Future Rosters

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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..."

Maybe she didn't want all the trappings? Distraction going into the post season? Nothing wrong with an Irish goodbye

This feels like what a grad transfer should be - a player moving to a school that offers an advanced degree that the original school doesn’t offer. I find it very hard to find fault in that. If not for her injury, she would have been done this spring. At least now she will get at least some of her MBA paid for. I wish Haleigh nothing but the best!

I'm glad she decided to make a statement. It should calm down anyone who was upset that she was leaving.

Absolutely. She has been a class act while at SDSU and I will always be a Timmer fan. As long as she doesn’t end up in red! This is what scholarships are all about. Helping young people achieve their dreams. She is in the process of doing exactly that and if it takes a transfer to do that, I could never hold her back and wish her nothing but the best.

This is a huge opportunity for some younger girls on the roster to show their abilities and AJ will get them ready!

And gives them a chance to work the portal. We have lost 6 players and have 3 incoming freshmen, so there are spots available.
