Should the "B" in but be capitilized?
“We don’t know yet,” Neil said, “but we sure could use you here.”

No, the "b" is correctly lowercase, as it is the continuation of a sentence that has not ended.

You are inserting "Neil said" into the sentence--you would only need to capitalize your "B" if it were the start of a new sentence.

It is lower case. Get a copy of Strunk & White "the elements of style".

Do not use caps on the "b".
