-American JJ Starling is transferring to SU. Either way, he was every bit of the elite recruit he was advertised to be when he committed.

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.
