High School Star Hits Transfer Portal After Sparse 2025-26 at EIU
6-0 combo guard Kam O'Connor, a Lebanon, OH native with elite high school pedigree (14.4 PPG, 4.3 APG, 4.1 RPG, program-record 3s as senior, twice All-City/Conference/Region), struggled in limited 2025-26 action at Eastern Illinois (1.5 PPG, 1.0 RPG, 0.5 APG, 20% FG on scant minutes) before entering the portal April 2025. His sharpshooting and playmaking upside shine for teams needing bench spark and development potential—perfect G-League or low-major fit if he bulks up and refines efficiency.
