Tennessee senior guard Ruby Whitehorn rejoined the Lady Vols after serving a suspension following an arrest in August.
Second-year Tennessee head coach Kim Caldwell discussed her as the Lady Vols tipped off basketball practices in preparation for the 2025-26 season.

“She is back with the team,” Caldwell said of Whitehorn. “She joined the team early September, I think September 8, that week, after a lengthy suspension. It’s not an ideal situation. It’s not a situation that reflects our program the way we want it to. There’s a strong legacy here and it did not withhold the name of the brand.
“It’s not something that helped us at all in recruiting. It’s something that we have addressed. We’ve addressed it seriously, and we’re hoping that we can now move on and put our next foot forward.”
Caldwell also said there are not any limitations for her second-year guard.
“Right now, she’s full go,” Caldwell said. “She’s kind of served that time, so today, she’ll be full go.”
