COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Women’s Basketball added transfer Haley Troup to the program, head coach Robin Pingeton announced Wednesday. Troup joins the Tigers after originally signing with South Carolina and will sit out the 2017-18 campaign due to NCAA transfer rules. She has four years of eligibility remaining.

Troup is a 5-foot-10 guard from Gadsden, Ala., who racked up 2,284 career points, 1,235 career rebounds and 842 career assists in her illustrious career at Gadsden High School. She poured in 19.4 points and grabbed seven rebounds per game in 2016-17. The standout senior campaign earned her Alabama Super All-State First Team recognition.

As a junior, Troup averaged 17.9 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists and claimed a spot in the Alabama North/South All-Star Game in July of 2016. She was the Gadsden Messenger Co-Player of the Year and was named a finalist for Alabama Sports Writers Association Class 7A Player of the Year.

Troup garnered Alabama Sports Writers Class 7A First Team honors in 2016. By the end of her junior season, she was already in her school’s 1,000-point club as well as the 1,000-rebound club.

Troup joins a host of talented newcomers joining Pingeton’s program this fall, including redshirt junior Lauren Aldridge and freshmen Elle Brown, Nadia Green, Emmanuelle Tahane and Kelsey Winfrey. Mizzou opens the 2017-18 season Nov. 10 vs. Western Kentucky at the Hawkeye Challenge in Iowa City, Iowa. The Tigers’ home slate launches Nov. 16 against Wright State at Mizzou Arena.
