Mallory Heyer announces she's leaving Gophers program

[BleedGopher]

Go Gophers!!

Wow. Wonder why so late? This seems really odd.

I swear we can never have a year without drama or injuries. Another setback. We just can’t ever get over the hump. Wonder if she lost her starting spot.
Big time loss.

Grad transfer means she can transfer. Wonder if she can be eligible semester two. Gonna guess there aren’t enough minutes to go around with injured players back and growth of others.

It’s seems like a tough look though.

Wonder if Coach P was going with more scoring in McKinney or Cristian. I hate to lose her rebounding.
I’m hoping it’s because we have a lot of development happening and minutes were few. Maybe she didn’t play much at the scrimmage and saw the writing on the wall? Still seems odd.

St. Thomas?

 

[Gopher Ally]

Nice, right before the season starts. Only explanation is minutes were gonna be considerably less

 

[DietCokeFan]

Also wonder if Tonga was providing even more of a problem with minutes.

I could still see 10-12 trying to find minutes, all depends on freshman.

Sad to see her go. Plus rebounder and efficient from 2. Streaky from 3. Even if she lost her starting spot, as seems likely, the Gophers’ prospects are better with her, than without her.

 

[GringaGopher]

She listed the dreaded “ personal reasons “.
She has another year of eligibility but not until next season ? I was looking forward to having our consistent line up this season. She will be missed and I wish her well.

Agreed sad to see her go as she enters transfer portal. She was a good Gophers player. Wish her well with her future team just hope it is outside of Big 10.

Ouch, terrible time to lose anyone. We know depth of team is very important. Competed hard for 3 years and tough to see this. Could want the ability of another year(with $ only going up) to land a big NIL deal elsewhere? Sounds like will enroll in spring to start MBA. Garzon left Indiana to go to Maryland so in today's game...ya never know.

Heartbreaking-one of my favorite players. Blue collar worker who did a little of everything and great at rebounding. Good Luck to you Mallory and thanks for being a Gopher
