Jack McCaffery commits to Butler.
Four-star forward Jack McCaffery gave a commitment to Butler on Monday. He is the consensus top recruit in Iowa in the class of 2025.
He also has a pretty well-known father in the college basketball world.
Fran McCaffery has been the head coach at Iowa since 2010. He has taken the Hawkeyes to the postseason 11 times including seven trips to the NCAA Tournament. That alone makes the commitment of Jack McCaffery to Butler pretty interesting.
And to top things off, Butler received a commitment this offseason from Patrick McCaffery out of the transfer portal. Yup, Jack and Patrick McCaffery are brothers.
Which therefore makes them both the sons of Fran McCaffery. Crazy!
Patrick McCaffery played the first five years of his collegiate career for his father at Iowa.
Now that we got all that straight…
As for Jack McCaffery, he is the No. 73 overall recruit in the nation according to ESPN.com. According to On3, McCaffery is the No. 100 recruit in the class of 2025.
A 6-foot-8 power forward from West Senior (Iowa City, Iowa), he is an impressive shooter and rebounder who is a solid defender on and off the ball.
He moves well in transition and is a very impressive passer.
