When Carson Williams came to Western Kentucky from Northern Kentucky, he had to sit out the 2018-19 season to satisfy NCAA transfer rules.
The now-redshirt senior forward worked on his game, and ended up being one of the most impactful Hilltoppers on last season’s 20-10 team by starting 29 games and averaging 14 points and 6.6 rebounds.
Now, Williams is seeing the same type of thing from Kenny Cooper.
“We were both in the same situation, sitting out a year. I had a lot of things I needed to work on, expanding my game. I used the whole year to kind of work on that, work on my outside shooting and things I hadn’t done in the past,” Williams said Tuesday.
