Butler's talented freshman class breaking up with 2nd player planning to enter transfer portal Butler's basketball freshman, Jack McCaffery, has announced his intention to enter the transfer portal, according to The Field of 68. McCaffery becomes the second member of Butler's freshman class to declare his intent to transfer, following Jamie Kaiser Jr. This announcement comes a day after head coach Thad Matta announced his retirement. The transfer portal will not be open until April 7. McCaffery joined Butler as a four-star recruit, part of the school's most highly regarded recruiting class. The 6-foot-8 forward appeared in only nine games before complications from emergency dental surgery caused him to lose approximately 15 pounds, prompting him to seek a medical redshirt. During his limited playing time, he averaged 2.8 points and 1.6 rebounds in a reserve role.#field_of_68 #butler #jack_mccaffery #thad_matta #transfer_portal
