Conner also shared a graphic with him wearing a Flyers jersey that said “Coming Home.”

The junior guard played the last two seasons at Marshall University. He entered the transfer portal at the beginning of the month.

Conner averaged 6.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.8 assists for the Thundering Herd last season, according to ESPN.
