My money's on DaMonte if they meet up in the parking lot at Pizza Hut.

Great coaching job, no doubt. Having said that, nothing beats what Kruger did with the '98 team. Don't forget, the '84 team had 2 burger boys in BD and Efrem
Is Jack a nickname? I don't think Fran has a son with that name.

His son Jonathon goes by Jack.
Jack McCaffery, the youngest son of Fran McCaffery, ranked No. 51 in 247Sports initial 2025 rankings
The youngest McCaffery is one of the top prospects nationally in 2025.

Some conflicting reports that make the situation confusing. A couple of news reports state that Jack was the pedestrian that died. Some say he was the driver. No definitive statements given by authorities on a rather tragic story that has national interest. Either way it is sad and tragic.
His youngest son I believe. Highly ranked HS player.https://247sports.com/player/jack-mccaffery-46117754/
Imo I'm not the biggest fan of not going for Paul. They are really rolling the dice with that-They feel Ty, DGL, Sincere, TSJ, etc can play pg by committee. The passing should be improved with some of the guys we brought in, but it's all about if the pg play can be decent enough. That will be the difference this year between being just in the top 25 or a top 10-15 team in the country.
They really like Reeves, but it won't be easy to land him. Think we have a pretty decent shot though

Grew up in Robinson many moons ago. Know that gym well. Didn't play basketball, but had plenty of gym classes there.
And going off this, the hope is that Williams will be ready to go by the start of the year. He has three years left, so they risk anything. Think he plays a good amount though
So I guess that does it then. All our eggs now in the hopefully Williams is healthy enough to play. That seems really wishful to me. Can't imagine CoHawk or TSJ is taking this well.
Put me in the skeptical side that this “point guard by committee” thing is going to work.
Guess we will see though.

You don’t know Jack?
Imo terrible move by staff to not go after Paul. Fits what we need way more than Reeves.
Horrible situation, but given the age of McCaffery and the time of day, highly unlikely alcohol was involved. We had a guy in my hometown killed after being hit by a car a decade or so ago. He was out for a jog on a country road, and at certain times of day, the glare from the sun makes it very difficult to see. Just a plain old accident, but doesn't make the consequences any less impactful.This article states it was an Iowa National Guardsmen that was out jogging when he was hit.

Not getting involved with Mulcahy lol absolute comedy of errors this offseason concerning the pg position. Hope there are opportunities down the line because depending on Williams to be healthy and pull major minutes at pg feels like another 9-seed type of season.
It's the sign that Rodgers is going to get a whole lot of time at PG. Not anyone's fault, but the predictions of the PG position, going back to April, have been abysmal. I think that we're at 4 and counting guys were we getting gifs
I'm beating a dead horse at this point, but I have no idea what the staff is doing with this roster construction. People are kind of ignoring that we have no open scholarships. Sure we will make room, but that doesn't change the fact that they put together a roster that doesn't work and needs to be fixed.
We are currently worse at the PG position than we were last year, in my opinion. If that's not the #1 concern for the staff, then they must know something I don't know.
100000% agree. If we truly aren't going after him and it's our choice(vs him declining)....that makes no sense. He checks all the boxes of what we need.
Not this again.
Sounds like the staff's decision (not JW or high-level boosters). Any early idea how JW and those boosters are reacting to this? Temp on BU's seat seems to continue to rise if I'm reading the tea leaves correctly from what you and other insiders have said.
No, not really. Just what I've heard from Jersey people.
