Connor Barwin On Senior Day

One of the highlights of senior day was the return of Connor Barwin to Fifth Third Arena. Connor was recognized for his two years as a basketball player, one under Coach Cronin during his first year at UC.   We caught up with Connor and asked him about this special day.
After four years of football and two years of basketball, what was tougher.....going up against Ohio State's Greg Oden on the basketball court or the Oklahoma offensive line on the football field?
We want to thank Connor for taking time to talk to us today.  Connor has been overwhelmed with football questions so we tried to stay away from questions about the combine and mock drafts and give him his day.  Again it says something about this young man that he took the time to  be apart of this.  The fact that his parents also took the time to come in from Chicago to be apart of the day lets you know that the way he has handled him self through out this process is no accident.   Coach Mick Cronin deserves a tremendous amount of credit for recognizing that Connor was a part of the rebuilding process and asked him to be there on Saturday.
