SUMMARY: The Ole Miss basketball team has been active with team-building and workouts, but new French guard Ilias Kamardine has yet to arrive due to visa and eligibility delays. Coach Chris Beard explained that processing of I-20 forms, necessary for nonimmigrant student status, has been slow following a temporary pause on visa appointments affecting international students. Beard remains optimistic that these issues will be resolved well before the 2026-27 season starts.

SUMMARY: Mississippi State University’s Raspet Flight Research Laboratory has been selected by the U.S. Department of Defense to contribute to DARPA’s Albatross program, aiming to develop energy-efficient autonomous flight systems using environmental energy sources like thermals and wind. The program targets a 75% reduction in energy use for fixed-wing aircraft, significantly surpassing industry norms. Raspet will lead a multi-university collaboration with the University of Texas at El Paso and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, developing novel sensing algorithms and global weather models to enhance dynamic soaring for uncrewed aerial systems. The lab will handle testing, evaluation, and flight safety for Albatross prototypes.
