Expert Analysis
Miles Masercola | Prep Hoops Scout
Connor is a super gifted and physical forward providing this Team CP3 17u EYBL group with a productive and versatile option in their front-court. For session one, Connor averaged 9.7 Points, 8.3 Rebounds, 1.0 Assists, 1.3 Steals, and 1.0 Blocks per game while shooting 64% from the floor. Connor attacks mismatches in the front-court and finishes around the rim with efficiency, he’s mobile enough to guard perimeter players and strong/athletic enough to hold his own when bigs have a size advantage on him. Connor really struggled from the free throw line, going 1/8 in three games but that is something he can hopefully fix moving forward so he can be his true impactful and aggressive self. Look for Connor to try and improve that touch to take his status to the next level, even right now there’s no doubt he’s a supremely impactful player that produces consistently.

Read EvaluationMichael Roth | Prep Hoops Scout
A strong wing forward prospect who played hard, rebounded and was active in the paint, Connor averaged over nine points and eight rebounds per game this weekend. Not afraid to be physical and throw his body around in the paint, there were a few rebounds Connor secured that were simply because he wanted it more than the opposition. Add in the action that Connor came up with some loose balls and scored at the rim and he made himself useful for his team. If Connor can develop a perimeter shot he could see his recruitment spike from his current offer list of Presbyterian and Coastal Carolina.

Connor has really emerged in NC’s 2027 class as a dynamic physical presence in the Forsyth Country Day front-court. Connor and his team are hosting Charlotte Latin tonight at 6:30 for a berth in the State Championship game. Connor has the ability to attack with his back to the basket or facing up, making him a true mismatch in the front-court. Connor is a strong kid, he embraces contact and has the edge over his matchup in that department far more often than not. Connor is a consistent presence on both backboards and possesses the foundational skill level to be a threat as a jump-shooter and make great plays for his teammates when doubled. Connor’s decision to reclassify to 2027 and transfer to Forsyth Country Day has paid major dividends as he will find himself ranked highly when 2027 drops soon. Connor is a classic high floor forward to monitor closely into the spring/summer, adding some hardware at Forsyth Country Day this week will be a great launching pad for that.

Connor is a mismatch forward that brings a ton of energy and physicality over the course of a game. Forsyth Country Day is 24-2 and have a great blend of returners with new pieces and Connor is the shiny new car in the driveway. He’s consistently flirting with 20 point double doubles, is a real problem to deal with physically, and is able to help this talented group of players execute their offense with efficiency. He’s constantly a threat on both backboards, he possesses the strength and athleticism to guard bigger guys along with the agility and instincts to guard smaller ones. He’s very efficient scoring the ball inside the arc and is someone you can run your offense through if needed with his ability to pass out of double teams. Forsyth Country Day is at this point in time, the clear favorite for the NCISAA 4A Championship with Connor as one of the main reasons why.
