Coach Hunt on Connor: "Connor is someone who when you plan out what your college career should be, his goes along the script of – if you have a good program and you are a good person – this is what should happen. He developed each year. He came in and was a scout team player as a freshman and sophomore, and then in his junior year his playing time went up a little bit. Now this year, he was in the mix quite a bit and making plays for us. He's someone on the team who has a great personality, brings energy to the team and to practice – the type of kid you want to be around. I know he's going to be successful in whatever he does and he's going to be the center of attention wherever he goes for the right reasons. But I'm really happy to see how much he's progressed as a player. He's contributed quite a lot this year."
