McCaffery commits to Iowa

What was already a foregone conclusion became official on Saturday night as Iowa City West guard Connor McCaffery verbally committed to the University of Iowa.

The news was announced by his AAU team, the Iowa Barnstormers, via their twitter account.

2017 PG Connor McCaffery of IC West has decided to end his recruiting, committing to play for his father at the U. of Iowa. Congrats Connor!- Iowa Barnstormers (@IA_Barnstormers) August 31, 2014

McCaffery, the son of Iowa Head Coach Fran McCaffery, is a Class of 2017 prospect who was ranked by ESPN.com this summer as a Top 25 prospect in his class. Earlier this summer Connor McCaffery indicated to HawkeyeReport.com that he held an offer from his father. At the time, it was very clear that he would be committing to the Hawkeyes eventually and play for his father.

Last season, the 6-foot-5 guard started for Iowa City West and helped them capture their third straight state title. He averaged 6.1 points and a team high five assists per game.

With McCaffery on board, the Hawkeyes now have three commitments in the Class of 2015 with Ahmad Wagner, Brandon Hutton, and Andrew Fleming, one commitment in 2016 witth in-state standout forward Cordell Pemsl, and one in 2017 with McCaffery.
