MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Chase Connor, the former two-time scoring leader in the state’s high school ranks who played sparingly during two walk-on seasons at West Virginia, plans to transfer.
A source within the program said Connor would have been welcomed back but the guard didn’t see a likelihood of earning more playing time next season. West Virginia returns 10 of its top 12 players and recently restocked at shooting guard by signing Teyvon Myers, the nation’s top junior college scorer.
Connor played in 23 games this past season for the Mountaineers and averaged 2.1 points in 5.
