  • Episode 3 "The Transition" is a continuation of Sam I Am Episode 2 Part 2. Sam Cunliffe was committed to ASU and spent the end of his summer preparing for the 2016/17 NCAA season. This documentary gives an inside view of Sam's journey.
    On December 15th 2016 Sam requested a scholarship release and left ASU after 10 games into his freshman season. This was a personal decision that Sam explains in this documentary and hopes everyone can understand and respect his decision.
    "Some things in life just don't fit you. And when that happens you just have to keep moving" - Sam Cunliffe
    After visiting several schools with major interest in Sam he finally made his decision on Saturday 1/7/17 and chose the Jayhawks over Georgetown and Seattle University.
    Sam Averaged 9.5 pts. & 4.8 rbs per game with ASU. He is planning to enroll at Kansas and get back on track the first semester classes (of the 2017-18 school year) in December. Stay Tuned because God has a plan and the best is yet to come.

    It all makes sense now. As an observer of ASU games, I saw the transfer coming before it even happened. I know he's a freshman, but I saw a lot of bad body language from this kid. It seemed like whenever he didn't get touches or whenever he was taken out of a game, his head hung and he just looked pissed off. I understand he's trying to make it to the NBA, but all I heard in this video was ME, ME, ME. You have to be a team guy in college, especially at a top tier program such as Kansas. Very interested to see how his plays out because the Big 12 is a whole other animal and Bill Self ain't putting up with any of these antics. Hope Sam figures it out.

    • @sammeizys5879
      @sammeizys5879 Před 7 lety

      I met him on a plane ride yesterday and he seemed to have a good attitude on playing for his coach. The only thing he said was that his coach was very intense. But we will see.

  • @berniemac836
    @berniemac836 Před 7 lety +9

    My first thought was he should have stuck out the season and did what he could even playing out of position to help his team but once you take a step back and realize that the kid's window to make the NBA is about 4 years give or take so why shouldn't he be happy and pursue his dream the way he wants. In the end, he only has to answer to himself as to the choices he made so good for him for making a decision quickly and moving in another direction.

    So he left because he wanted to play a certain position? or Wanted more media coverage? I think Harden was the 3rd pick from ASU I don't get it but goodluck at Kansas

    • @vontazebuckshanks6356
      @vontazebuckshanks6356 Před 7 lety +8

      Rampart D. He transferred because he said he was homesick. But I'm pretty sure ASU is closer to Washington than Kansas is.🤔😒

  • @twoquickii1330
    @twoquickii1330 Před 7 lety

    Rock Chalk! Welcome Mr. Cunliffe! It is great that he will get to practice immediately and join the backcourt next year of: Devonte Graham (assuming he stays), Malik Newman, Marcus Garrett, and Legerald Vick! I believe Svi Mykhailiuk turns pro (he tested the combine last year) and Sam takes over his role as a sharpshooting dynamite scorer! Either way, that is a deep backcourt for next season. With Udoka Azubuike returning, Mitch Lightfoot (Sam's friend), Dwight Coleby, and adding PF Billy Preston, KU will be very strong in the paint next year as well! This is a great pickup for Kansas.

    • @Ez_Brzy

    @coachzbasketball Před 7 lety +6

    35% from 2fg and 62% from FT - may want to stop over coaching his shot. Way to many changes at that point in the preseason. I wonder how much the ASU coaches like this kid working with an outside person during their season? IMO, Trainer needs to step away. Let him grow up and figure some stuff out on his own.

    • @vontazebuckshanks6356

    He's an excellent jumper. Very explosive. I think his sister is also like the fastest female sprinter in the world. Pretty crazy.
    I have questions about his mindset. He went to a bunch of different highschools. He transferred at the first sign of adversity. That's not a good sign at all. And he went to Kansas...usually guys transfer because of playing time or shots. He started at ASU. Does he think he's gonna get a bigger role at Kansas??? I hope he's got some good people in his corner who tell him like it is....and not some yes men.

    • @rockchalker9200
      @rockchalker9200 Před 7 lety

      He'll get plenty of minutes at KU. He's got a great skill set and tools. Handles the ball like a savage for a 6'6" guy, very soft shot and accurate from 3. Uber athletic. If he can play D, he can be all-big 12 in 2 years. Self has been playing a 1 in 4-out lineup recently. Sam has skills to play the 3 or a Big 2. He'll be a great asset to KU.

    Kinda lame wasn't winning or playing his way so he bolts. You effect the team with your attitude and play on the court. Bunch of guys play out of position for their team because they're skilled enough to do it and because it helps team win. Similar to how NBA works you fill a role for a team!

      He just made it final, he will be eligible to play for Kansas in the Spring semester of 2018 (1 year from now). I've heard no deep insight of why he is transferring. At the end of that video, he vaguely said something about not "fitting" right at ASU. Who knows? His father stated that Sam wants to be on a team that competes for a National Championship. I don't remember his original offers from recruitment. But I know he had his choice of any Pac-12 school he wanted bascially. It definitely wasn't playing time that he was upset about.

    Kid straight up lacks maturity. 3 high schools in 4 years. Transfer after one semester of college. Grow up. Basketball is a team sport. It's not all about you. He's not going to make it until he actually believe in this and his play reflects it.
