Kyle Cuffe Jr., who spent the last two years with the Kansas men's basketball program, has announced his transfer to Syracuse.
ORANGE BACKCOURT GROWS STRONGER
Cuffe, who prepped at Blair Academy (N.J.), was a four-star recruit in the Class of 2021. He was a redshirt on the 2021-22 Kansas squad that captured the NCAA Championship and saw some action a season ago before an injury cut short his campaign.
CUFFE AT KANSAS
Cuffe opted to redshirt at Kansas in 2020-21, his freshman campaign. He was an active practice participant on the NCAA title time. He competed for playing time as a sophomore and appeared in two early contests but had an injury end his year.
A BLAIR ACADEMY STANDOUT
He was a key member of Coach Joe Mantegna's team at Blair Academy. As a junior, he averaged 16.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals per contest. The Buc's were 24-3 overall, won the 2020 Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) title, and finished second in the State Prep A tournament.
Â
Cuffe's senior season was impacted by CoVID-19. He played in two games, scoring 28 and 22 points, before the campaign was cancelled.
Â
PERSONAL
He is the son of Kyle and Keia Cuffe. Kyle Jr. is a native of New York, N.Y. His father played at St. John's before embarking on a pro career that included stops in the G-League and overseas.
