Welcome to Kraken Day!

Kraken Day, also known as Myths and Legends Day, is part of International Cephalopod Awareness Days, or Cephalopod Awareness Week, which takes place from October 8-12 each year. Since octopuses have eight arms and squid have eight arms and two tentacles, the holiday week begins on the eighth day of the tenth month. Cephalopods are a class of marine invertebrates. Related to snails and clams, they have arms and tentacles, three hearts, large brains, and blue blood. Today we celebrate cephalopods of myth and legend, especially krakens.

Syracuse Basketball: Could Jim Boeheim successor be outside SU family? (itlh; Adler)


Syracuse basketball boss Jim Boeheim, in just a few short weeks, will roam the sidelines as the Orange’s head coach for his 47th year at the helm in Central New York.

Boeheim, whose first losing season ever as the team’s head coach came during the 2021-22 campaign when the ‘Cuse went 16-17, has a current roster that features a blend of several veterans and a whole lot of underclassmen, including a six-member 2022 recruiting class.

Boeheim has said that he knows when he will retire, and that a succession plan to replace him as Syracuse basketball head coach is in place. Of course, none of that is getting shared with the public, at least for now anyway.

Boeheim has also said that he thinks the best approach is for the Orange’s next head coach to be someone who already is part of the Syracuse basketball family, rather than an outsider.

I agree with Jim Boeheim here, although some of my fellow ‘Cuse fans would like the program to start fresh, so to speak, after Boeheim calls it quits.

Things will be quite different when Syracuse basketball head coach Jim Boeheim hangs up his whistle.

The debate over when Boeheim will retire, and who will replace him, is a hot-button topic and has been going on for years. I feel like the discussion has become more heightened lately, given the Orange’s losing campaign in 2021-22.

What’s more, since the ‘Cuse joined the Atlantic Coast Conference from the Big East Conference in 2013-14, the team has slogged through numerous sub-par regular seasons and recruiting has taken a dip, even as Syracuse basketball made a few deep runs in March Madness.

Syracuse Orange men’s basketball player profiles: Chris Bunch (TNIAAM; Szuba)

The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball season draws near with the team’s first exhibition game just over two weeks away. As such, we continue along with our player profiles, this time with freshman forward Chris Bunch.

Bunch played three seasons of high school basketball at De La Salle in Concord, California. He finished high school basketball at Wasatch Academy in Utah last season. As a freshman, Bunch figures to earn playing time from the forward position and he’ll compete for a starting role.

Bunch fits the mold of a long, rangy forward that Syracuse fans are assuredly familiar with. He can shoot it at a high level and his athleticism is most apparent near the rim in a way that reminds of James Southerland.

— Mike Waters (@MikeWatersSYR) October 7, 2022
Position: Forward

Class: Freshman


Vitals: 6-foot-7, 180 lbs

Statistics (2021-2022): 12.1 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 2.5 apg at Wasatch Academy

Strengths/Weaknesses: Bunch’s best attribute is his shooting ability, a skillset that would seem to complement Benny Williams on the opposite wing. He should help space the floor for guys like Williams, Symir Torrence and Judah Mintz. It’s too soon to tell how well Bunch plays off the dribble in his first season or how well he defends, but he can shoot it at a high level from both the three and mid-range.

Ceiling: Bunch solidifies himself as a starter and knocks down shots to make him a respectable deep threat. He’s able to knock down shots from mid-range and run the floor for transition dunks. Defensively, Bunch proves himself as a quick study within the zone and rebounds it well.

Floor: Bunch provides little else beside his shooting but still proves valuable enough to earn playing time off the bench.

Syracuse Finds An NIL Sugar Daddy (DBR; King)

Once NIL became a reality, there wasn’t much question that eventually an arms race would begin. We saw it to an extent when Kansas State transfer Nijel Pack committed to Miami and got a two-year, $800,000 deal from a Miami booster and a brief but entertaining circus ensued which saw Isaiah Wong’s agent demand an equivalent deal. It’s even funnier when you know that the same agent represents Pack.

Well now Syracuse is getting into the high-end act as booster Adam Weitsman, who is in various upstate New York businesses, is prepared to offer $ 1 million to lure one 5-star football player and one 5-star basketball player to play for the Orange.

To be accurate, he isn’t allowed to induce players to commit to Syracuse. He says they can do whatever they want after they sign, but they’ll need to spend time in New York to fulfill their obligations so signing with Syracuse would be optimal.

This won’t have much of an impact on football because one guy can’t have as big of an impact there.

But basketball?

One guy can change a program.

As this sort of arrangement continues to evolve and the stakes grow higher, eventually we will see schools with prominent billionaire boosters getting involved. Think Phil Knight for Oregon, Mark Cuban for Indiana, possibly Michael Jordan for UNC. Think Tim Cook and Eddie Cue of Apple, both Fuqua grads, for Duke.

Things are still unfolding and bidding wars seem inevitable.
