Syracuse, N.Y. — Former Syracuse men’s basketball player Kyle Cuffe Jr. has committed to play his final season of college basketball next year at Mercer.
Cuffe announced his commitment on Instagram.
Syracuse’s backcourt starters seem set with JJ Starling returning and Naithan George joining the program.
The Orange also brought in multiple guards via the transfer portal and in its high school recruiting class.
The left little room for Cuffe, who played in 30 games last year, averaging 5.1 points and shooting just 33.1 percent from the field.
The Bears went 14-19 (6-12) last season.
A 6-foot-2 guard, Cuffe was a four-star prospect coming out of high school who was ranked the No. 117 prospect in the country in the Class of 2021. He initially signed with Kansas before joining Syracuse two years ago.
