Recruiting website Rivals released updated rankings for the 2022 class on Wednesday, and Pitt commit Judah Mintz got a significant bump, moving from No. 103 in the class to No. 68. The 35-spot rise signifies a major jump, as only 15 players in the Rivals 150, or 10 percent, moved up 35 or more spots.
Mintz’s meteoric rise in rank can likely be attributed to his impressive showing at Peach Jam in July. During the Nike EYBL event, Mintz led Team Durant to a 9-2 record, averaging 18.2 points, 2.6 assists and 2.5 rebounds per game while shooting 59.
