Welcome to European Day of Languages Day!

The European Day of Languages is 26 September, as proclaimed by the Council of Europe on 6 December 2001, at the end of the European Year of Languages (2001), which had been jointly organised by the Council of Europe and the European Union.[1]Its aim is to encourage language learning across Europe.


Objectives[edit]
The general objectives of the European Day of Languages are to:

• alert the public to the importance of language learning and diversify the range of languages learned in order to increase plurilingualism and intercultural understanding;

Recruiting Roundup: 2017 defensive end Jonathan Kingsley commits to Syracuse - The Juice Online (the juice; Cheng)

...
2017 guard Brandon Randolph visited Oregon over the weekend, writes 247 Sports’ Matt Prehm. Other schools he’s considering include Syracuse, Indiana, and Wake Forest, though he’s only been to SU so far. He’s rated four stars by 247 Sports.

With scholarship offer in tow, Robby Carmody enjoys return visit to Michigan (mlive.com; Quinn)

Last week was daunting, but typical, for Robby Carmody. Day after day, he went through on-court workouts at Mars Area High School, just outside Pittsburgh.

And day after day, college coaches filed in to see him.

Michigan showed up one day. So did Arizona, Penn State, Penn, Stanford, Pittsburgh, Purdue. Notre Dame and others. This is the new normal for the high school junior. Back in the first week of the ongoing evaluation period, he held eight workouts over five days for a line of coaches. Again, Michigan was represented among them.

For the Wolverines, Carmody is one of the program's top 2018 recruiting targets. A 6-foot-4 shooting guard, he's a natural scorer with sneaky athleticism and deep range. John Beilein extended a scholarship in early August, making him one of only four players in the class currently with a known offer.

For Carmody, meanwhile, it is one of many. He holds offers from Cincinnati, Louisville, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Purdue, Stanford and Xavier, among others. His most recent major offer came from Syracuse in late August.

Which made Saturday all the more important for Beilein and the program.

Philly vs. NYC All-City Standouts
(cityofbasketballlove.com; Staff)

Many of the top prospects from Philadelphia and New York City’s sophomore, junior and senior classes battled it out for city bragging rights in a trio of games at Ben Franklin HS on Saturday night.

The Philly vs. NY All-City Classic -- a two-night affair that saw the city’s best 8th graders and 9th graders play a pair of games on Friday at Imhotep -- has long showcased the best talent in the two hoops hotbeds, and this weekend was no exception.

Here’s are the CoBL staff’s picks for standouts from the high school games:
...
...
Quade Green (2017/Neumann-Goretti, Pa.)
Green showed the crowd why he will be playing at one of the blue bloods of college basketball next year right away by lighting up the scoreboard for the Philly All Stars. The Neumann-Goretti senior -- who’s being recruited by the likes of Duke, Kentucky and Syracuse -- scored nine points in the first quarter knocking down incredible incredible field goals with ease. In addition to scoring, Green also showed his dominance in ball handling and passing. His no-look, behind-the-back lob to Koby Thomas created a monster alley-oop dunk in the first quarter and energized his team. Green continued his stellar performance in the second half finishing with 16 points and earning the MVP award for his team.
...
...
Markquis Nowell (2018/Bishop Loughlin, N.Y.)
A sub-6-foot frame has never caused an opponent to overlook Nowell on the basketball court. Off the jump ball he drained back-to-back 3s to jumpstart an 11-point opening quarter. The 5-foot-8 guard was a bit more selective in his shots in the remaining periods, getting his teammates involved while finishing with 16 points. About 15 minutes after the collecting his MVP award, the Harlem native found himself donning a new jersey as he participated in the 2017 game, where he dropped 12 points while competing against his close friend Quade Green. Nowell’s college recruitment has begun to expand with contact from high-majors including California, Syracuse, Louisville, and Michigan, he said. Local schools Rutgers and Seton Hall remain in the hunt for the top 2018 NYC PG. He went on an unofficial visit to Seton Hall earlier this month, which went well, he said, but he doesn’t plan on taking anymore visits as he shifts his focus to the impending season.

Bizarre play lands Utica College, Cortland State in SportsCenter Top 10 (video) (PS; Owens)

One of the most improbable catches you'll ever see landed Utica College sophomore Dehstin Smart on ESPN SportsCenter's Top 10 list on Saturday.
Smart has two interceptions in the Pioneers' 24-13 Homecoming win against Cortland State -- and the Pioneers had five picks on the day -- but it was his second-quarter grab that got the attention of ESPN. The ball was deflected and then bounced off one player's back and another's helmet before making its way into Smart's hands.

Check it out below:
