Can a player come back with eligibility if they enter the supplmental draft and don’t get picked?

I don’t expect he’s drafted. And I don’t think anyone would touch him on the collegiate level. He may have played his last snap of meaningful football.

As someone who commuted from Hammond to BR for 15 years I would strongly recommend against the Covington-to-BR hike. Of course I worked downtown, but 12 becomes a nightmare by the time you reach Denham. It’s been a few years since I commuted that way, so maybe others can tell you if it’s any better and what Airline looks like during commute hours.

Work schedule matters, but my M-F 9-to-5 commute from/to Hammond was closer to 3 hours/day, and God forbid you get behind an accident.

My advice is to find an area of Ascension you like best and move there. My brother and his family live in Geismar and sent his oldest to Dutchtown. The other two went to St. Michael’s, but I don’t think it was because of any bad experiences at DT.

Swing reminds me of Jobert.

Megan Metcalf, the victim's mother, talked about raising two energetic, loving souls. "Now I only have videos and memories of his laugh," she told Anthony. She talked about the morning of the track meet. She said she packed her son a snack and gave him a hug without knowing it would be the last time she'd ever feel his arms around her. "You may have been given a sentence of 35 years. You should feel lucky. I've been sentenced to a lifetime without my son," she said.

IMO the prosecutor should have had AM’s mother, aunt and brother speak during the sentencing phase, not after the sentence was rendered. I think that may have resulted in a longer sentence being passed down. A 35 year sentence that could end up being 17, resulting in an early-30s KA being released from prison, does NOT fit the crime.

I think KA is weak-minded and is unlikely to be able to serve a good-behavior sentence for 17 years. I expect he’ll serve 35 but think 50 would have been more appropriate.

So is this 35 max?! No 35 to life?!

No we don't know. We don't know what possessed him to carry a knife. We don't know why AM decided to put his hands on KA. I guess KA's alleged "touch me and find out" was enough of a challenge for AM's 17 y.o. brain -- the same AM who said he didn't want to fight at a track meet.

I’m jumping into this thread awfully late. So perhaps it’s been said. But this comment reminds me of something I learned in concealed carry training.

If you are the aggressor or if you become an aggressor you lose your claim to self defense. You have to meet aggression with calmness and attempt to de-escalate or just plain walk away. Once you react aggressively, whether it’s screaming or pushing/shoving, you’d better keep the pistol in its holster. Or you could end up in jail for a long time.

For a lot of guys taking the high road is tough to do - I get it. I can imagine a good number of 17 year old boys would find that real hard to do. BUT… based on KA’s actions and reactions as reported he had 2 choices as I see it to avoid the situation he’s in now: 1) walk away, go find his team, or 2) resist with fists - fight like a man. If he truly felt his physical well-being was threatened, which I doubt, his best option was to walk away. Period. As either the initial aggressor or as the aggressor responding to the initial aggressor, he had to let go of that knife.

I don’t necessarily believe he woke up, put a knife in his backpack and thought “I’m going to kill somebody today.” But I do think that whenever it was that he put that knife in his backpack he did so with the conscious thought that he is going to do whatever he wants, and anyone who gets in his way and “disrespects” him will get stuck.

He believed incorrectly that he was justified stabbing someone if they just touched him, regardless of his actions leading up to it. And why wouldn’t he? Look at all of the thugs outside the courthouse who clearly exist in a culture that believes that and teaches that - you respond to disrespect with a gun or a knife. No questions asked. THAT’S what makes you a man.

It’s fricked up, and it won’t change in any of our lifetimes. Just have to watch your back, keep your head on a swivel, and be ready to walk away and swallow your “pride” in front of people you care about. And if you think you can do that, learn how to shoot a pistol, take time to train, and never leave home without it.

Hampton to UK… Damnit

I haven’t looked that far into it, but that’s something to consider, thanks. I may just bring it to a watch repair shop and see what they can do with it. I’ve got plenty of other watches, so I’m not sure I have the energy to bother with it.
