Coach Wardle comments on Connor, and some video highlights - https://twitter.com/BradleyUMBB/stat...19532841295926

"Connor is an extremely productive scoring guard... I love his swagger and toughness on the court, he is not afraid of the big moments. It will be great to see him play in front of his home town fans for his last year." - Brian Wardle

It's so Great to have Bradley show off there Peoria Talent!!! Peoria has had many Great players! I just wish we could keep most of them at home!!! Peoria's Highschool talent alone could make Bradley a perennial sweet 16 team if only we could keep the players home!!! The last time BU made the sweet 16 I believe we had 2 players from Peoria who were very good! M.Sommervill and D.Ruffin !!! I watched the Memphis Game from back in 2006, and I believe the announcers said D.Ruffin was Peoria Bred as well as our best player that year, M.Sommerville!!!! We will need his son to transfer back to BU eventually to have a better shot at a good NCAA run!!! It only makes sense that Peoria players will play great for Bradley!!! Let's see if Connor proves me correct this year!

We also had Metamora’s Danny Adams and Pekin’s Jeremy Crouch on that team who were not Peoria guys but local talent who turned out to be really good players.

That's a great video! I love some of the reactions in the crowd.

After watching Connor sink that winning shot from literally out of bounds, it appears we have a very special player coming back home to peoria! Also noted that we had 4 players from the general peoria area who contributed mightly during BU's successful sweet 16 Run in 2006!!!!
