Expect a key starter and two other fringe starters to be suspended due to a failed drug test. Two defensive players and an offensive player.

I think it's Richmond and possibly KMac.

If it's KMac, his father is going to whoop his arse. Reggie doesn't play that shite.

Thanks, the tweet was a bit vague lol.

Not sure how Butch handles suspensions though. He is probably waiting until game week to release that info.

One thing about Lyle, he's not shy about handing out suspensions. It's about the only thing he does right (or wrong, depending on your morals).

McKenzie is not suspended.

This rumor is off the rails.

There is one possible suspension of a contributor and it is being fought by the staff.

Fair enough. This Rocky Top News is pretty adamant they are right so I thought it was confirmed news. I saw in their post I linked to that some were saying it was fake news but they responded and said it was real and they'd recall it once it broke from Butch Jones. Here is the exchange:

No one at practice or media days seemed too concerned.

Sad that you would be excited over UT suspensions.

This situation with Kirkland, McKenzie and Richmond has been out there since spring ball. It is no coincidence that the only people publicizing it are these people like Reeds Ranch and Rocky Top News looking for e-cred. I know for a fact the staff at VQ knew about this all summer and I'm sure 247, IT, etc heard as well but despite all of their flaws they don't just throw shite like this out there when they hear it.

There have been some moving parts on this deal throughout the summer and in to camp and Kirkland and McKenzie were told they would not be suspended for this game a while ago (before Reed "reported it" on his podcast). Richmond has been banged up and they have been very concerned about his availability anyway.

It is possible there could be one suspension from this but McKenzie and Kirkland are not suspended unless Butch has changed his mind since this became public.
