Class of 2022 shooting guard Kyle Cuffe Jr. has committed to Kansas.
The 6-foot-2, 180-pound shooting guard from Blair Academy (N.J.) and the PSA Cardinals previously committed Saturday to the Jayhawks over St. John’s, Pitt, Georgia, Texas A&M and Kansas State.
“I felt at home,” Cuffe told ZAGSBLOG. “It was a hard choice because I made great relationships with all the coaches involved. I will be bringing toughness, grit, and energy. A player that will never back down. Someone who plays defense and makes open shots.”

According to 247Sports.com, Cuffe is ranked as the No. 11 shooting guard and No. 84 overall prospect in the Class of 2022. Cuffe averaged 13 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists as a sophomore at Blair Academy.
“Kyle is a high-motor player who possesses elite athleticism both vertically and horizontally,” Blair coach Joe Mantegna said. “More than that, he is a tremendous competitor who is about the right things and who puts winning and being a great teammate over all personal motives and statistics. What more could a coach ask for?”
Said PSA Cardinals coach Isaac Green: “When I first met Kyle his competitiveness, unselfishness, and willingness to improve immediately stuck off the page. He comes from a great family and is tough as nails. I’m excited to see him progress as a player and a man.”
