Future Rosters

[GrandpaLee]

A female business owner (Melissa from Hill City) covered the end of Timmer Time well: (to paraphrase her) "...that's what a strong woman does; make hard decisions that meet her self interests..."

Wish her the best, she was a great Jackrabbit.

Honestly, her entering the portal had bothered me more than Hendo leaving.

She was going to be the engine next year, AJ is going to have to work some magic to fill her shoes. Brooklyn is amazing, but can be game planned out of the game in an NCAA tourney setting. Timmer was so versatile, it allowed AJ to match lineups to the scout. This is a huge loss to the wbb.

Math but she wants to do some really specific data science things if I recall correctly. Things you probably need a specific major in at a bigger school. 100% respect if that’s why she’s leaving.

well I hope something like that is correct and yes, she has been here 4 years, and something along those lines would obviously be very valid. the weird thing about that to me is that, dont ya think AJ realized that she was able to and / or planning to graduate? I am sure we all know that he was more than aware. dont you think anyone ever spoke to her about what she was thinking? not from a planning and protecting the program point of view, but from a they clearly care about her and all of the players standpoint. someone surely was checking how they can help her pursue her goals

it never came up that she was gonna go? I REALLY believe AJ and staff and Sell, etc... would have very much wanted her to go through Senior day and get the recognition that she deserves

that is what makes me feel like something must have changed

regardless of any of that. she needs no permission or validation, obviously. It has been a BIG pleasure to watch her!!! sucks we only got to watch her for 3 seasons. wish her nothing but success

I think we should be thanking Haleigh Timmer for four great years as a Jackrabbit. She's a talented young woman who apparently wants to explore other options. SDSU prepared her well for success. I can't really blame Jenna Hopp for wanting to move on, either. She's a good, scrappy player who probably wants more playing time. Best wishes to both of them.

Absolutely this. Although I'll miss TIMMER TIME!

Good interview with AJ today on Calling All Sports. They touch the transfer portal some. Worth a listen I think, even though AJ keeps it somewhat close to the vest.

Thanks for the lead. Here is the link, if anyone is interested.

If she posts an entering the portal tweet like many do, hopefully she will include this if it is the reason for transferring.

SDSU is never going to win NIL bidding wars.

Donor money is better spent on facilities, coaches, and other resources.

I think that's true for some players but not every player. I've heard it said before, maybe it was from a SDSU FB player, that being the highest bidder isn't necessary but something is better than nothing.

I figured I'd be out before I'd ever donate to NIL. After reading Mason and Christensen's bit after all the FB departures I made my first (and to date only) NIL contribution. I intended to make it a monthly thing but have since forgotten about it. I think I will contribute again and more regularly but could also grow tired of it.

Nobody likes it. I'd be tempted to say that those that have large NIL funds like it but there's a train of thought that those schools have been paying players all along and now that everyone can do it, the playing field has been leveled (although the Ohio States of the world just upped the amount of money they were paying). But if we want competitive teams, that's what it's going to take or we're left behind.

We can all complain about it but it does no good. So a person either has to decide that they want bad teams and will cheer them on anyway; give up on being a fan or participate in modern college athletics. No one seems to have any idea on how to get this all under control and it isn't going away.

I personally think that the "have-nots" which really probably includes all but a couple of dozen schools (this isn't necessarily tied to P4 or B1G/SEC because schools like Minnesota really are "have-nots" too) should collectively decide they are no longer participating or offering the so called "revenue" sports (FB and MBB primarily but potentially WBB and mens hockey) until Congress gets this business under control. I think that without a "market' for a kid's talent, the problem will resolve itself very quickly.

Regarding Timmer does anyone know what her major is? There is a very real possibility that she needs to transfer to continue her education. I was acquaintances of several women's basketball players while I was in college and many of them had healthcare type majors. They needed to transfer schools to complete their education after they played 4 years of basketball. I know some even transferred to USD. Haleigh may not want to put her real life on hold to play basketball at SDSU one more year.

If she wouldn't have gotten hurt she would have exhausted her eligibility this year and been done.

This makes the most sense. When the reality is that your playing days are coming to an end, and will eventually move on with life, why stay at a school that doesn't fulfill your educational needs if you can go to another to achieve that end and finish your education with an athletic scholarship and maybe a little pay? The alternative is to stay at stay, take additional classes or obtain an additional degree that you don't need or won't use, and then have to pay to finish the degree you want elsewhere.

I do not find a WBB player Abby Holscher that is on the future roster list from GL

Might that be Abby Hoselton?

Abby Hoselton • Wing • 5-11 • St. Michael, Minnesota • St. Michael - Albertville High School
Abby Hoselton is a senior at St. Michael - Albertville High School in St. Michael, Minnesota.

Hoselton is a two-time all-conference selection and was named honorable mention all-state by the Minnesota Girls Basketball Coaches Association as a junior in 2024. She averaged 11.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.4 steals for her junior season with the Knights. With Hoselton on the team, STMA has participated in the Class AAAA Minnesota State Basketball Tournament the last three seasons, finishing runner-up in 2022 and winning the championship in 2023.

Do we want speculative roster stuff in this thread or a new one? Jocelyn Schiller is a name I'll throw out there. Looks like there may be some interest from iowa state (assistant followed her, & she followed back the assistant and the Cyclone team page). Her most recent follows are on AJ and SDSU women's team (sdsu staff has not recently followed her)
