Jack McCaffery

[Ronman]

While waiting for the response to my Garza/Wieskamp vote (which never came), I checked my gmail account and under the "Social" tag, I was notified about a Patrick McCaffery tweet titled, "That boy is a PROBLEM." It was a video of Jack McCaffery, a seventh grader, who looks to be a very talented player. Bigger than most of the kids and has a much sweeter stroke than either of his brothers. You may want to check it out.

Yep. He will play at Iowa assuming Fran is still the HC.

 

[bojihawk44]

Thought I remembered reading/hearing somewhere he would be the best of the bunch. Sign me up for another one

 

[RLMHAWK]

Cripes , what was that video from? Junior high vs 5th graders? One kid barely looked 3 foot tall !

 

[ObeseMuffins]

How tall is he now?

 

[icwesthawk]

Another 22? Yes, but needs to work on his left hand

 

[QChawks]

Cya in six years buddy

 

[Chishawk1425]

He is freaking GOOD. Love our coach producing half our team, pretty cool little pipeline.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Yep. He will play at Iowa assuming Fran is still the HC.

Unless Fran retires or takes another job, he will be.

Lol at the kid at 37 seconds. Looked like a 6 year old trying to play with the big kids.

A little creepy to post this...

That kid was probably a normal sized 7th grader. I'm pretty sure Jack is around 6'3-6'4, that's huge for a 7th grader.

My son played against Patrick in 7th-9th. Pretty sure Patrick was a foot taller every time (he still is).

 

[hawkland14]

This is by far the most skilled McCaffery at this age. Kid will be really really good.

 

[Chishawk1425]

There is a Daughter too I bet she is a baller that Bluder will need to go get.

 

[LUC8]

Impressive highlights and I concur best looking stroke of the McCaffery kids.

 

[hawkeyeguy69]

Jack may start with dad. But I but he ends his Iowa career with his brother Connor as the head coach.

Anyone care for a little wager 7-10 years in the future??

 

[HoustonREDHawk]

Good to see that recruiting Fran's sons is now viewed positively.

Is he really that tall?? Holy cow

Lol. Yeah, I'd take that bet.

The pic I saw of him and Fran from earlier, I think it was taken at the Palestra before the PSU game, it looked like he was nearly as tall as Fran, maybe an inch or two shorter. I would guess at least 6'2, probably taller. I'll post the pic if I can find it, I think it was on Twitter or Insta.

 

[skydog0784]

As many know, Joe W's brother Luke plays on the same AAU team as Jack. He's supposed to be really good too and bleeds Black & Gold as well.

Those two should form a very solid nucleus in years to come.

Steve Bardo has to be excited at the prospect of re-telling his George Jefferson "Weezie" story in the next 6-10 years or so to a new generation of fans.

 

[DutchyFunStar]

I swear the full court pass he throws at the :43 second mark was to lil lick.

 

[RocknRollface]

Shut up.

LOL

Sure, I’ll wager. Under this scenario Connor would be what? 28-29 year old head coach?

 

[Franisdaman]

How tall is he now?

he appears to be 7'0"

 

[wilson reborn]

Kid looks good, but I could be dead by the time he’s in college.

 

[CaboKP]

Give a little credit where it is due...Barta planned this out from the beginning!!

 

[SSG T]

Just some perspective...Lil Lick was the starting PG on a state champion 4A team in HS. IIRC, he averaged 11-12 ppg that year.

I am 6’1”, he’s at least as tall as I am.

She is a junior softball player. Super nice kid but not blessed with the same athletic abilities. Not sure what her softball prospects are but that Liberty team is really good.

I believe she hit the first home run in liberty history.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

She did

 

[Crazy Hawk]

His game reminds me a bit of Doug McDermott.

Let’s hope.

Depends on whether Barta is still the AD or not.

 

[FrankBurns00]

I think he plays AAU with Wieskamp's little brother.

 

[Chishawk1425]

I think he plays AAU with Wieskamp's little brother.

Yes that is my understanding as well. Seems like Weezy Jr is legit too and a diehard Hawk.

 

[DutchyFunStar]

Just some perspective...Lil Lick was the starting PG on a state champion 4A team in HS. IIRC, he averaged 11-12 ppg that year.

And the famous picture of him going for scoop layout with the Purdue guy towering over him in an aggressive shot blocking stance, he made that shot.

[jasonrann]

I read something in the lounge that he's a legit 6'3'' at this point. That's unreal.
