Kansas guard Kyle Cuffe Jr finds new home in Syracuse

Syracuse added another guard to their roster on Thursday via the transfer portal.

Kansas transfer guard Kyle Cuffe Jr has revealed his transfer portal destination. The 6-foot-2 guard told On3 recently that he will be playing the next portion of his career at Syracuse.

Cuffe is the fourth transfer portal commitment for Syracuse this offseason as new head coach Adrian Autry looks to revamp an Orange roster that failed to make the NCAA Tournament last season.

Cauff joins Florida State center Naheem McLeod as well as guards Chance Westry and J.J. Starling who transferred to Syracuse from Auburn and Notre Dame respectively.

A native of Blairstown, New Jersey, Cuffe committed to Kentucky as part of their 2021 recruiting class. He was considered a four-star prospect by 247Sports including the No. 26 shooting guard in the country.

He committed to Kansas over offers from UConn, Georgetown, Georgia, Kansas State, Pittsburgh, Providence, Rutgers, Seton Hall, St. John’s, Texas A&M, and UCLA. Syracuse showed interest in Cuffe during his prep career but never extended an offer.

At Kansas, Cuffe would only see playing time in two games with the Jayhawks. As a true freshman, Cuffe would redshirt. This past season, he appeared in two games in November before tearing his MCL and PCL which kept him out the remainder of the season.

He’ll have three years of eligibility remaining with the Orange.
