Bowman: “Yes, well, I think Connor has been pretty open about his thoughts, and I don’t want to speak for him, but I think there really is no secrets. Or there is no longer the story, except that he just takes his time, and we respect that we understand.
I mean, you know, I think he is clearly the best player in the game, and we like to have him here, and he is our captain and our leader. And we are enthusiastic about that, enthusiastic about this season. And I think he just works through things alone, and we understand that a bit, so we will be patient, but he knows we like to have him here, and we want him to stay in Edmondson. That is a kind of process that we are going through now. “
