Jack McCaffery Commits to Butler University Men’s Basketball The McCaffery brothers are flocking to Indianapolis. Jack McCaffery, a four-star prospect in the Class of 2025, has announced his commitment to Butler basketball. He is following his brother Patrick, a graduate transfer for the Bulldogs. Also, oldest brother Connor McCaffery, who dates Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark, works for the Indiana Pacers. Their father is Fran McCaffery, Iowa’s longtime basketball coach. Jack McCaffery, a 6-8 wing from Iowa City West High School, has national recruiting rankings ranging between 73 and 132, depending on the service. He averaged 15.9 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game as a junior.
“Coach Matta and his staff, I think the reason I can trust them is because my brother (Patrick McCaffery) goes there now. He just grad transferred there,” Jack McCaffery told On3. Also, I didn’t have the best spring, and they had the opportunity to drop me like some other schools and they didn’t. This summer when I started to play a lot better, some new schools started to reach out, but I felt like staying loyal to them was the right thing to do. I think they’ve been very honest throughout this whole process.” Jack McCaffery was found guilty of failing to yield to a pedestrian last year in a May 2023 accident that killed a man. He was fined $1,000 and lost his driver’s license for 180 days.
