Twitter Reaction After Judah Mintz’s De-Commitment from Pitt

After an embarrassing season-opening loss to The Citadel, Pitt fans knew that it was going to be a long season. But one day later, things became even darker when the program’s lone commit, four-star Judah Mintz, de-committed from the program.

The basketball program is now officially a dumpster fire. I don’t blame Judah. I would have done the same. Capel needs to go. The problem is who wants the job?

I don’t know where we head from here. This season is going to be be an unmitigated disaster though.

That lost and all the so called Pitt fans with all the negativity talk about their coach probably helped with the decommitment. I'm sure with him looking on Twitter seeing all the negative messages about Pitt made him say yes I want to go there so I hope y'all are happy!!

So Pitt tells Jalen Hood-Schifino to not bother visiting for a recruit that ends up decommitting anyway.

This is sad comedy

In the past nine days, Pitt:

– Lost its second-leading returning scorer to a season-ending ACL tear

– Lost its leading returning scorer to an indefinite suspension

– Lost to The Citadel by 15

– Lost a commitment from a top-100 recruit who was the only member of its 2022 class

Buy-in works both ways. At some point, guys will question if what’s being sold is worth purchasing.

Judah Mintz is the latest example of someone answering that as no.

ESPN 100 guard Judah Mintz announces he’s decommitting from Pittsburgh. No. 43 in the 2022 class. Really liked him over the summer. Makes shots, plays with energy. Immediately becomes one of the best available seniors. https://t.co/LejdYmqDOr

This is not nearly as shocking as the loss to The Citadel. Surprised it too him this long to announce

What looked like a potential year maybe in the right direction has gone totally off the rails. You lose your best athlete to an ACL injury. Your top transfer also hurt. Your best shooter suspended. You best recruit opens up recruitment. What a nightmare few weeks for Pitt Bball

The worst thing about the Capel era was that he was realistically a good hire. At the time, it was probably our best-case scenario. It still spiraled out of control. Not sure who can turn the program around at this point.

I think the Volleyball team deserves to play in the Pete instead of the Basketball….

Guess Ben Howland and Jamie Dixon were pretty good at their jobs.

The 56th best player in the class of 2022, and Pitt’s lone commitment for next year, reopens his recruitment.

Not even 24 hours since Pitt’s loss to The Citadel.

Yikes. https://t.co/SRHVnFAcBK

The cherry on top to an awful start to the season for Pitt.

Cannot begin to describe how much of an impact Mintz would have had for Pitt. Jeff Capel has now landed 1 commitment total in the the last 2 classes.

The team has 9 active scholarship players, and 0 commits. https://t.co/cThAAVTPv7
