Iowa State Basketball Secures Commitment From La Salle Guard

After redshirting her first year with the Saint Louis Billikens, Connor played in 18 games during the 2023-24 season. She hit the transfer portal for the first time, landing at La Salle, where her career began to take off.

She started all 62 games that she appeared in with the Explorers, and her performance took a major step in the right direction this past season. Connor put up career-highs across the board, averaging 15.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.0 steals per game.

She made 44.0% of her shot attempts overall and knocked down 35.6% of her 3-point attempts. Her 80.4% from the foul line is also very strong. That performance was good enough to land her on the All-Atlantic 10 Second Team, as she was one of the most productive players in the conference.

Her 27.0% assist rate was the best mark in the A-10, helping buoy an Offensive Box Plus/Minus of 4.3, which was eighth best. Her Defensive Box Plus/Minus of 1.8 was 18th.

Adding a player of this caliber to the roster is a big addition for Iowa State. Connor certainly looks capable of handling a jump in competition, going from the A-10 to the Big 12 for her senior season.

With so many players leaving the program, there will be ample opportunities for playing time to seize. Conner is the second guard to commit to the program after Mya Babbitt, formerly of the Kent State Golden Flashes.

She is the third player overall that the Cyclones have secured a commitment from. The other player is center Gift Ezekiel, formerly of the Florida Gators.
