Kyle Cuffe Jr. Entering The Transfer Portal

[rhcuse]

Do we really know he was “released “? If not then he could always come back to SU.

Portaling with an agent shows the program he is serious and will have options and they need to increase his bag if they want him back, even if for a relatively small bag — but larger than they otherwise would have offered. It’s just a business now.

 

[Scotch]

Cuffes situation is a whole indictment of the program now. Folks this isn’t gonna be better next year with current leadership. We are just running out the egg timer

Good god this is depressing

 

[kcsu]

Why keep and pay a player that isn't going to contribute.
Focus the money on Donnie and portal kids.
Make an offer to Moore and JJ. But only keep one of them.
If Petar wants to stay let him.
Buy a really good PG
Buy a really good SF
Add a good rebounding 5

Start
Donnie 5
Frosh 4
Portal 3
Moore, JJ, Australia 2
Portal 1

Subs: Frosh Portal 5 Portal 3

Your plan is to start Donnie at the 5 and a Frosh I assume White at the 4? I mean that is one way to get Red out of here next year I guess.

So how about that NIL!?

Why would anyone want to increase a bag for Kyle Cuffe?

He graduated, didn’t he? In these days of portal, he needs to find a location where he can shine with his skills and hopely maiximize his nil potential. wish only the best for him.

Donnie at the five would foul out often. White is not physically ready to bang for lengths of time. He will be able to play in short spurts.

 

[baggerbob]

Would think so. Likely an indication that we’re going to see nearly complete roster turnover.

The problem is still the coach, he needs to show within the first 5 games he has figured out what to do . Bring in the 2 extra coaches so we are fully staffed. And maybe bring in a good defensive and offensive coach.

 

[MGDCuse]

Whew!! I was afraid none of them would leave. Kind of like after your kids graduate college and you just want them to move on so you can make their old bedroom into your workout room/man cave but they just want to stay for a while and play GTA all day. Good luck to him though. Good kid.

Oddly specific.

Michael Scott Donnie at the five would foul out often. White is not physically ready to bang for lengths of time. He will be able to play in short spurts.

It is his opinion. Nothing more. Cuffe leaving is no indictment of the program. To me, that is ridiculous. The kid really couldn't play at this level.

Yes! If you took his name off the jersey and posted just his metrics and bio in the other portal thread people would laugh and say maybe Lemoyne.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Good luck to him. Never questioned the effort. Pretty clear to me he’s just an end of bench player at this level though. Obviously the supporting cast didn’t help.

What I’m curious about is— what level of $ would someone like him be getting? Does every single player get paid?

 

[Orangefan1]

No offense to his dad but Kyle had more than a fair chance to produce here and didn’t rise to the occasion. Peace out

yeah, they get something but I can't see him getting much.

 

[CuseCPT]

I bet we would have won more games this year if Cuffe ran point instead of Carlos.

I will take this bet. Get your delorean

In fact I am reminded of this quote

 

[Nicknack]

I expect everyone to portal and us to start over. I am not looking forward to the rest of this off-season.

Yeah, that should work well for us.

That said, with the mess that we're in, we probably need to just blow it up other than hopefully keeping Donnie. Maybe toss Petar in there too as he shouldn't be expensive and is decent off the bench.

 

[CarlsbergMD]

Thinking the same. I think Cuffe really did want to come back but not once he heard we're bringing in 3-4 other guards in the portal and planning to pay real $'s for them.

It's possible we also lowballed him on his NIL which I think we should do for every returning player except Donnie. Truth stings, Cuffe has been on this team 2 years now and has not moved the needle for us.

I'm fully prepared for him to go to St. John's and be their 6th man...

 

[sweetpea]

Was he good enough to be our 6th man? How would that happen on a top 10 St. John's team next year? JJ would have just a slightly better chance of that happening than Kyle.

 

[Sherman20]

Would think so. Likely an indication that we’re going to see nearly complete roster turnover.

That is not a recipe for success.

He wasn’t even good enough to be the 6th man here… you think he could be the 6th man at St Johns????
