darrenj Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 He is not an NBA guy. Very surprised if he doesn't head overseas to start making money but offers may not be very good yet for him. Maybe hoping to get enough NIL $$ to play one more season somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Connor Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Since he is still not committed to another university, is there still that slim possibility that he will return to ORU? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that there is a Masters program that is of interest to Connor. He would certainly have free reign in a Springmann offense to show his talents, but think he is interested in showing that he can handle bigger men his size. I hope he is doing some sort of weight training. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oruvoice Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Back to the SEC or similar to ride the pine and average 3 PPG? I mean, I guess. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been guilty of thinking the grass is greener somewhere else but as I get older I have come to realize it usually isn't. Bloom where you are planted. Connor is a good player but not a great player. He may look back and realize he could write his ticket at ORU and in a system that fits his style of play. Unfortunately most D1 basketball players think they will end up in the NBA and most see themselves better than they are. Connor if you read this come back to ORU! 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1ORUFAN Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 More than three-quarters of men's Division I basketball players think they will play professionally, but less than 2 percent make it to the NBA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Connor is a good player, he could get much better with the coaching and dedication needed to play at the next level. At 7'3", height like that can compensate for some lesser skills elsewhere in a player's game. Connor needs time to work through his weaknesses and build on his strengths. Coming back to ORU would provide him the playing time he needs, but it won't give him the opportunity to play against certain players he needs to show he is ready for the next level. I can't imagine that Mizzou would be a great fit for him and his style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keenan Henderson Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I would love for Connor to come back to ORU but Missouri could be a good fit. They play fast and like to trap/press and he could be a rim protector if the press is broken. Plus the Tigers shot a good amount of threes and just lost their 6'8 big to the draft, so it may be a good fit for Plastic Man/Stretchable.

Keenan Henderson Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Connor also signed with an agent but he can still transfer? That is a little different, I thought once a player signed with an agent then they had to turn pro? There must be some loop hole in that rule. I never knew with the changing rules in college basketball. It takes a doctorate in the rules of college basketball to figure it all out! Carlos signed with an agent but maybe he can still come back? He most likely won't but who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
