Connor 6th Year?

[ssckelley]

Rumor has it Connor is undecided if he is going to be acknowledged on Senior Night. What is everyone's thoughts?

I'd welcome him coming back for a 6th year, he's like having a coach on the court and on the sideline. I think he has a career in coaching ahead of him.

Something I hadn't even remotely thought of till now. I mean what's CMs major/ goals after college? After the last few games I'd say maybe he should enter some 3pt contests but no seriously I wonder if he will. We'll lose JBo Keegan and who else? Maybe JT? So him staying can't be looked at as a bad thing to me.

I would love to see him return. I am amazed, that in this day and age of “all about me”, Connor, having been taken out of the starting lineup in his senior year, embraced and excelled in a completely different role. That is the very definition of “team player.”

Yes please. He has been great

Yes please. He has been great. like the typical fickle fan, I was too critical of him earlier in the year

A player coach? Absolutely

 

[Motigerhawk]

If he can make one or 2 3s from the top of the key a game, yes. If he gets more then 10 minutes a game? No

Isn't he trying to get his MBA? If he is...he should be done or close to being done. A lot of wear and tear, he is physically beat up, but if he wants to run it back I am all for it.

His value to this team is undeniable. Never seen a player/coach like him. His influence is huge. Almost funny at times watching Fran give him the respect he would any other assistant for his input.

I am just flat out happy for him. The critics early on were just brutal. I heard zero mentions of his willingness to end his career as a second team guy after starting in his junior year. Who does that?

I think Eric May did, to name one example. But it doesn't diminish the scope of what Connor is doing.

Eric May was one of my favorite Hawkeyes.

Connor, J-Bo and Ash will be going through senior day ceremonies tomorrow night. That does not mean he won't come back.

 

[Dadman]

So, even if Jbo goes through the ceremony, he can still come back?

sorry-couldn’t resist……

JBo will be the first collegiate athlete ever to not have to come back for a ten year reunion because he is still playing.

Eric May was one of my favorite Hawkeyes.

And a high school legend as well. He won a state championship by hitting a Sam Dekker type shot (I was at the Kohl that day for Sam and saw it live.)

Would love to see Connor on BTN next year.
Articulate, smart, would be great as color analyst or in studio.

He should become the Offensive Coordinator for his father. Iowa's has had great success this way!!!

I'd be perfectly happy with him being the offensive coordinator for the football team.
