Jack averaged 9.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game in his freshman season. He shot 44% from the field and 35% from 3-point range. As a result, he is the No. 1 prospect in Iowa.

"He's the last McCaffery boy," said one fan.
There were fans who suggested that he would end up at Iowa, while some of them thought otherwise.
"Guessing he'll end up at Iowa," suggested one fan.
"Wonder why he isn't going to Iowa," said another.
Some fans were impressed with what he had done at such a young age.
"Yeah, and he's the best one," one fan said.
"And he's got Patrick's size and skill with Conner's nastiness," stated another.

Will Jack McCaffery end up at Iowa?
With Jack McCaffery being the son of Iowa men's basketball head coach Fran McCaffery, it was believed he would also start his collegiate journey with the Hawkeyes.
However, in February, after leading Iowa City West to victory in the Class 4A substate semifinal, he was asked about his possible future at Iowa.
"Oh, no, no, no," said Jack McCaffery.
The 6-foot-8 forward was asked why he did not want to join Iowa.
"It was really hard for my brother, and it was really hard for my mom (Margaret). The fans, they were especially tough on Connor, because a lot of people don't understand how he affects a basketball game," he added.
