Don't think Winkler is all business though. He lives with three roommates who were also former LCC basketball players in a house near the University of Oregon campus. He says it's a lot like a mini-fraternity. He describes the life on weekends, "I get caught up on homework and then I just like to relax, kickback and watch movies. Combined we have like over 600 DVDs. It's never boring there."
After his tenure at LCC is over, Winkler will be looking to transfer as most students do. "My older sister and roommates go to UO and they have a great business school there." Ultimately he would like to continue his basketball career at a Division 1A school like Oregon but understands his odds at such a high competitive level. Winkler shrugged, "I have no problem trying for a walk-on role; I've got nothing to lose."
Winkler will get to see his first action for the Titans starting Nov. 16 when LCC hosts the Tip-Off Tournament.
