But keep it going with another GIF of 80’s humor. And then wonder, why is this thread still going. But chime in about players, parents and other teams and how VN has changed the landscape of message boards as we know it forever.

Agree, presence of RJ on the bench was encouraging. On the other hand, if the infraction is a team rule, why is the suspension indefinite? I would think team rule violations have fixed consequences - miss a class, 2 games, miss curfew, 1 game, etc. Maybe she has to fulfill some make up work before returning, who knows.

Just for the love of Mike, RJ do what you have to do, learn a lesson, rededicate to making it up to your teammates and get the heck back on the court.

What going on. This team has disappointed me.

You think she perhaps needs a medical evaluation.

Something with her diet, or crashing from too much caffeine, etc?

Like a split personality, or difficulty dealing with authority figures, or something?

The poor girl is going to struggle in the big game of life if someone doesn't eventually flush out the root cause.

People on this board probably know far more than I on those type of issues. I hope the vols can help her over the next four months.

Valid points if she was a freshman making an adjustment from Detroit to Knoxville. She’s a 21 year old senior who’s been in college for a few years. She knows what is expected and knows how to navigate being a student athlete.

I think we’ll get the scoop sometimes next summer. I’m banking on The Committee (Twitter sports group) finding out. They interviewed Rickea after committing to Tennessee and asked some questions about her time at Mississippi St, I think they’ll ask all the right questions for us inquisitive people. 😂

I hope whatever it is, it isn’t causing a distraction for the team. It’s quite the talk right now, and rightfully so, that’s a 1st Team All-American sitting on our bench. I have to give it to Kellie though, such a bold move considering how the season is going. I really hope it works out for the best. I feel like I’ve turned into a sideline sports psychologist! 😂😂😂

Still enjoying this rollercoaster season and hope to see some of you all in Dallas! I still have hope! 😩

Kellie is handling it textbook.

"Ride the pine, until you clear your mind."

If I'm coaching, she staying in Knoxville this weekend.

'If you ain't starting, you ain't departing."

Admittedly, my compassion level isn't great.

Yikessssss! Glad you’re not the coach, cause baby Rickea is front row, right next to me, on the way to Palo Alto! Whatever is happening, we’re going to talk about it more on the way! 😂😂😂

Yep, the chest pounding on here is getting old. Rickea is a good kid. This is her first year as a LV and she and Kellie are working through what it means to be a LV. Lord, the drama🙄

It has been building ever since that honey boo boo whine whine routine in the Bahama's.

I'll buy her a bus ticket to Hartford if she thinks Geno will go easier on her.

What is with all the vindictiveness? Did RJ take your lunch $, kick your dog, beat you in a horse game and then taunt you, what? No one knows the why or what of this situation, so why keep hammering away on these "punishment" fantasies?

Did you read that Mississippi State story? Enough is enough. Time to woman-up

No I didn't but she ain't at Mississippi, she is a LV now and should be accorded the respect of any other LV by the fans. Again, you don't know what is going and assuming its a repeat of whatever happened at her former school (according to whoever) is shall we say a questionable call.

I'm at a loss as it comes to RJ playing or not playing. I would have thought this was resolved so why would it come back up? Maybe it's attitude, maybe it's general tardiness? I have no clue.

But I'll tell you this, she's a great player. Efficient on offense, very underrated on defense, we are a much better team when she is available. She's worth CKH playing psychologist and spending the time with her to work through whatever this is.

On the physical side, when she wants to play, no argument here. Fantastic ballplayer! That is why it is so frustrating.

If Emily Saunders had this 'whatever is happening' thing going last year, then we would have mostly been stoically quiet.

Fans only know what we see. We are not talking about Edie Darby, we are talking about a gamechanger #1 portal player in womens basketball portal. Showed signs early of being the athleticism we needed on the court to win and showed signs early of "oh no, that is not good" when we lost. I'm not going to say she's a good kid or a bad kid because as fans we don't truly know unless we have a personal relationship with them. I'm just concerned we are 1/3 into the season and we seem to have an ongoing situation. She's a first year LV but she is a 4 year SEC player, this isn't new to her.
