Connor is in his second season with the HDI team. Connor graduated from Purdue University in 2021 with a double major in Actuarial Sciences and Applied Statistics and with a minor in Management. He then went on to attend Baylor University, where he was a Graduate Assistant for the Baylor Men’s Basketball program and completed his Master’s degree in Sports Pedagogy in 2023.
During his time at Baylor, Connor was the main source for all things analytics for the Bears coaching staff – specializing in lineup analysis and optimization. He was the mind behind the Baylor “Shark Scores” formula, an analytical tool used by the Bears’ coaching staff post-game to judge players’ effort and intangibles.
Connor was a participant in Sports Business Classroom’s Business of Basketball Immersive Experience at NBA Summer League last year, where his team was awarded for Best Presentation and he was named a Top Performer of the program. This past summer, Connor had the opportunity to return to the program as a member of the SBC staff, where he helped lead the "Scouting, Video, & Analytics" cohort with other analytical experts/NBA personnel.
Connor is thrilled to be contributing to the growth and success of the HDI team.
