Caitlin Clark’s Star Power: How Connor McCaffery Keeps Her Tied to Butler Basketball
than taking time away from the sport, the Iowa native has been a regular at Butler games, showing up to cheer not only for Connor but also for his younger brother, Jack McCaffery, a recent recruit for the team.
Jack, a 6’8 forward and one of Iowa’s top basketball prospects, recently joined Butler’s roster as part of a nationally ranked recruiting class that includes fellow talents Jackson Keith and Azavier Robinson.
This class, ranked 12th in the nation, marks a milestone for Butler, which previously held its highest ranking at 44th.
Important support
Clark‘s enthusiasm for Butler games has not gone unnoticed. She was present at the season opener against Missouri State and has been frequently spotted in the stands, cheering alongside family and friends, including Connor‘s mother and her friend Tyrese Haliburton along with his girlfriend.
Her support seems to fuel the McCaffery brothers’ performances, with Patrick McCaffery leading as top scorer in the first games of the season.
Jack, known for his shooting accuracy-much like Clark‘s well-regarded three-point skills-now faces the challenge of meeting the high expectations that come with being part of a talented family.
