Meet Caitlin Clark's No. The legendary University of Iowa alum is dating Connor McCaffery, a fellow basketball player and former Hawkeye himself. The couple started dating in April but didn't make their relationship public until four months later when Clark posted a photo with Connor on her Instagram. In January , Connor posted a tribute to Clark on her 22nd birthday. I admire you in every way and I love you. Connor's prediction that there would be "so much more in store" for Clark was right.
In July , Clark penned her own tribute in honor of Connor's 26th birthday. Thankful to have someone as selfless and as loving as you in my life. May this be the year you finally find a way to outshoot me. Love you always," she wrote. After graduating from the University of Iowa in May with bachelor's degrees in finance and political science, Connor landed a job in professional sports as a team assistant for the NBA's Indiana Pacers.
Connor was with the Pacers for one season before joining Butler University's men's basketball coaching staff in September So happy for you," Clark, who plays for the Indiana Fever just down the road from Butler, wrote on Instagram following her boyfriend's big news.
Meanwhile, his mom, Margaret McCaffery, prefers he take a different path β perhaps one aligned with his two degrees to avoid the stresses that could come with a job as a coach.
I don't anticipate it will be way better watching my son. And we'll be there to support him no matter what he does. Connor played basketball for the University of Iowa. He was a four-star recruit, arriving at Iowa in the recruiting class. Connor is the son of Fran McCaffery, head basketball coach at the University of Iowa, who has coached at the school for 14 years.
