We get that but I mean this is an issue EVERY year, no matter what, we always seem to get into this situation. When we are healthy, someone is getting suspended for whatever reason.
It seems like we have defects and suspensions way too much to be honest.

After year one Forthan jumps to pursue modeling?

Next year we lose Baker and Youngblood,
Both were suspended many times!!
Youngblood had to be the biggest joke of an offer for LSU WBB I have ever seen

Ballard continuously got suspended throughout her time here.

Then Amichia jumps ship.

Not to mention Rhodes and Bethel have been suspended a few times.

If you look at the entire picture, its really disturbing. Unacceptable. This picture perfectly describes what is going on with this program.

The problem is she can't recruit shite. When she does, half of them are getting suspended. Then because we are always short of talent and can't compete with anyone on the recruiting trails, we have to rely on transfers her entire tenure here.

These three might've combined to score 20 pts in their college careers so if you're complaining about them being suspending or transferring you're complaining for the hell of it. How exactly is it Caldwell's fault that someone who looked like Forthan decided modeling was a better decision than bigtime basketball?

Understand your rant, but we cant recruit a team full of 'angels' people imply one thing and change ncaa make rules which sometimes coaches dont compky by, coaches make rules to the team and players sometimes get caught up in the moment and dont think. I know your saying too many supensions but reason are genuine, as a team they should all keep each other in check because consequenses affect the whole team, look into the supensions, yes they are messing up tge team but they are also messing up their future!

Exactly not coach fault , players have minds of their own and they make their own choice

Forthan was an ELITE recruit. It isn't her fault she wanted to try modeling. Baker had some talent at least, when she played she showed signs she could be a good player. The issue was she was getting into trouble enough that she rarely could be on the floor.

But in reality, the issue isn't the suspensions. Its our talent level. Losing Ballard literally was a huge blow. The only player that was at an SEC level was Moncrief. Its unfortunate she got injured again, I hope she recovers well

How isn't her fault that she made a clearly out of left field decision? You think Nikki told her to be a model?

Pic presented without comment except to say being a basketball player would probably be wiser.

What are you talking about, she played in 28 games.

You're the one that brought it up.

Clearly Nikki was the problem with her. She's at Art Institute of America or some shite now.
ETA: She's not even there anymore, she's at something called Wayland Baptist now.

Like i said, its their choice, how do you think a coach feels? They have to deal with the situation, no coaches dont always make the right choice shite happens!

How can you transfer somewhere then transfer within a month transfer somewhere else. Is there rules for that?

Haven't seen that before.

One of the better lines ever uttered on the Rant occurred during this fiasco...when word got out that Forthan was going to become a model, and then her picture was posted on here, a Seinfeld fan asked "what is she going to be...a hand model???"
