  1. We got 3 transfer on the DL, correct? I don't know if all those guys are seniors, but is it safe to assume that they are all one and done? I think at best they are all day 2-3 picks. And in the end, now that I think about it, it probably doesn't have any effect on how many we take this year. I think no matter what we are going to have to sign 3 more through the portal next year. Broughton and Collins will be gone and at the very least we will have to portal for depth.
  2. Israeli forces move deeper into Rafah in night of heavy battle By Nidal Al-Mughrabi May 22, 20247:11 AM CDTUpdated 3 hours ago CAIRO, May 22 (Reuters) - Israeli tanks advanced to the edge of a crowded district in the heart of Rafah on Wednesday during one of the most intense nights of bombardment of the southern Gaza city since Israel launched its offensive there this month. Israel's assault on Rafah on Gaza's southern edge has set hundreds of thousands of people fleeing what had been a refuge for half of the enclave's 2.3 million people. It has also cut off the main access routes for aid into Gaza, drawing international fears of mass casualties and famine. Israel says it has no choice but to attack the city to root out the last battalions of Hamas fighters it believes are sheltering there. Its troops have been slowly moving into the eastern outskirts of Rafah since the start of the month. Residents and militants said tanks had taken up new positions on Wednesday further west than before along the southern border fence with Egypt, and were now stationed on the edge of the Yibna neighbourhood at the centre of Rafah. They had not yet entered the district as fighting had been intense. Hamas's armed wing said it had struck two armoured troop carriers at a gate along the border fence with anti-tank rockets. Palestinian residents said Israeli drones were firing into the Yibna suburb and had opened fire overnight on fishing boats on the beach of Rafah causing some to catch fire. "There has been no stopping of Israeli fire all night, from drones, helicopters, warplanes, and tanks," said one resident of Rafah, asking for his name to be withheld to protect his security. "Tanks made a limited push southeast, still limited but they have advanced under heavy fire all night," he told Reuters via a chat app. There was no immediate word from the Israeli military on Rafah. It said it had killed a number of fighters in targeted operations in Khan Younis just north of Rafah, and in the northern Gaza Strip where its troops have returned in a major operation in an area where they said they had dismantled Hamas months ago. UNRWA, the main United Nations agency in Gaza, estimated as of Monday that more than 800,000 people had fled Rafah since Israel began targeting the city in early May, despite international pleas for restraint. Israel launched its assault on Gaza following a Hamas-led attack on southern Israeli communities on Oct. 7 in which fighters killed 1,200 people and captured more than 250 hostages. Since then, Israel's assault has killed more than 35,000 people, with thousands more feared buried under the rubble, according to Gaza health authorities. The Israeli military said it had killed a person it identified as Ahmed Yasser Alkara and described as a key Hamas operative, along with two other militants, in a strike in Khan Younis. "Alkara took part in the Oct. 7 massacre in communities in southern Israel and was a significant anti-tank missile operative who carried out attacks on IDF troops during the war," said the military statement. The statement also said five other militants were killed and had been operating from inside a school. In the central Gaza Strip town of Zawayda, an Israeli air strike killed seven people in one house, medics said. On Gaza's northern edge in Jabalia, the largest of Gaza's eight historical refugee camps, Israeli forces pressed on with a ground offensive that has carried on in parallel with the Rafah assault for two weeks. Health officials and residents say entire residential districts have been destroyed and dozens of people killed in the operation, in an area where Israel withdrew its forces after claiming to have "dismantled" Hamas in January. Israel says it has had to return to prevent Hamas from re-establishing there.
  3. True, but I have no clue how long that takes. I have no clue how big the city (size not population). I'm sure it is dense populated.
  4. I've invested in a few. Luckily, I only have two kids.
  5. Has Netanyahu given an indication of how much longer he expects it to take to get the remaining hostages and root out the rest of Hamas?
  6. You are correct. naming a few - Josiah Sharma from Folsom, CA. Kevin Wynn, GA. Myron Charles, FL.
  7. I liked the part near the end where people were taking items left on the floor.
  8. Well, technically he didn't tamper with it. He assaulted that bitch.
  9. Wishful thinking - The most likely scenario is that nothing will change - Now, if Khamenei was killed then a revolution would be probable. Unfortunately, usually someone with the guns would win ie a military leader.
  10. All I got out of this is your SIL is a he.
  11. 63% of all smart people are really dumb.
  12. Does anyone have a list of the remaining hostages, their ages, and where they are from? I think there are still American hostages being held and a bunch of hostages from all over the world.
  13. Seriously, what more did you want Scruggs to say?
  14. My brother was purchasing a company and a shareholder took a picture of his house and family and emailed it to him. A friend’s dad was an oil executive living in London. The whole family was taught how to detect a bomb attached to the mailbox. Apparently it was a thing in the UK. They were never attacked but the entire time they were there they had to remain vigilant. A fraternity brother’s dad was an executive of Coke in Mexico. He was kidnapped by the cartel and found cut up into pieces in the trunk of his car. Which of these events would y’all consider a threat? Which would you laugh off and which would you take seriously?
  15. There was a gaming shop that sold drugs and alcohol to the homeless that attracted them to my area of business. So every morning I would have to clean up after them and hope they didn’t try to break in and either call police or EMS to remove the unresponsive ones. I can tell you that it is trespassing as I was asked to make a report each time. The first time they can get off. The second time not so much. That requires the city to drop the charges.
  16. I’d ask him to stay and call the police and have him arrested for trespassing and disturbing the peace and then get him kicked out of school. I’m sure there is something in the code of conduct about harassing and threatening teachers and administrators.
  17. Mozart composed his first piece of published music at age 5, and by his teen years, he had already written several concertos, sonatas, operas and symphonies. Picasso learned how to draw before he could talk. At 12, Pascal independently and without the use of math books discovered nearly all the geometric proofs of Euclid. So why not? I say give Rex and Bolverk a chance.
  18. It seems to me that size and some baseline athleticism provides a pretty high floor. I think the days of guys like Dan Neil are gone with Flood and may be gone in most of college and pro football. Obviously, guys like Neil could succeed in the NFL but they just aren't being recruited because there are so few hits and many, many misses. Scheme plays a role as well.
