Does Iowa go after him or is he bound to play with Dad?

There is a higher percent chance BFz comes back.

NO! Not McCollum's type of player.

No thanks. Don’t need UIHC’s mental health resources overwhelmed.

AGREE!

If I had to guess, I would think he’ll go to Penn.

Exactly….

If I had to guess, I would think he’ll go to Penn.

There or if Connor lands a job at another school besides Penn would be the 2nd most logical guess. I think he got a red shirt this year. Was in street clothes most of year but played in a couple games early on kind of like Koch last season.

I know Jack a little. He is a great kid. Very talented and probably the best bb player in the family. He will do well wherever he goes and I would anticipate he will land at Penn. However if Connor lands somewhere he might go there, too.

Those McCaffery kids sure know how to extend their time in college indefinitely. How many 4 star recruits in history have missed an entire season and redshirted due to a "dental issue." WTF could that even mean? Even if he had all of his teeth pulled at the same time he'd only be out a week.

Connor played 6 years before it was trendy to do so. I think he fake played baseball as a backup with a .200 batting average.

Patrick redshirted twice as well, due to "mental health issues" and being unable to keep on weight?

You'd think Jack would take this opportunity to do what only .01% of applicants get to do, go get an Ivy League education. Meanwhile he'd be playing at a level that meets his skill set and helping his dad build a program.

If Ben wants him, why not?

JM ain't comin' to Iowa . . . for about a billion reasons. Near the top would be that Iowa doesn't need or want him.

 

[BigDonkey]

The McCaffery family would kick him out of the family if he came to Iowa. I think the whole family is butt hurt over Fran being shown the door.

Cheap shot at Hokks by USA TODAY College Sports Wire, IMHO. Fran McCaffery has been Penn's coach the past year and has them in the Dance. He has more of a Quakers ID than he does Iowa. He was glad to be out of Iowa City and many of us (thankfully) waved good-bye.

USA Today doesn’t have talented enough writers to accomplish a “cheap shot”.

USA Today is trash and has been a long time

Why didn't they list Matta as former Ohio State head coach? Same (non) logic applies there.

So he needs to play for a relative

Written for dolts. Color pictures & large print. Simple words.

He'll just get "indoctrinated" out there.

At least that's what my FIL says whenever somebody has the opportunity to attend an Ivy League school.

 

[Hawkangler]

He won't

 

[o_jedn]

Is Ben’s son who is on scholarship at Iowa better than the McCaffrey boys, just asking for a friends friend?

 

[Hawklove]

Unless he is really great, I hope he doesn’t play for his father. The fans tend to be tough on coaches’s kids.

Maybe he could do well with TJ in the frontcourt.

This is my take as well. I liked Fran but we all know why it was time for a change.

 

[TweeterHawk]

It’s the McCaffery way.

 

[Anon1751457816]

Makes me a little that things ended the way they did with the framily.

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

I like Jack. Hope he does well at what I would guess is Penn.

 

[Anon1750875978]

Not trying to be snarky, but doesn't he have to stay outside this State's borders for his off the court stuff?

No. What they threw at him charge wise was minimal. However would not be shocked if family goes after them civilly.

Let’s wait to bash Ben until he starts overplaying his son like Fran played Cmac and Pmac. He hasn’t played a minute yet.

 

[o_jedn]

But does he deserve a scholarship at a Big10 school? Would he be on scholorship if papa wasn’t the head coach? Legitimate questions.

 

[Hawkeye54545]

We let them have Jack for the rest of his college career we take TJ Power for his last year. Seems like a fair trade.

No.
