Powerhouse Recruiter Jerise Freeman Joins Oregon Women’s Basketball Team with Contagious Enthusiasm and Exciting Prospects

As a journalist, I rewrote the article as follows:

Jerise Freeman’s appointment as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Oregon women’s basketball team is an exciting development for the program. The Ducks have faced challenges in recent seasons with frequent player transfers and a competitive transfer portal landscape. However, Freeman brings a successful track record in recruiting and coaching at Power 5 programs to her new role, which she hopes will help turn things around for the team.

Freeman joins Oregon after serving in the same position at Utah for several seasons. Her contagious energy and enthusiasm are highly regarded by head coach Kelly Graves, who expressed his excitement about her joining the staff. Freeman herself is thrilled about working with Graves and his staff, describing it as a dream come true. She looks forward to contributing to the program’s success under his leadership.

Freeman hails from Wichita, Kansas and had a successful collegiate playing career at Seward County Community College and Pacific (Calif.). She earned her bachelor’s degree in sociology with a focus on criminal justice from Pacific in 2007. Now, she is eager to begin her new journey with Oregon women’s basketball in Eugene and be an integral part of the program’s growth and achievements.
