Connor will have all the intangibles and fundamentals. I also bet he will work his butt off for his dad.
He'll be fine.

How'd Patrick look?
It might take some of the pressure off if he was to walk on at Iowa. That's Fran and his families business though.

I was there last night for both games. Patrick is 2-3 inches taller than Connor. His feet look enormous in terms of length so I wonder if he is going to add a few more inches before he's done growing.
As you can expect from a tall freshman he is very skinny and lacks strength from what I could see. His outside shot form needs some work because it's not as smooth as I expected and starts a little low but I am guessing that's due to strength. He moves pretty well for his size.
I think he is going to be a good prospect for his size alone. Will be interesting to see how he develops over the next 3 years.
Did not play too much last night but was not afraid to shot the rock from 3 in the 4th quarter so that was good to see.

My take was watching Valley was like watching Lick ball. It worked for them but so hard to watch. I thought Connor may have been the 4th best player on the court in the final. Loved the energy that Wali Parks plays with and Devonte Lane is going to make some D1 coach very happy in a couple years.
Great season for West, but that night the better team won. Hopefully Connor and Patrick continue to improve.

....and if we can't do it right with him, we always have his younger brother Patrick right after him. We should have it right by then!! Carry on with the rocks and sticks.

I heard this from someone I've known for almost 35 years and I trust him. My friend works with a guy who is best friends with the Rock Island AAU hoops coach. Connor's team played Rocky over the summer and they couldn't find anyone to guard Conner. He saw everything, couldn't be stopped dribble-drive. I've never seen the kid play, so anyone that has maybe chime in with an honest accounting, but what I heard from my friend matches up with the video I've seen. I think he'll be fine.
