Gough to transfer...

Texas State sophomore forward Ty Gough is transferring.

The 6-foot, 10-inch sophomore from Pharr, notified Bobcats head coach Doug Davalos he will be leaving the program. Gough started 43 games in his two seasons at Texas State.

"I feel that I'm not going to be very successful in this system we run here," Gough said. "Personally, as a player, I can do better in a different system."

Gough made 25 starts are a freshman, averaging 6.4 points and 5.4 rebounds per game. He set career highs with 19 points and 13 rebounds against Kennesaw State.

After a promising start, Gough regressed in 2008-09, with his averages dropping to 4.8 and 3.9, respectively. Gough, who only started 18 games this season, saw his minutes drop as the season progressed.

Gough will be the third player to leave the program since last season. Tre Nichols and Gordon Taylor quit five games into the 2008-09 season.
