Welcome to National Shrimp Day!
Epicures, chefs, suppliers, associations, restaurants, and others celebrate shrimp today, the most widely eaten crustacean in the United States. As part of the day, videos and recipes are shared, contests are organized, specials are offered, and shrimp are eaten.
There are many species of shrimp. Some large shrimp are known as prawns. Coldwater shrimp, known as pandalid shrimp, are small shrimp found in the ocean waters in the northeast and northwest regions of the United States and Canada. One of these is the Pandalus borealis, a pink-hued shrimp used in chowders, soups, and salads. Warm water shrimp are found in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. These include white, brown, and pink shrimp, as well as hopper, tiger, and banana shrimp. These shrimp vary in size, taste, texture, and cost.
Wild shrimp, classified as either warm water or cold water shrimp, are caught in coastal ocean waters. These shrimp are well regulated, and make up less than ten percent of the shrimp consumed in the United States. Wild shrimp caught on the coasts of the United States are known as domestic shrimp. Farmed shrimp are warm water shrimp that are grown in open and closed pond systems and given formulated feeds. Over ninety percent of the shrimp eaten in the United States are farmed shrimp raised in other parts of the world. Imported shrimp usually means farmed shrimp that come from either Asia or the Pacific and Gulf coasts of Central America and South America.

ACC Football: Ranking the Atlantic teams ahead of 2021 season (saturdayblitz.com; Lloyd)
Lloyd didn't know. It isn't his fault...
Clemson is a perennial title contender, Florida State is a traditional powerhouse with elite recruits and an outstanding football IQ, North Carolina State is coming off of an eight-win showing, and so on. It’s safe to say that the Atlantic half of the ACC has the rest of the country at high risk of being put on notice with their 2021 slate.
But just like with every other college football division in America, some other Atlantic teams are instead enduring down moments at the exact same time, and are subsequently hoping for a sizable rebuild over the span of this current offseason.
With such a sharp contrast between the two main types of teams that make up a league, there is bound to be an evident hierarchy in where each school lies amongst one another, and that is exactly what we are going to look into today.
Here are the ACC Atlantic rankings heading into the 2021 college football season.

Syracuse is no different, and already has several either scheduled or in the works. Here is the latest intel on some top Orange targets.

Locked on Boston College: Traditions At Alumni Stadium (SI; podcast; Black)
We kick off this week in Locked on Boston College with talk about traditions at BC football games. What are some of the best at the stadium. And are there truly traditions to talk about? A recent tweet from a prolific tweeter has "Sweet Caroline" as the best, do we agree? Lots to talk about here.
Second, we look at Earl Grant and his momentum he could build at Boston College. What would need to happen, and how would recruiting need to change in Chestnut Hill?
Also in news, there was a transfer from BC football to talk about, baseball continues to struggle and much more! Listen below.

Clemson football: Current recruiting class behind Rutgers, third in ACC (rubbingtherock.com; Spencer)
for gbo
You might as well take your screenshots and get your laughs in now because it won’t be long before we see a major resurgence from Clemson football in the recruiting rankings.
Now, anyone who has been around the Clemson football program long enough knows that rankings don’t particularly matter.
Of course we all want to see the Tigers land a ton of 5-stars and dominate the nation in terms of talent they’re bringing in, but we also know that Dabo Swinney and his staff are very conservative when it comes to offers and how they go about recruiting. We’ve heard Swinney share how they try to ‘de-recruit’ prospects in some occasions because they want them to be truly committed when they make a decision.
The coaching staff has had to go back to the drawing board and the Tigers have certainly been taking their lumps on the recruiting trail.
In 247 Sports’ latest composite team rankings, Clemson is ranked just No. 25 in the nation. That is behind the likes of Rutgers (No. 9), Florida State (No. 11) and Boston College (No. 16), just to name a few.
Still, as we said earlier, you might as well get a few laughs in now because it’s not as if Clemson is going to stay there.
The Tigers have just four commitments in the 2022 class so far. They’re the highest-ranked class in the nation with just four commitments. The next is North Carolina, who is ranked No. 28.

‘Unfortunately, we can’t land in Syracuse’: Why pilots are finding it harder to land here lately (PS; $; Moriarty)
Landing gear down, seat trays up and locked, Sandy Williamson’s flight from Detroit was about to touch down in Syracuse when, suddenly, it was not.
“We’re coming down, we’re coming down and then all of a sudden, we just went right back up and, swish, it was really fast,” said Williamson. “A few minutes went by and the pilot said, ‘Unfortunately, we can’t land in Syracuse and we don’t know where we’re headed.’ ”
The Delta flight on April 29 wound up diverting to Kennedy Airport in New York City for the night. Williamson, who is from Detroit, said she stayed with her brother in Manhattan for the night, then took a Delta flight the next morning to Syracuse, where she is visiting a friend.
She said many people on the flight from Detroit were upset.
“For a lot of people, it was a huge inconvenience,” she said. “I was bummed.”
The problem? Low clouds and the recent shutdown of Syracuse Hancock International Airport’s main runway for an upgrade.
Such diversions are a rarity at the airport, which has a reputation of staying open no matter the weather, even during the area’s notoriously brutal winters. But they have happened at least three times since the airport’s main runway was shut down April 28.

7. Syracuse Orange
Beginning with the outlier of the group, we have the Syracuse Orange, who are practically a shoo-in to finish dead last in the division. Head coach Dino Babers is somehow still with the program after just coming off of a 1-10 season in 2020, and there is merely no sign of improvement to go off of. To make a long story short, the Orange will stink once again this fall....

2022 NFL Draft Prospects (Yahoo) (RX; HM)
2022 NFL Draft Prospects (Yahoo)
Here are the ACC-related players mentioned in the Yahoo! Sports article "The 25 most intriguing 2022 NFL draft prospects, including 10 QBs":
The Non-QBs:
Notre Dame S Kyle Hamilton
Pegged as a star from the minute he stepped on campus, the 6-foot-4, 218-pound Hamilton made some big plays in both games vs. Clemson last season. He also made some critical stops on key situations (third and fourth downs, fourth quarters, red zone, etc.). The only thing he seems to lack is elite speed, which could keep him closer to the line of scrimmage at the next level.North Carolina State OT Ikem Ekwonu
The 6-4, 325-pound Ekwonu received votes at guard and tackle on the AP’s all-ACC team last season. He has put on nearly 40 pounds over the past few years and is a great run blocker but must tighten up his pass protection to be in the first-round picture in 2022.Miami S Bubba Bolden
We’ve seen some shade thrown his way, and Bolden certainly can become more efficient in coverage and more impactful and consistent overall. The flashes are there, and he has NFL-grade size at 6-3 and over 200 pounds. At the very worst, Bolden will be a big factor on special teams (three career kick blocks) and will add a dose of physicality closer to the line of scrimmage....

That being said, things haven’t gone the way most Clemson football fans (or staff) would’ve hoped so far in this 2022 recruiting cycle
The Tigers lost out in a battle for 5-star QB Ty Simpson with Alabama and then lost out on their top defensive target in 4-star LB Jalon Walker to the Georgia Bulldogs just a couple of weeks later.The coaching staff has had to go back to the drawing board and the Tigers have certainly been taking their lumps on the recruiting trail.
In 247 Sports’ latest composite team rankings, Clemson is ranked just No. 25 in the nation. That is behind the likes of Rutgers (No. 9), Florida State (No. 11) and Boston College (No. 16), just to name a few.
