Four star combo guard, highflying by the looks of it.

Reminds me a lot of elijah johnson. stroke looks similar. crazy athletic and just kind of glides across the court. wonder how good he can be as a "point" and not just an athletic scorer

There's a possibility he could stay in the class of 2022 or reclassified to 2021

Re: Welcome Kyle Cuffe Jr
It’s been a while but iirc Elijah’s mix tape had all of one sweet dunk in it.
With this guy, it’s hard to find a highlight that’s not a sweet dunk.

Re: Welcome Kyle Cuffe Jr
Open runs and mixtapes are the two most overrated ways to judge talent. After watching Wiggs mixtape and thinking we were going to get the second coming of Wilt I said never again.
I digress. Nice pick up. That kid is springy and I thought I read some where he is 'only' 6'2. That is impressive. Need some NYC toughness.

Pretty sure you're confusing Elijah with Sherron.

Re: Welcome Kyle Cuffe Jr
love it when a kid just wants to dunk everything
DMac could use a bit more of that mentality

I like the skills. Driving and shooting. Defense will come with Self.

Back before his injuries Big Lodge had springs. In high school at an all star game in L’ville he hit a nasty dunk and flashed something Jayhawks related. I believe that is the dunk you were referencing.

Yeah when I say he reminds me a lot of elijah johnson I mean that as a compliment. EJ was the perfect combo guard recruit. multiyear player with size athleticism and tons of talent
Re: Welcome Kyle Cuffe Jr
That East Bay dunk was probably the highlight of Elijah's basketball career.randylahey wrote: ↑Sun Dec 20, 2020 2:08 pm Yeah when I say he reminds me a lot of elijah johnson I mean that as a compliment.

Oh come on man. EJ was a starter on a team that made it all the way to the title game. and obviously the Iowa st game. Never understood the EJ hate. maybe cause he had the physical tools to be an absolutely dominant college guardjfish26 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 20, 2020 4:44 pmThat East Bay dunk was probably the highlight of Elijah's basketball career.randylahey wrote: ↑Sun Dec 20, 2020 2:08 pm Yeah when I say he reminds me a lot of elijah johnson I mean that as a compliment.

Lot of it has to do with his performance in his final game against Michigan with the nut shot and numerous turnovers.randylahey wrote: ↑Sun Dec 20, 2020 10:02 pmOh come on man.

And he was just a thoroughly average player (obviously in the context of all these guys, even the thoroughly average ones, are remarkably awesome basketball players).
Re: Welcome Kyle Cuffe Jr
I liked focused EJ. The unfocused one was the last one we saw unfortunately.
Re: Welcome Kyle Cuffe Jr
It wasn't just the last game, it was most of his senior year. His MO was turnovers and long guarded threes early in the shot clock.
