ATHENS, Ohio – Ohio men's basketball has added App State transfer Dior Conners to the roster, head coach Jeff Boals announced today (April 21). Conners will have one year of eligibility remaining.
"Dior provides our team with an experienced combo guard who is a very good two-way player," Boals said. "He is an elite shot maker and will also be a very good play maker for us. He is an Ohio native that we are excited to add to our roster."

Conners scored in double figures nine times last season, including scoring a career-high 19 points against Sam Houston in November. He also hit a career-high six three-pointers against James Madison on Jan. 18, where he scored 18 points.
