Cuffe, who is a highly touted player, had offers from other top Division I hoops programs such as UCLA, Georgia, Pittsburg, UCONN, St. John’s, Seton Hall, Iona, Hofstra, Holly Cross, Manhattan, among others. 

Cuffe Jr., who plays AAU ball for the PSA Cardinals, is a fantastic defensive player who uses his athletic ability to transition it into offense and get to the hoop. 

The No. 82 overall high school prospect in the 2022 Top 150 class, Cuffe Jr. dropped in 113 points and grabbed nine boards in eight tilts played for the Blair Academy Bucs last season. 

Cuffe Jr.’s dad, Kyle Cuffe Sr., played for the Red Storm basketball program from 2001-04 and averaged 11.2 and 7.2 rebounds per game while in Queens, New York City. 

The Jayhawks posted a 28-3 overall record and went 17-1 in Big 12 conference action in the 2019-20 campaign.
