Listen to Conners post game. Really have a ton of respect for that young man.

Gotta give CMac lots of credit. He's been bashed and bashed some more, but as Fran has said, CMac brings tough defense, intelligence, leadership, and now the almost automatic 3 ball. His shooting the last several games has been nothing short of miraculous. That alone deserves a ton of respect. For most of the season he couldn't make anything. Now, it's shocking if he misses, which he doesn't very often.
I've always loved his toughness and hustle. If he decides to come back for one more year, I'd welcome that decision. Either way, he's going to be a major factor in how far this team can go the rest of the season. Congrats to him and his dad for hangin' in there.

Amen. And he is showing his passing skills very well.
Rebraca got packed but the pass Connor threw him was perfect, deep in the hole.

Still doesn’t take away the hurt he’s felt from all the JERKS on this board that piled on him. Same thing when Fran recruited the Murray’s. If you can’t be decent on a post then DON’T. These student athletes deserve our support not criticism. The next time you feel the need for a pointed thoughtless post don’t look like a fool doing it and then turning around and admitting it when a player does good!!!!!
I really think the biggest difference is when he's open he's taking the shot right away and in rhythm rather than essentially being forced to when nobody comes out on him and he's got 5 seconds to think about it.
They kind of left it open in regards to next year, but some comments he made afterwards leaned toward "this is it". That could change over time however, guess we'll find out in about 6 months.
If he comes back, fine. If he doesn't that's fine too. Just doesn't move the needle that much for me one way or the other. Losing Keegan is the killer, but that's the way it goes.
I think it's going to come down to how Riley and Josh develop. This could end up like JBo where the team needs him as insurance. If he can continue to shoot the ball well, I could see him coming back.
This has been a nice redemptive stretch of games for Connor. Best to leave now while everyone can close with good memories.
Even if shoots around 35% from three, it creates a lot of problems for opposing defenses. 5 on 5 basketball is much easier than 4 on 5.
If Connor is going to move on, and I believe he will, I hope McCaffery makes good use of his scholarship and doesn't just award it to someone for their good behavior and team spirit.
