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

[PauliePeppas]

My guess on Indiana - he and Melo are close with Woodson so he doesn't want to string him along or scare off other recruits at his position.

Bingo

 

[albanycuse]

I didn't mean to invite insane takes on taxes, but we all live and learn.

I'm excited that all indications are that Kiyan is leaning towards Syracuse. He's a big recruit in a few different ways.

Melo at Syracuse games with his NBA buddies with him at some games will be good publicity for the team and the cool place to be. And at the same time wont be negative in some peoples eyes like when Adam brought celebrities with him to games. We will have the 6th man on the bench and the 7th man(Melo) in the crowd.

 

[cali315phan]

When’s he deciding?

he already decided.

 

[Cheriehoop]

I don’t get confident about any recruit. I had no idea what colleges my own kids would choose. One of 3 chose my alma mater.

 

[qdawgg]

He’s technically down to 5 schools. One of them isn’t really a university.


* Please move to Rutgers thread on football board if mods feel the need.

 

[djorange1989]

When’s he deciding?

he is deciding(to go to SU) right before his senior season per Kiyan, his last season before going to Syracuse

Wrong. The lifetime exemption covers all gifts*, up to and including gifts made at your death through your estate and/ via testamentary substitutes.
It is a cumulative total.
That is why you will see probably see a flurry of gifts the next year or so, because the exclusion will be reset to between $6,000,000 -$7,000,000.00 on January 1, 2026.
* Gifts at or below the annual exclusion, currently $18,000.00, do not reduce your lifetime exemption.

Note: All gifts to spouses are exempt from gift or estate taxes.

Wut? You said Melo could gift Kyan $13+mm this year…not at death

With White already committed and actively recruiting for us: if we get Kiyan and Jackson, we get buzz, talent, eyeballs and the whole thing becomes more self-perpetuating.

Hip Reference Alert: In the words of Steve Allen's hit song, ♫This Could Be the Start of Something Big!♫

A reference only SWC75 could love.

Whoa whoa whoa...hold up on Jackson until Lewis decides.

While we’re on the subject of gifts, fitting that Rutgers made the top six.

Rutgers has the #2 and #3 2024 kid playing on their team this fall. Let's not laugh at Rutgers yet.

 

[Irt4su]

He was quoted here surprisingly that Rutgers is showing him the most love. Kid we’ve loved you before anyone met you.

Rutgers remains in the race for the son of an NBA great.

This is coming from the guy who had a Kentucky hat on the table on his own decision day.

 

[kcsu]

He will always be Melos kid.

Why would he do this? Come on. Amateur hour.

I’m not saying this bc he’s Melo’s kid, I actually think he’s going to end up higher for his final ranking.

They have to get him in a situation where he’s playing with a legit lead guard though.

How could anyone at Indiana think he was a lock?

 

[RM32]

How could anyone at Indiana think he was a lock?

Because of Melos relationship with Woodson

 

[Nicknack]

How could anyone at Indiana think he was a lock?

Yeah, wondering the same thing. Also like the comment that they must be going after bigger fish - like it's Indiana's desire not to have Kiyan rather than being his choice. It's amazing how some people rationalize things.

 

[djorange1989]

How could anyone at Indiana think he was a lock?

Only idiots thought that. My brother went to IU grad school, at first he was excited about possibly getting Kiyan because of the Woodson connection but the last few months he said most IU insiders were saying they had no shot.

Because of Melos relationship with Woodson

That might give me hope, but it sure wouldn’t make me think that they are a lock.
