Created a new thread to keep the portal announcements separate from the landing spots.
Never too soon, although this one is a head scratcher.
On edit - I removed the tweet as the baylorwbb indicator has been removed from her bio, so who knows.

Considering we've seen players in similar situations get a second chance, I'm not sure how this is a bad look at this moment. Players get dismissed or asked to transfer and we never know the true reason. Coach Mulkey brought Morris to LSU after dismissing her at Baylor after she had her issues, which also included criminal charges.
Wouldn't be surprised if Gabby Elliott had some influence here. Whitehorn was a team mate of hers when they were in highschool.

She got in trouble for some type of domestic abuse and was put on probation.
She was warned that she needed to fly straight and narrow both wrt the law and her team/school.
She did something illegal anyway.
Red flags flying everywhere.
Not to mention that the event involved driving after smoking mj , which is dangerous for both her and other drivers.

Fully aware of what happened and why she was dismissed. Again, programs look the other way much more than we're even aware of. The main difference in her case was that her situation was in the news making it easier for people to make judgments.

Vivian Stringer was very open about giving folks second or third chances. So, truthfully - what happened?
- A couple players didn't work out and were dismissed. One caused suspensions for otherwise well behaved teammates. A couple were dismissed mid-season
- A couple players worked out fine. How well behaved they were I have no idea, but they clearly adhered to Viv's rules. And I would note that she once dismissed a freshman recruit either before the season or after a game, saying the player didn't believe in the team's philosophy.
So, in the end, it doesn't seem to be a problem to give a second chance as long as you are on top of it.

This is her 3rd chance. Her 2nd was being allowed back to TN after her 1st offense.
I think 2nd chances are fine. I can be skeptical when a young coach does it, as I think it's more about winning at all costs, and that's not a good sign for the future of the program. I was similarly skeptical of Caldwell's initial discipling here, for the same reason.

While I want to be empathetic, this is now Ruby's 3rd school-she started at Clemson, left and went to Tennessee for the money and then was involved in 3 very public situations, the last led to her dismissal from the team. There were rumors of prior violations not disclosed and that it was school that dismissed her, not Caldwell, but as noted logically by @KnightBridgeAZ Molly better have her eyes wide open and be on top of this to not have it be a black eye for what she is building at ASU. Fingers crossed....
I'm aware of the possession of marijuana and the domestic incident with a rumored girlfriend who would not return Whitehorn's phone and passport. I'm not saying the possession of marijuana charge is nothing but that doesn't necessarily wave red flags for me, especially since she wasn't under the influence while driving. What was the 3rd incident?
