Kiyan Anthony could follow in his father's footsteps at Syracuse

There are still six on his list. Six establishments likely to accommodate Kiyan AnthonyCarmelo's son, in the college world: Auburn, Florida State, Ohio State, USC, Rutgers and especially Syracuse.

The last university mentioned is well known in the family, since the father played there for one season (2002-2003), before flying off to the NBA. The future Nuggets winger had averaged 22 points and 10 rebounds there before being drafted in 3rd position.

Led by coach Adrian “Red” Autry, Syracuse has made Kiyan Anthony a priority for 2025. The Orange staff, as they are known, was at his games earlier this month during the evaluation period. And the young man visited the campus with his parents last fall.

He already likes the family environment

I like the atmosphere, obviously, my dad went there about 20 years ago, so I like the atmosphere, the family environment. The coaches, I feel like they recruit me for myself, and not just because of my dad. That's what I like. “, Anthony recently delivered to ZagsBlog.

Already in contact with coach Autry, who calls him regularly to recruit him, he added: “ I feel like they're rebuilding and looking to be a winning team. I feel like I can help them do that if I go out there. »

Anthony is also close to Syracuse recruit Elijah Moore and is teammates with Tyler Jackson, another priority in the 2025 class for the Orange.

In a sign of the interest he's generating, Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton, Ohio State's Jake Diebler and Rutgers' Steve Pikiell were all spotted at Anthony's final game last weekend. He's currently ranked No. 40 in ESPN 100 rankings for the class of 2025.
