Bill Self cautions fans to have realistic expectations for transfer guard Sam Cunliffe, who makes his Kansas basketball debut Saturday night at Nebraska.

“I love Sam and want him to contribute. Anybody who believes now he can step in and be more productive than the five guards we have, I think (that) would be a little tough for him,” said Self, KU’s 15th-year coach.

“He’s going to go through some stuff to get comfortable. I’m believing he’ll be a nice asset for us. I’m hopeful he can bring an element of toughness to our team.”

Cunliffe gives No.
