Yeah Nixon had two more years to play due to a redshirt and covid, but she decided to forego those two years. She had just graduated and was going to enroll to get her masters from A&M in communications, she just didn't want to play basketball anymore. Here's an (lengthy) but in-depth article from herself on the experience

And then an article after it was known she wasn't returning for the 2022-2023 season

I'm a younger Ag and was a grad student there in San Antonio when she hit that buzzer beater! I loved watching her play and was extremely disappointed and hurt when I saw she wasn't gonna play again! I thought her and Janiah Barker would have been a great duo! But after hearing her reason's why, it was clear and obvious she made the best decision for herself! She suffered a lot of personal problems and loss through covid as well as injuries. She was a crazy good basketball player, but even more so an extremely intelligent young lady and she's going to do big things in any field she chooses!! Probably one of my favorite Aggies, regardless of sport!

Tonight we're playing with 5 or 6 fully healthy girls, there are currently 9 former Aggies at the top of my head that are currently playing elsewhere after transferring out. We signed 1 girl last year and picked up only 2 transfers. Recruiting is hard, but apparently so is simple subtraction and addition…

Janiah Barker - UCLA
Sydney Bowles - Florida State
Maliyah Johnson - Ball State
Zaay Green - Alabama
Eriney Kindred - Florida
Mya Petticord - Rutgers
Kay Kay Green - Charlotte
Kylie Marshall - SMU
Tineya Hylton - Cincinnati

Did not transfer elsewhere, but decided to retire and not rejoin the team - Jordan Nixon and Sydnee Roby.

Sydnee Roby was a MEDICAL retirement - I know, because I talked to her

Aw good to know. Hope she's doing well. I always enjoyed watching her play! She could finish well!

Northern Arizona, Colorado State, Southeastern Louisiana, Norfolk State, Wyoming, Stephen F Austin, Northern Iowa, Green Bay, Portland, St John's, Missouri State, UTSA, Seton Hall, Villanova, Southern Florida, Florida Gulf Coast, Grand Canyon, Murray State, Ball State, Belmont, Montana State, James Madison, Middle Tennessee, St Joseph's, Princeton, UNLV, Fairfield, South Dakota State, George Mason, Columbia, Harvard, Richmond, Creighton…

What do these schools have in common. They all currently have a higher NET Ranking in women's basketball than the Texas A&M University Aggies. Surely they must be outspending us in resources, NIL, coaching, and facilities.

dang it, we just got passed by Lehigh, Liberty and Oral Roberts!!! But thankfully we're one spot ahead of Purdue Fort Wayne and 2 whole spots ahead of Lamar
