Connor, a four-star product, according to 247Sports, is from Charlotte, North Carolina, and has made a name for himself throughout the country. Connor attends Combine Academy, and has truly taken over the season for the Goats. Averaging 27.2 ppg this season, the 6-2 combo guard has earned respect from programs across the country.

Averaging 2.6 steals per game, his effort and energy continue to be a huge positive for his resume.
