Welcome to International Panic Day!

The word panic is derived from the ancient Greek word Pan. Pan was the Greek god of shepherds, woods, and pastures, and when he would awake from a nap he would let out a yell that caused flocks to stampede. Greek authors coined the word "panikon" from this, which meant "sudden fear". Panic is "a sudden sensation of fear, which is so strong as to dominate or prevent reason or logical thinking, replacing it with an animalistic fight-or-flight reaction." Panic can happen in an individual or it can happen in large groups. It is not healthy for people to be in a constant panic, as stress levels are raised which can be detrimental to health. This day is dedicated to this sensation of panicking.

Syracuse Closes 2024 With Top-25 Class (orangefizz.net; Aitken)

Syracuse basketball has had its 2024 recruiting class solidified for a while. Around the country, most other schools are finalizing their incoming groups. With this cycle coming to a close, the ‘Cuse got some deserved praise, despite having fewer commits than plenty of other teams on the list.

Top-ten prospect Donnie Freeman, a forward out of IMG Academy, verbally committed to the Orange over a year ago. Top-50 prospect Elijah Moore, a guard from New York, picked SU in January of 2023. Both of those players then inked their National Letters of Intent in November, making Syracuse’s two-player recruiting class official.

ESPN just released its final ranking of 2024 recruiting classes, and Syracuse earned the 22nd spot. That ranks fifth out of 17 ACC teams. Duke got the top spot, North Carolina sat in fifth, Miami was ranked ninth, Notre Dame slotted into 19th, then Syracuse at 22nd. Orange fans would also probably want to know Georgetown got ranked at 16th, which might help the Hoyas climb out of the Big East cellar that they’ve been in for a while.

Why Syracuse Basketball's 2024-25 Non-Conference Schedule is a Great Opportunity (youtube; podcast; Locked on Syracuse)

Syracuse Basketball has a relatively challenging non-conference schedule for next season. Adrian Autry's squad will have to face Tennessee in the ACC/SEC Challenge. The Volunteers lost Dalton Knect, but added Chaz Lanier, Darlinstone Dubar, and others. The Orange also play at least one of Texas/Texas Tech and Maryland- three teams close-to or inside the top-25 in college basketball.

Jackson Holzer gives you his takeaways for Syracuse's non conference schedule next season.


Syracuse Basketball Gets a Break in its 2024-25 ACC Schedule | Syracuse Basketball Podcast (youtube; podcast; Locked on Syracuse)

Syracuse Basketball's ACC schedule is manageable next season. Adrian Autry's squad gets to face Duke, North Carolina, and Virginia at home next season. The Orange have to travel to face Cal and Stanford, but neither team projects to make the NCAA Tournament. The Cuse also caught a break with its home and away games next season: Boston College, Notre Dame, and Pitt.

Jackson Holzer gives you his main takeaways for Syracuse's 2024-25 ACC schedule on this edition of the Locked On Syracuse Podcast.

Former Syracuse University basketball player Brandon Reese pokes his head outside the Hoop Bus during the vehicle's celebration of the life of Kobe Bryant in February 2020.Ted Lowney


Former SU basketball player hops off iconic Hoop Bus (PS; $; Ditota)

Brandon Reese has hopped off the Hoop Bus.

Reese, the former Syracuse University basketball player, was involved in the buying, renovating and driving of the original (“OG”) Hoop Bus, which made its debut in 2020 and was featured in a commercial honoring the NBA’s 75th anniversary with Michael B. Jordan as the Hoop Bus driver.

Reese, 34, has made a post-collegiate career out of entrepreneurial enterprises related to basketball and the idea that life should be lived to its fullest. He once bought an old school bus and drove it through South America, detailing his journey in The Bus Driver Experience podcast.

That podcast and Reese’s ability to maneuver large, yellow driving machines caught the attention of Nick Ansom, who came up with the idea in 2019 to buy an old school bus and convert it into a mobile basketball venue.

Reese partnered with Ansom’s group to scour the states for potential school bus candidates. The group bought the first one they looked at.

Reese spent a few weeks tearing out the seats and outfitting the floor with basketball hardwood. The Hoop Bus initially featured a backboard and hoop attached to its rear end. These days, the Hoop Bus fleet has grown to four and backboards festoon the front and back of the buses.

Son of Former Pitt Great Chooses Other ACC School (pittsburghsportsnow.com; Michaelowski)

A familiar name will be playing in the Petersen Events Center over the next few years, but not for Pitt.

RJ Greer, the son of former Pitt guard Ricardo Greer, chose to commit to the NC State Wolfpack over the weekend, choosing Kevin Keatts’ program over Dayton, Penn State, Florida, and more. He visited Pitt years ago and received an offer from the Panthers on August 2, 2022, but did not end up including Jeff Capel’s squad in his top schools list. Pitt has been recruiting other guards in the 2025 class for a while, a list that includes Derek Dixon, Meleek Thomas, and more.

Greer is the No. 100 overall recruit in the 2025 class according to 247 Sports. He is a four-star prospect, and currently plays his high-school ball for Archbishop Alter in Dayton, Ohio.

Greer’s father, Ricardo senior, played four seasons at Pitt from 1997-2001. He averaged 12+ points per game in each of his first two seasons with the Panthers, and took his game to another level as an upperclassmen, posting averages of 18.1 and 16.6 points per game as a junior and senior, respectively.

Greer was a two-time All Big East selection, and was named as the 1999-2000 Big East Most Improved Player as well. He finished his Pitt career with 1,753 points and 888 rebounds. He is now the associate head coach for Dayton Men’s Basketball in the Atlantic 10.

B-29 World War II bomber flies into Syracuse for public tours and rides (PS; $; Moriarty)


A B-29 Superfortress from World War II -- the type of plane that dropped the atomic bombs on Japan -- flew into Syracuse on Monday for public tours and rides.

The bomber, along with a P-51 Mustang fighter and other World War II aircraft, came to Syracuse Hancock International Airport from around the country as part of the Commemorative Air Force’s AirPower History Tour.

The B-29, one of only two in the world still flying, arrived at 11:40 a.m.. It did a pass over the airport and then over downtown Syracuse before landing and parking on the tarmac in front of a hangar at 211 Tuskegee Road on the south side of the airport.

The planes will be available for public tours at the hangar Wednesday through Sunday, June 19-23, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

In addition, the B-29 will provide rides at 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Other aircraft rides will be available each day. A T-6, a PT-13 and an RC-45J will be offering rides all five days. The P-51D Mustang fighter will be available for rides Friday through Sunday.

Clay town board resoundingly rejects concrete plant proposal (PS; $; Doran)

The Clay Town Board on Monday night unanimously rejected a proposal to build a concrete batch plant on Goguen Drive in the town. The vote was 6 to 0.

The applicant’s request for a special permit to build the plant was denied by the board.

Opposition against the proposed concrete plant had been growing for months. The last of three public hearings on the proposed concrete batch plant drew nearly 400 people, some who spoke out against the plan.



Opponents said they were concerned with truck traffic, air quality, noise potentially linked to the plant. They also expressed worry about how close the proposed plant would be to neighborhoods and a town park.

Goguen Drive Realty LLC applied for a special permit to build the plant earlier this year on a six-acre parcel at 7835 Goguen Drive in Clay, which is off Wetzel Road.

Christopher Dambach, one of the developers, has said air quality, noise and traffic studies have all been completed and are all acceptable.



When it comes to testing, modeling and monitoring, “we have gone above and beyond,” he wrote.

That didn’t sway the board, whose findings led to the decision not to allow the plant to be constructed.
