Mercedes is there and not playing. Jannah is there and not playing. But Jasmine didn't get to make the trip. I'm worried about her. Last year Ariel was at the SEC tournament even though she had had a concussion. Any of you know what is going on with Jasmine Jones and why she isn't with her team in Little Rock?

She didn't make the trip because of an internal team issue. She is fine, the team is fine. She will be with the team for the NCAAs.

Holly took care of the situation.

The way you put it doesn't sound to good. What I got is it's a conflict between her and her teammates. Is this what caused her to miss senior night

Where is Jenna Tucker? What has happened to her? Is she still going to play?

Tucker will be fine and will play with the LVs from what I understand. She had some very unfortunate things happen to her. She was abused by a boyfriend before she came to UT and she had a knee injury as well. She's a fabulous player and I am sure that she will be a big plus for the LVs. There is information about her on the UT sports website.

Yep, not saying anymore. Someone asked where she was and I said. No one needs to know the reasons.

You mean others on this board don't need to know.
If you had just stuck with "She will be with the team for the NCAAs." that probably would have ended it. But you couldn't leave it at that. You had to state that there was a "situation" and that Holly took care of an "internal team issue." You just had to let it be known that you had inside info that the rest of us are not privileged to. Like a 3rd grader saying "I know something you don't know."

Jannah Tucker is a soon to be 20 year old freshman. Jannah reminds me somewhat of William Faulkner's Emily Grierson, a recluse, a mysterious figure who changes from a vibrant and hopeful girl to a seemingly cloistered and secretive woman.

I really do appreciate the literary analogy. I am a Faulkner fan. But let's also remember that situations from a distance can look quite different from what is actually going on Tucker's life and team relationships. It may be that things are 90% a-okay but she hits some periodic bumps in the road. We should not underestimate the difficulty of recovering from both a major physical injury and an emotional one.

I also give you props for an active imagination, but I don’t think that is the situation with this young lady at all.

I am still thinking we'll see her become a medical scholarship player. I am hoping she can get healthy this summer will be two years since the injury. If your not 100 percent you will never be.

This is an unfortunate situation for Tucker, because it was anticipated that she would be a contributor this year. If it is just mental that can be an issue with teammates, especially when your top player goes down. With all that said, it is unfair to Tucker to speculate why she is not with the team or to give an air of impropriety when one may not exist.
