Welcome to National Lazy Day!

There are so many holidays throughout the year that people celebrate by doing things that take effort. Running, swimming, taking down Christmas trees, and yelling "fudge" at cobras; it all gets to be too much! Can't there just be a day to be lazy and do nothing? Yep. Today is National Lazy Day. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

MBB: All-Time Most-Watched Games (RX; HM)


MBB: All-Time Most-Watched Games

Here are the most-watched MBB games of all-time:

Some conclusions to draw:
  • Basketball viewership is in the NCAA Tournament, not the regular season; the top regular-season game of 2021-22 was the UNC/Duke season finale, which drew 3.98 million viewers on ESPN.
  • ACC teams have drawn big numbers over the years; 6 of these games feature one of 4 different ACC teams (Duke, North Carolina, NC State, and Syracuse).

SU sports, at long last, will have an NIL collective (PS; $; Ditota)

The name, image and likeness situation in Syracuse is about to get a lot more interesting.

A group called the “315 Foundation,” has been in the planning stages for about 10-11 months, its organizers said. And though the people in charge prefer that it not be called a “collective,” what they’re planning in the bold new NIL era will allow Syracuse athletes to benefit from a growing trend in the industry.

College-specific collectives have formed across the nation with the intent of offering money to NCAA athletes who can now profit from their name, image and likeness (NIL). These collectives generally offer a way for boosters and fans to pool their money and pay athletes to perform a service.

Syracuse Basketball: 4-star PG Elmarko Jackson vaults into top-25 overall (itlh; Adler)

When recruiting service On3 recently updated its national rankings for the 2023 class, Syracuse basketball target Elmarko Jackson made one of the largest leaps across the country.

The 6-foot-4 Jackson, a four-star point guard who received a scholarship offer from the Orange coaching staff in April, proved one of the best all-around performers this spring and summer on the AAU circuit.

That, in turn, has led to a flood of high-major offers, with his total number of scholarship offers now hovering around 30. Additionally, his play over the past few months in grassroots basketball has fueled a national rating surge for Jackson.

In my opinion, Elmarko Jackson still remains significantly undervalued on a national scale, although let’s see where his rankings reside after all of the primary recruiting services refresh their 2023 ratings.

Syracuse basketball faces steep competition for four-star point guard Elmarko Jackson.

According to On3, Jackson presently checks in at No. 23 overall, No. 6 at point guard and No. 1 in Connecticut. Previously, On3 had him at No. 61 nationally.

Syracuse basketball recruiting update (TNIAAM; Wall)

The Syracuse Orange women got a nice start to their 2023 recruiting with the commitment of ESPN Top 75 player Alyssa Latham. The 6’1 forward from Illinois is ranked 68th currently by ESPN and had offers from schools such as Tennessee, Rutgers, Wisconsin and Boston College. She was high school teammates with incoming Syracuse freshman Kennedi Perkins and her commitment helps to address any concerns that Felisha Legette-Jack can recruit top players to Syracuse. Here’s some footage of Latham in action for her AAU team, Midwest Elite.

On the men’s side 2023 target JP Estrella completed his visit to Syracuse and then announced he’d make his final decision on September 2nd.


JP Estrella, On3’s No. 16 overall prospect in the 2023 class, will announce his college decision on September 2nd, he tells @On3Recruits.

It appears that it will come down to Iowa and Syracuse but both Kansas and Gonzaga are still making overtures. If Estrella doesn’t use his 5th and final visit the Orange could be in good position to land a big who could step right in should Jesse Edwards not return for his extra year in 2023.

The origins of Syracuse’s Thornden Park, a story of triumph, beauty, and tragedy (PS; Searing)

This weekend marked the return of one of Central New York’s most unique art and cultural institutions, “Shakespeare in the Park,” which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.

Over the last two decades, the program has brought the legendary English playwright’s work to life on the stage employing ensemble casts of predominately child and senior citizen actors, on sets and in costumes that harken back to Shakespeare’s own time.

While the plays and the casts have changed over these many years, the omnipresent star of every show is the setting, Syracuse’s beloved Thornden Park and its beautiful amphitheater.

Now, Thornden has hosted Shakespeare in the Park for two decades, yes, but the park has been far more than just a setting for Shakespearean fiction. In fact, Thornden Park has its origins in a series of real-life dramas that give even the Bard a run for his pounds, shillings, and pence.

The story of Thornden Park begins with a visionary and enterprising man named James Haskins.

Born on a farm in Pompey in 1814, Haskins moved to Salina in 1827 and became a clerk in a grocery store.

Just over three decades since the first white settlers came to this land stewarded by the Haudenosaunee for centuries, and just two years after the completion of the Erie Canal, the village of Salina had grown into a sizable community centered around the exponentially expanding salt industry.

While working as a grocer and a clerk, Haskins soaked up all of the knowledge that he could about the salt business, recognizing, like many others flocking to the area, the incredible wealth offered by the region’s vast quantities of “white gold.”


Thornden Park

Thornden, circa 1900. After being abandoned by the Davis family, David Campbell, the head gardener, stayed on and managed the property for several years. Upon the death of Davis’s widow in 1920, the city of Syracuse purchased the property and turned it into a park. Tragically, the house burned to the ground in 1929, having just undergone extensive renovations. Onondaga Historical Association Onondaga Historical Association
