Caitlin Clark and boyfriend Connor McCaffery are used to being in the limelight. Despite that, the two of them never forget to look out for those closest to them.
The latest example comes from McCaffery, who took time to show some love for his little brother on Instagram.

Connor has reason to be proud of Jack, who is a rising high school player. The 6-foot-8 youngster is a top-100 ranked player in the country for the class of 2025.
His play has seen him receive offers from big school like Virgina Tech and Wake Forest. However, the lure of playing for Butler, where he can play with older brother Patrick and a familiar set of coaches, proved too good of an opportunity to turn down.
Jack is the latest in the McCaffery family to excel in basketball. His father, Fran, has been the head coach of Iowa for more than a decade. Older brother Connor played at Iowa before going into coaching with Butler, while Patrick is now shining at Butler after transferring from Iowa.

The Bulldogs currently sit with a 13-16 record, with their disappointing 6-12 Big East record a big reason why they’ve struggled.
