New Graduate Assistant

[mpc4isu7]

Recently, the women's teams Director of Basketball Operations, Michelle Roberts, took a job at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. Coach Fennelly offered who was-to-be this year's men's graduate assistant, Josh Carper, the Dir. of Basketball Op's in the women's program and Josh accepted. The men's team then hired Freddy Owens, who played for Wisconsin, to step in as the new GA. Congrats and welcome to the Cyclone family Freddy!

Anything and everything the staff needs them to do. Practice with players, take notes on film, recruiting letters, etc.

I assume he'll be doing a lot of scouting reports since this has been a staple of Bill's coaching going all the way back to his Davenport days.

Players always talk about how the Twister Sisters have some of the best scouting reports in the nation

Has ties to Curtis Weathers and Stay in the game. Weathers is really good friends with Coach TJ.

Great News for Josh he has been with the men's program for the last five years. So he was on Wayne's Staff and Greg's. He will help that program out alot with their scouting reports.

I don't know, but he was actually a pivotal player on their team. Maybe ESPN got something wrong!:chatterbox:

The other article said he graduated from highschool in 2000 so his last year at Wisconsin was probably 2003-2004.
