"O state with Bryce," "Syracuse like ur dad": College hoops fans buzz as Carmelo Anthony's son Kiyan narrows down his list to six schools
College basketball fans are getting excited about the future as members of the Class of 2025 are beginning to solidify where they will be playing. One of the stars of the class is Kiyan Anthony, the son of former NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony. He took to his social media channels on Thursday to announce that he is nearing a decision on where he will play in college.
Social media went wild with people responding with where they want to see Kiyan Anthony play.
"You're already wearing red and black, might as well become our Knight in shining Armor," one commenter posted.
"Any team but Cuse... create your own legacy," one person responded.
Others want him to go to Syracuse and follow in the footsteps of his father, Carmelo Anthony.
"Gotta go to cuse out of the 6," one user commented.
"Yes, Melo went to Syracuse. Yes, Kiyan can still build his own legacy at Syracuse.. why ya'll think otherwise?" another poster responded.
While he will not play on a national level this season, fans can continue to get excited about what Kiyan Anthony could bring to their favorite college basketball program in the future.
Could Kiyan Anthony stay nearby for his college basketball career?
One of the more intriguing fits for Kiyan Anthony to begin his college basketball career would be pretty local to where he is playing high school basketball. The Rutgers Scarlet Knights continue to improve their roster with the addition of guard Tyson Acuff.
They also had a significant recruiting class with the Class of 2024 as they have both forward Ace Bailey and guard Dylan Harper, two of the nation's top three incoming freshmen, joining the program. Even if they are one-and-done players with the intention to enter the 2025 NBA draft, this is creating a significant building block for Rutgers to be viewed as a national championship-level program.
If either one stays, they can be a massive 1-2 punch with Kiyan Anthony and help create a massive monster going forward.
