Those threads linked here have post after post saying "Don't play him".

I don't know what to tell them, do they even play attention?

It wouldn't be as bad if he wasn't a fake tough guy whining about every foul.
Every time a something is called against Iowa, he is the first one off the bench pointing at the refs, just like Daddy. Thank goodness he and JoBo won't be on the roster next season and we won't have to watch their antics.

Think about this. Super senior Connor isn't better than freshman John Lickliter.


(From HR):
Connor has played 300 minutes this year. He's made 5 field goals and is shooting 17.9%. For those wondering, that's 1 field goal made per 60 minutes of game time.....

In 2009-10 John Lickliter played 175 minutes and amassed 12 made field goals. That's 1 field goal made per 15 minutes.

Unfortunately.

Our chances of winning in Carver will go down if they aren’t in the rotation.

Holy crap Lil Lick was easily better.

People do understand that just about anyone in the country could make an entry pass to Garza right? To call that a talent is hilarious. Jesus Miller, you're better than that.
Yeah I commented on a different Hawk thread but that is the dumbest thing for "skill" I've ever heard.

Don't get me wrong, Connor isn't good and I'm totally loving Connor getting trashed on twitter but the reality is, his minutes are more about the other bench guys than him. They have severe deficits as a team in the front court. At times, they have had Connor playing the 4, more or less because the two young bigs and Sandfort are an even bigger liability. It doesn't justify all of is minutes but I think the discussion should be more about how the roster is put together.

They are a big 10 team with a decent recent history, they could have attracted guys in the portal but didn't even really try. They are ok this year, give them a legit p6 big and it's a totally different team, in the tourney for sure. I feel like the Connor is the whipping boy for Fran's failure to catch up with the times and the fact that his seat is so comfy he doesn't have to worry. He's taking the beating for his father and Barta.

How many people in the history of the college game have played his kind of minutes and averaged more fouls thsn points?

This needs to be a thing with a tracker.
Stuart Nezlek his senior year scored 6 points in 9 (nice) minutes of game-play so 0.67 pts per minute.
Connor has 22 points in 296 minutes of game-play for 0.07 pts per minute.

For reference of course.

Iowa is not an attractive destination for guys in the portal though. What desirable player would want to sign up to play for Fran and friends?

I was curious about how McCaffery's season compared historically, so I looked it up. Connor McCaffery is averaging the 10th fewest points per game of anyone who played in at least 15 games and 15 minutes per game since 2009-2010. Second fewest of any high major player. Also looks to have the second worst shooting efficiency of the 10 lowest scoring averages.

Portal when you're 15 deep and rampant nepotism ?
