Kiyan Anthony, a fast-rising 2025 four-star shooting guard from New York City, received a scholarship offer from Syracuse basketball coaches last November, and he says that offer from his dad’s alma mater is still a “shock” and “surreal” to him.
The 6-foot-5 Anthony, who has seen his stock surge this spring on the AAU circuit playing at a high level for the Baltimore-based Team Melo in Nike’s EYBL league, said in a recent podcast interview with Light It Up Sports that he will take an official visit to the Orange at some point.
That being said, while his dad is Syracuse basketball legend and recently retired NBA star Carmelo Anthony, it’s no guarantee that Kiyan Anthony will follow in his father’s footsteps and don a ‘Cuse uniform down the line.
