Ken Griffin on the single factor he looks for when hiring at Citadel:

"show me an athlete who did well academically."

"an athlete because they know what it takes to win and they've had to experience loss."

talent is everywhere. what's rare is someone who knows how to lose, recover, and still perform at a high level.

same thing separates profitable traders from everyone else.

@GatorsChris @FloridaBBHour @CoachToddGolden Great article. One question is you say not one of that front court trio has sniffed the transfer portal, but didn’t Chenyelu transfer to UF from Wash St?

@GatorsScott What was the penalty?

[InAllKindsOfWeather.com @AllKindsWeather]

Just a kid from Pennsylvania. A kid who bled 🔶🔷 from infancy and yet who no one wanted. A kid who spent countless hours in his uncle’s barn practicing just in case he got a chance.

Then he got that chance.

He grew up idolizing Tim Tebow, and now an entire generation of young #Gators fans will grow up idolizing him.

Thanks for everything, @ThomasHaugh4. See you in the NBA. Go make millions. #InAllKindsOfWeather

@DelavonRaff @theiaincameron Of course there’s a horse track on the little swath of land that’s in Kentucky…

This also flooded real bad last April.

@ralphDrussoATH @petitus25 How does tournament and CFP payouts impact revenue sharing with the players? Assume that the NCAA or participating schools will have to follow the professional model of including payouts to the players in some sort of pro rata structure based on wins and payouts received?

[Branson Smith @BransonSmith]

⁦@AndyStaples⁩ I don’t understand the bracket in your CFP prediction article this morning. You have IU at #1 in the rankings but #2 in the bracket and then you have ND at #9 and #10

@delatorre Just go get real backwood Texas BBQ somewhere in between, then head to CS and post up at Dixie Chicken.

[Branson Smith @BransonSmith]

@JohnDBrice1 @FootballScoop @NCAA What about limiting the number of transfers?

[Branson Smith @BransonSmith]

@darrenrovell @Lafavreus Sold out on Lafavre, but as of 12:50pm ET they're still available from the official Florida store managed by Fanatics... https://t.co/HgCYqq3VhR

This is by far my favorite video of Charlie Kirk and it should be required for everyone in America to see

[Nick Freitas @NickJFreitas]

I am told that as a state representative this is the moment where I'm supposed to express my heartfelt condolences and then stand in solidarity with those on the other side of the aisle as we condemn political violence and stand unified as one people.

But we aren't "one people" are we?

The truth is we haven't been for some time now, and there is really no point in pretending anymore, if there ever was.

We are two very different peoples. We may occupy the same piece of geography, but that is where the similarities seem to abruptly end.

I convinced myself for a long time that whenever the left called me a racist, a bigot, a sexist, a fascist, a "threat to democracy" for even the most innocent of disagreements, that it was simply hyperbolic rhetoric done for effect.

And now the "effect" is a widow and two orphaned children, because the left couldn’t bear the thought of a peaceful man debating them and winning.

I don’t think they realize it yet, but murdering Charlie is going to be remembered as the day where we finally woke up to what this fight really is.

It’s not a civil dispute among fellow countrymen. It’s a war between diametrically opposed worldviews which cannot peacefully coexist with one another. One side will win, and one side will lose.

Charlie tried to win that fight through argumentation, through discussion, through peaceful resolution of differences.

And the other side murdered him.

Not because he was “extreme” or “inciting violence” or any other hyperbolic slur they hurled at him. They murdered him because he was effective. Because he was unafraid. Because he inspired others and made them feel like they had a voice, that they were not alone. And he did it at the very institutions which have fomented so much hatred toward conservatives.

I don’t want to “stand in solidarity” with the other side of the aisle. I want to defeat you. I want to defeat the godless ideology that kills babies in the womb, sterilizes confused children, turns our cities into cesspools of degeneracy and lawlessness…and that murdered Charlie Kirk.

Social media is aflame right now with leftist celebration of Charlie’s death.

I wonder if any among them understand what has just happened. If there is a Yamamoto somewhere in their midst warning, that all they have done is awoken a sleeping giant.

I doubt it. I think they gave up such introspection and self-awareness long ago.

I don’t know exactly what will happen next. I just know that it won’t be the same as what has happened in the past.

There will be thoughts and prayers…Charlie would have wanted prayers. Not for himself but for those left behind and for the country that he loved.

But then there will be a reckoning.

My Christian faith requires me to love my enemies and pray for those who curse me. It does not require me to stand idly by in the midst of savagery and barbarism...quite the opposite.

So every time I feel tired, every time I feel discouraged or overwhelmed, I am going to watch the video of a good man being murdered in Utah…I will force myself to watch it…and then I will return to the work of destroying the evil ideology responsible for that and so much more.

Rest with God Charlie, your fight is over.

Ours is just beginning.

@FloridaBBHour Who’s in the orange suit? Looks like it could be Sylbrin Robinson or Brent Wright?
