    I know the summer semester is about over and that Fall begins in a few weeks, but another thread pointed out that Lashann hasn't been in any photos on their current trip to Italy. My crude analysis shows she's not in their official group photo:

    And then I went back and looked up one of their practices before the trip:


    And she isn't in there either.

    She's still listed on the roster. Taking time off? Odd as who would pass up a trip to Italy? All this talk about "we'll have one more scholarship to offer in 2018" makes me nervous.

    Ugh. Joe Dallas and I are President and VP of the Lashann Higgs' fan club and I would be very disappointed if Higgs wasn't with the team.

    As I mentioned in another post, Higgs has been seen in a few of the videos with the S&C coach. I would think if she wasn't going to be at Texas for the fall semester, they would have announced it. Maybe she is required to take classes in both summer sessions and was not able to make the trip due to academic priorities.

    Hopefully you're right. I too am a big fan of her. It is just that she [EXPUNGED!!!!!!!!! There was something here, but now there's not. EXPUNGED!!!!!! ] I was hoping Lashann would have her head screwed on right by her Junior year.

    I guess the team wouldn't have an announcement that "Hey, team is going to be having fun in Italy except Lashann whose grades require her to finish up summer school"

    Thanks for the copy. But, this could be true for any of us at any time! ;)
    Gotta remember she's what? 20 years old? Just needs more life experiences.

    VP Luther and racer, I am now worried, but will try to assume there is a good explanation. We would not be the same team without Lashann. I've been hoping for a year where she gets lots of minutes and her unique talent really blossoms.

    Pretty sure the second summer session ended in early August.

    Her twitter account has not tweets about being in Italy; so, doesn't seem like she is there.

    But, as someone else noted, she is on roster. Being Coach Washington's daughter, I'm sure her absence from the team trip has a reasonable explanation. She is Bahamian; not sure if she ever became a US citizen. Perhaps there were travel issues with her passport or something like that. Perhaps she was ill when it was time to take off for Italy.

    Fingers crossed that everything will be fine.

    I don't think there is any reason to be concerned. Higgs was with the team in Austin practicing 5 days ago and, as has been mentioned above, Coach George is on the trip.

    Fran Harris did a Facebook Live feed of the game today. She indeed said that Lashann had passport issues. Good call, @Moooooo

    When @Moooooo mentioned her Bahamian citizenship, it made me wonder if she was a permanent resident trying to become a US citizen because I know they have restrictions about traveling outside the country during the process. For UT, nice it was something benign, not so much for Lashann having to miss the trip.

    The level of difficulty of that move is off the charts. Wish Higgs could have gone to Italy as it would have been a great experience for her on many levels.

    Today I received an email from a parent of one of the UT WBB players, concerned about something stated in a post on this thread. I won’t go into specifics but I just ask that everyone please comply with the first paragraph of the Hornfans Posting Guidelines:

    Please be respectful of your fellow members, as well as the coaches and players.

    This includes rumors or speculation about player status or personal issues that may be sensitive to them and their families. I know that’s vague but just be mindful of what you are posting on a public thread. Players and their families do read them.

    Thanks.
