Rickea Jackson Minutes

[Gwalk]

It was definitely conclusive but okay lets move forward please some may consider what your doing to be "Pot stirring" or "ganging up" on posters with the passive aggressive responses that are not called for . Please move forward you do not care about me in that way thanks.

I would love to see what was conclusive about me making a video that I know nothing about. Please show me the conclusive. Before you go accusing me of something you need to have your facts straight. I would love to see this video you speak of and show me what makes you think it was me.

Close friend…aight?

Ok I made a spelling error, whoopdedoo, I never said we were close friends, you did. I said we knew each other. Are you close friends with everyone you know?

 

[Gwalk]

Make some predictions on which game Jackson will next play in (assuming she remains on the team).

I say January 5, 2023. Mississippi State.

I hope it's way before then and hope she can keep playing.

Ok, I'm out. I came here to offer some insight to what may be happening with Rickea. Saw the thread and thought I would share what I knew about what happened here. Some I did not share because I wasn't 100 percent on a couple details and didn't want to say something that may not be true. I have not, as some of you said "trashed Rickea, in anyway. I really like her and would not spread lies. But on the same hand I will not sugarcoat her behavior at times. It got to be a truly toxic locker room and team. When she was removed the toxicity and drama went away. I really hoped and prayed she would get her head straight and flourish at TN. But when I read what your coach said, and the way she said it, I knew right then what it was about. I really hope this suspension works and she comes back strong and a team player. She is a good kid and can go far if she will act right. I didn't think I would get attacked and accused of things I know nothing about for just trying to give a perspective. That's it , I'm out. Go Lady Vols!! (Except when playing the Dawgs)

What did the coach say that made you think it was Rickea she was talking about ? Unless i missed it I don't think she named names...

I am not attacking you just want your point of view or to see if there was something i missed ?

 

[Gwalk]

She played at Mississippi State. She ain't used to winning either. She hasn't even made it to an NCAA tournament at this stage in her college career.

Not exactly true. We were a high seed in her freshman year then covid came.

I am talking about when she said she was out indefinitely, coaches decision when reporter asked about her.

 

[Lucy]

I feel like TK’s situation may be a moment of clarity for Rikea and Kellie. Rikea’s team needs her.

 

[Raebo]

For Rickea’s sake, I hope the issue (physical, academic, or something else) gets resolved and becomes a minor bump in the past. Of course I hope she comes back and has a very successful basketball season for her sake but I admit that part of my hope for that is because of my own selfish desire to enjoy Tennessee basketball.

Please, can we stop the back and forth bickering/snide comments? If someone says something you don’t agree with, state your disagreement/point once and forget it.

I have become convinced that everyone that posts on this forum (except me of course) has issues and should seek professional help and not watch WBB or post in this forum for a year. Of course, I am still going to watch and read the forum!!!!!!

Appreciate your insight. I remember reading, from Rickea's freshman year, that Vic was sitting her for disciplinary reasons. 4 or 5 weeks ago I talked to a TN team member's AAU coach who said there was a lot of strife on the team, and that Rickea was causing a lot of it. He had spoken to his former player the day before, to try to lift her up after the losses and her struggles.

I hope you will stay around. There are some posters on this board who are hateful to visitors and others who don't agree with them. There are more of us who appreciate the visitors from other schools. Thanks again for the insight you provided. I too hope Rickea can come around and support her team mates and the action will be mutual.

Adios. Have a nice life. BTW, I didn't think that video was created by you but do question your judgement coming to our forum and calling into question one of our players. It's hard to believe you didn't know it would not be well received by some. Anyway, maybe see you on a bulldog forum some day.

 

[Coach Jumper]

A player made a mistake last year, we forgave her and now we have a future LVFL and a pitbull defender.

I don't know what Rickea's infraction is but I do know she was sitting on the bench the next game.
And if the coaching staff is staying with her I am!
100%

It's been several days and if whatever happened were of a grave magnitude, by now it would have been snooped out

There's been drive-by trolls and character assaults against this girl
Some nut on youtube, twitter, etc attacking her

All I want to say is, we just went through a similar situation,,,Eyelashes, hair, lazy were subjected to a player who was giving all she able to give. . . We didn't know TK's situation and people assumed, then attacked. And I am sure it hurt her.

Same with Rickea,,,until you know her story, you don't know her story
Until she's not a Lady Vol...She's is a Lady Vol

"Looking forward to your return Rickea!"

 

[Lurker]

I agree, CJ. And we may never know "her story" and that is okay. We can quibble with the Coach all we want about coaching, etc., but she is the Coach and we need to trust her judgment about her team. If Rickea is restored to playing - something I very much hope for - that's all we need to know, not why she was gone. Coach Harper has this and that is good enough. "Until she's not a Lady Vol...She's is a Lady Vol!"

 

[Prophet1]

If she doesn't play in the Mississippi State game , the way Rickea and mother was going back and forth with the fanbase , then Kellie will have a huge problem. No doubt, Rickea wants revenge .
Satisfaction is a baby kitten with lion's fang , ask Mick Jagger about it.

 

[plumbervol]

Marta has been driving the ball since she got here. I assumed she was doing what Kellie is asking her to do since otherwise would put her on the bench. Could be an execution issue or poor decision making. Unless someone attends practice, I don't know how anyone would know.

Her problem could be a lack of skill set to compete at the SEC level. In her defense she is playing in an area of need down low in the block where she and Puckett both need to play to help this teams need.

 

[Prophet1]

O , take me back to the Parker era , "the stuff that dreams are made of ".

Couldn't have said it better.

 

[VolsBallz]

This reminds me of the movie “Groundhog Day” just from what seems to be going on now and what surrounded this young Lady within her previous program. Such a talent! Sure hope she is able to clear up any issues that are keeping her off the court.

Said she was day to day now and looks to me like she could return by as soon as Wednesday or at least by Stanford. At least she has accepted her punishment for whatever reason and is now working her way back. That is good news.

Great post jump

 

[Majors]

Punishment seems to be getting a little long. How many games was Miles out for alcohol/asleep at the wheel?

 

[loyaladyvolfan]

I said earlier I had a hunch this ordeal was attitude related. While having to read between the lines of what Coach Harper says, it is does indeed appear to be attitude-related with the power is of RK's destiny fully in her own hands. Sounds like she's making progress, which is excellent news. Her quotes give us more insight to this matter than anything that has been publicly revealed thus far.

From Maria's article yesterday on 247Sports:

"Jackson, a 6-2 senior and transfer from Mississippi State, has been on indefinite suspension and missed the last two games. However, while not in uniform, Jackson has been on the bench and engaged with her teammates. Because it is an internal team matter, Harper hasn’t discussed any specifics.

"On Saturday, the head coach said: 'It’s day-to-day at this point as we continue to grow and evolve, you see what each day brings. There’s nothing definite right now. We take each day and make sure we handle each day the way we need to handle it. And we’ll go from there.'

"That would indicate that Jackson has taken positive steps forward and would seem to indicate that she could return in December. A TikTok video posted Saturday showed Jackson in practice gear, and Harper noted that Jackson has handled the situation well.

“'I think she’s doing a really good job,' Harper said. 'I think she’s handled this, and it’s not easy. I get it. I understand. She wants to play, but I think she’s handled it. She continues to do what we’ve asked her to do.'”

Many have said it was attitude related early in the season in the early losses. It was pushed aside as but here we are going on a few games later. I applaud Coach Harper for addressing the situation and hopefully humbling Jackson as the brand was here well before she was born and will be after she’s graduated.

None of us know the reason why she’s being sidelined. Perhaps today, we will have more answers.
