Welcome to International Left-Handers Day!
International Left-Handers Day celebrates the uniqueness of being left-handed and raises awareness about the inconveniences that those who are left-handed deal with, in a world where ninety percent of people are right-handed. Many tools and objects are designed for right-handed people, and hundreds of millions of left-handers must adapt. Not only are the disadvantages that left-handers face highlighted on the day, but any advantages that they have are also celebrated.
Of the ten percent of people who are left-handed, more are men than women. Many recent presidents have also been left-handed, including Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. Those who are left-handed haven't always risen to such heights of power. Throughout history, left-handed people were considered inferior and were often associated with witchcraft. In Christianity, left is associated with evil, and at the last Judgement, those who are sent to the left are damned. Even a left-handed compliment has a negative connotation, as it is an unflattering compliment.
Nonetheless, today is a positive day for those who are left-handed. The day is celebrated worldwide, with events such as left-handed versus right-handed sporting matches, and gatherings at which right-handed people are encouraged to use left-handed implements to see how hard they are to operate. The day was first celebrated in 1976 and was created by a man named Dean R. Campbell, through an organization he founded, Left-handers International. It was then re-declared in 1992 by the Left-Handers Day Club in an attempt to make it more official.

Syracuse basketball’s new data-driven approach to recruiting, the portal and NIL (podcast) (PS; podcast; Syracuse Orange)
Alex Kline and Eugene Tuliyagijja, a former NBA scout and a current student manager, are helping Syracuse basketball coach Adrian Autry and his staff take the guesswork out of recruiting, player development and NIL decisions.
Kline, 30, recently joined the SU basketball program as its first general manager. A Syracuse graduate, Kline spent the last eight years as a scout in the NBA for the New Orleans Pelicans and the New York Knicks.
Tuliyagijja, a native of Thailand, is a senior at Syracuse who has spent the last three years as a student manager for the Orange. But last season, Tuliyagijja, who is majoring in sports analytics in SU’s Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics, showed some of his work with data analysis to SU assistant Brenden Straughn and was soon presenting his research to the entire staff.
Now Kline and Tuliyagijja (pronounced Toon-ya-kid-juh) are working together as informational resources for Autry and his assistants.
In an appearance on the “Inside Syracuse Basketball” podcast, Kline and Tuliyagijja explained how their work will help Autry and his staff, especially in terms of scouting and determining how to allocate the program’s NIL budget.

Syracuse Basketball: Jon Rothstein forecasts 'Cuse as middle-of-the-pack in the ACC (itlh; Adler)
College basketball insider Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports has published his off-season report for the Atlantic Coast Conference, and he's got a few mentions of Syracuse basketball in his breakdown.
For a bit of context, a season ago, the Orange finished at 20-12 overall, winning 20 regular-season games for the first time in a decade. First-year head coach Adrian Autry did a solid job after replacing the Hall of Famer Jim Boeheim, as Autry led the program to the No. 7 seed in this past spring's ACC Tournament after Syracuse basketball was projected to finish at No. 10 in the league race.
It's true that, in the 2023-24 campaign, the 'Cuse missed the NCAA Tournament for the third term in a row. But Autry and his team also faced a tough non-conference slate, the roster was primarily filled with sophomores, and the Orange's line-up had to contend with several unfortunate injuries and other issues.

This off-season, Syracuse basketball saw seven 2023-24 players hit the transfer portal, while sophomore point guard Judah Mintz left the Hill to pursue a pro career. Conversely, five 2023-24 guys are returning, and the 'Cuse 2024 class includes two high school seniors and four college transfers who are all rated four stars by at least one recruiting service.
When I wrote this article on Monday evening, the Orange's 2024 recruiting class checked in at No. 10 around the country, per the industry-generated On3 Industry Ranking. At this juncture, ahead of 2024-25, Syracuse basketball currently has 11 scholarship players, with two scholarships still remaining.
