Welcome to National S'Mores Day!
It’s National S’mores Day! S'mores are a delicious treat made from three simple ingredients—graham crackers, toasted marshmallows, and melted chocolate bars. Yum!
The first official s'mores recipe was published in the Girl Scout Handbook in 1927, but culinary historians believe that the tradition began much earlier. Over the years, the recipe was passed from camper to camper and eventually became the most famous fireside dessert. Ever wondered why it is called a s’more? Because you’ll always want "some more" of this decadent sweet!
Today, grab a few friends, make a campfire, and have some s’mores. No bonfire? No problem! You can toast marshmallows in a toaster oven or a microwave. Happy National S'mores Day!

Weekend Recruiting Roundup: Kevin Huerter Leaves Door Open for SU Basketball (thejuice; Cheng)
Let’s start with the class of 2016 and guard Kevin Huerter. The Daily Gazette’s Michael Kelly caught up with Huerter to discuss his recruitment, and something interesting came up as it relates to Syracuse. As you all probably know by now, theOrange only offered Huerter as a 2017 recruit, requiring that he spend a year at prep school before suiting up for SU. Huerter seemingly declined that offer last week, saying he wouldn’t visit Syracuse, and instead said he would set up visits only with 2016 schools. Huerter softened that language when he discussed this with Kelly. “If I go to a school and fall in love,” Huerter said, “and they say there’s only room for me in 2017, then it’s a possibility I’d do it.”
Moving forward into the class of 2017, Trevon Duval visited UCLA last week and chatted with At their request, this network is being blocked from this site.’s Jason Scheer about it. Syracuse is among a crowded field vying for Duval, who says he has offers from around the country. “Arizona recently offered me and California, UCLA, Oregon, and UNLV are all recruiting me also,” Duval said.
We’ll conclude basketball with a look ahead to 2018 with point guard ImmanuelQuickley. At their request, this network is being blocked from this site.’s Brian Snow catches up with Quickley and the Baltimore product is already drawing some interest from high majors. Among the schools in touch with him include Washington, Cincinnati, South Florida, south Carolina, Wake Forest, Duke and Syracuse. Quickley also mentions that he’s received an offer from the Bearcats.

Villeurbanne Signs Darryl Watkins to Replace Ahmad Nivins (eurosport.fr)
Villeurbanne said Monday it has hired Darryl Watkins for a season. Aged 30 years, the American pivot (2.11 m), who played last season in Chalons-Reims, was recruited by Asvel to offset the absence of Ahmad Nivins which must be done shortly operate the left knee after an injury late last season.
Watkins, out of Syracuse University in 2007, rose notably by China, Lebanon and Belgium. He was crowned champion of Cyprus in 2012 with the Etha Nicosia and champion of Bulgaria in 2013 with Sofia. He also played 14 games with the NBA Sacramento Kings (2007-2008) and the Hornets in New Orleans (2011-2012).
Watkins is the sixth rookie Villeurbanne club after his compatriot Jerrell Devonte Newbill (Penn State University) and Charles Kahudi French (Le Mans), Nicolas Lang (Paris-Levallois), Edouard Choquet (Provence Basket / Pro B) and Stéphane Gombauld ( Federal / National Centre 1).
34 Stars, 12 Slots: Is Carmelo Still Right for Team USA? (nypost.com; Berman)
The elusive Carmelo Anthony heads to Las Vegas this week as a three-time U.S. Olympian with two gold medals and a reputation as a player with perfect style for international competition.
Although Team USA CEO Jerry Colangelo acknowledges that, he will not say whether Anthony is a favorite to make the 2016 Olympic Team that will defend its two straight gold medals in Rio de Janeiro next August.
Anthony, late in his knee-surgery rehab, will join 33 other Olympic hopefuls in a four-day minicamp that begins with a team meeting Monday night, followed by two days of practice before it concludes Thursday with an instrasquad scrimmage.
“I think that’s where I draw the line,” Colangelo told The Post regarding predictions. “He’s been a terrific basketball contributor. I think his participation has helped in his career. Melo’s game has been a perfect fit for international play because of his versatility.”
But Anthony is 31, coming off surgery to repair a torn patellar tendon, hasn’t been named All-NBA for two straight seasons and is competing against the deepest collection of Olympic candidates Colangelo has seen. However, if Anthony has the sterling season the Knicks need, it will be hard to keep him off his fourth straight Olympic squad, especially with his former Syracuse coach, Jim Boeheim, on the staff.
“Any competition, there’s turnover,” Colangelo said. “Players have to buy into that. People already trying to select the 12 for next summer, that’s pretty presumptuous. We have a whole year of NBA basketball in front of us and a lot of things can happen — injuries, contracts, someone coming out of nowhere. They all have an impact.”
