Illegal assignment from SObject to Contact
I created a class called DynamicSObjectUpdater that I use to consolidate DML statements in my triggers. Basically you just call the class getSObject and it appends the SObject to a Map called sorToUpdate and then returns the SObject.
In one of my classes, I am calling the Class and its saying the following code is an illegal assignment from SObject to Contact.
Contact conToUpdate = sObjectUpdater.getSObject(con.Id);
I am not sure what I am missing here to make this work.

You need to cast the return value.
Contact conToUpdate = (Contact)sObjectUpdater.getSObject(con.Id);
More generally, you cannot directly assign a value typed at compile time as a superclass (like sObject) to a variable typed as a subclass (Contact is a subclass of sObject). You can perform a cast to tell the compiler that the sObject instance you're getting back from getSObject() is actually a Contact; if at runtime this is not the case (i.e., you get back an Account or something else that isn't a Contact), you will receive an exception.
You might find the implementation of the Unit of Work pattern in fflib interesting as you're building this type of generic/abstracted DML code.
