Class of 2025 SG Kiyan Anthony (NY) COMMITTED & SIGNED TO SYRACUSE (11/15/24)

I don’t think it’s a given he’s coming to SU. I would worry about Indiana.

We can worry about Indiana, but I'd place a friendly wager that says he's Cuse.

Did Melo even do that much for that team? Revisionist history to me

Overrated. It was all Jeremy McNeil

 

[Irt4su]

Carmelo have any work around eligibility left. They can do a remake of Back to School

Lala has 15 million instagram followers. Lots of new eyeballs on the Cuse. So far over 59,000 people have liked her post in three plus hours. Lock him up Red.

That Instagram now has over 119,000 likes. All supporting Kiyan. Meanwhile, a post she posted afterwards showing Kim Kardashian has over 400,000 likes. Why am I not surprised. Glad I am not in that Venn diagram.

It’s how it works. Kim is tagged in the post and if you have your account settings in a specific way then it’s also posted on Kim’s account so it doubles the growth and audience of the post.

I can’t imagine someone that’s not from the Midwest wanting to spend any time in Indiana if they have better options.

I’m hoping he’s just being nice to Woodson.

Why would Kiyan ever go to Indiana. There's no way

Mike Woodson is his godfather and basically a family member

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he isn't his godfather. Saw someone say that on Twitter, but they quickly corrected themselves.

Did the world create an outcry for the Palestinians to stop the senseless killing?

A quick google search didn't turn up anything for godfather. However, it appears his godmother is Ciara.

 

[SP_Gilbs]

In a recent article with 247sports Kiyan said Woodson is “like my godfather” I take that to mean they’re really close but Woodson isn’t his actual godfather.

Kiyan is going to play for the Denver Broncos?

I just saw LaLa in an Old Spice commercial. He's definitely Orange.

Man. Melo probably didn’t even know him until like 10 years ago and only played for him for a few years. They’re THAT close?

IU's season just took a hit with their big 5 star frosh center being arrested

Lol. That makes me wonder…
What are the all time greatest SU players in the NCAA tournament? It’s gotta be Melo at #1 (I know he really upped the ante in the Final Four) and John Wallace at #2. Probably Sherm, Rony or DC at #3.

2013 was so defense led and balanced offensively. I remember MCW and Triche killing Indiana’s guards, and Fair being the only one who could score against Michigan.

2016, Gbinije was the guy. Malachi went insane against Virginia but otherwise struggled.

Pace deserves a “bang for your buck” mention in terms of needed production per minutes played. He was great all tourney in 2003.

Triche has the most tournament wins, fwiw.

Wallace in the 1996 tourney was truly spectacular. That Georgia OT win is among the best NCAA tourney games of all time. Sherm had fantastic tourney performances in 1987 and 1989. Rony in 1987. And DC in 1989 and 1990. Hackett and Jim Lee in 1975 (before my time). And Bing when Cuse went to the elite eight in the 1960s.

Gbinije and Lydon both had great NCAA tourney performances in 2016. MCW, Triche and Fair were key in 2013 (plus Southerland’s shooting). As you said, the defense got us there. Wes had that great game against Gonzaga in 2010, but the run ended too early.

He got arrested for not leaving a Taco Bell drive through at 3am when they claimed to be closed. I don’t think anything serious is going to happen from it except the fact that it’s a hilarious story.

Nothing better to do in Indiana! Don’t ever go there, kids!

 

[pwong]

I guess the Taco Bell is suppose to be open 24 hours and it’s poorly managed (workers will close the restaurant for their smoke breaks) lol

Pretty sure if you go back and look both Rony and Wallace put up better stats than Carmelo and did it against better opponents. I'd guess those are 1 and 2. I think Rudy Hackett had a great tournament too, but I'm top young to know that first hand.

Carmelo averaged 20 pts, 10 reb. 3 assists in the tourney.

Played his best in the final four with that incredible Texas game(33 points, 14 rebounds), and then had 20 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists in the title game.
