Mosley did not come to Kansas as a point guard but as a shooting guard.
Her specialties have been penetration and creating shots, something that she found difficult to do against Big 12 competition.
"I think she's still trying to
find her niche." Henrickson said before the suspension. "It's just got to be one day at a time, trying to work and fight and get better."
This is not the first time a Kansas player has been suspended this season.
Senior guard Erica Hallman missed two early season games for failing to meet team academic standards. Academics was reportedly not a factor in the Mossev suspension.

PHILADELPHIA -- Villanoa
used the 3 to beat No. 1.
The fourth-ranked Wildcats went 7-for-9 from 3-point range in the second half and beat top-ranked Connecticut 69-64 Monday night, their first victory over a top-ranked team in 10 years.
Ray finished with 25 points, Kyle Lowry added 18 and center Will Sheridan matched his career high with 13 points and had 10 rebounds.
Allan Ray had five 3-pointers in a 22-4 run that gave Villanova (20-2, 10-1 Big East) the lead for good in its ninth straight victory. The Wildcats, who forced the Huskies into 17 turnovers, also got a boost from an unexpected source on offense.
Rudy Gay had 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Huskies (22-2, 9-2), who had an 11-game winning streak snapped and dropped to 7-1 against ranked teams this season.
It seemed most of the 20,859 at the Wachovia Center, the largest crowd to watch a college basketball game in Pennsylvania history, stormed the court to celebrate the Wildcats' first win over a No.1 team since Feb.18, 1995, when they beat Connecticut.
Kansas will next take the court Wednesday night against
Nebraska. The game tips off at 7 p.m. at Allen Fieldhouse.
