Kiyan Anthony will follow in his famous father’s footsteps.
Kiyan, the son of NBA great Carmelo Anthony and the No. 1-ranked high school player in New York State, committed to Syracuse on Friday night, choosing the school his father famously led to the 2003 NCAA championship in his one-and-done year in college. Carmelo has been a big supporter of his former school and the practice facility there is called the Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center.
Ranked the No. 6 shooting guard nationally by 247Sports.com, he also listed Auburn and USC. He previously considered Rutgers, among other schools.
“I just like the atmosphere [at Syracuse],” he told ZAGSBLOG this summer. “You know, obviously my dad went there 20 something years ago, so I just like the atmosphere, I like the family environment. The coaches, I feel like they’re recruiting me for myself, and not just because of my father. That’s what I like. I just feel like they’re rebuilding, and they’re looking to get a winning team. I feel like I can help them do that if I was to go there.”
