Multiple other national analysts, from On3, Rivals and elsewhere, have echoed Paul's sentiments of late. I don't think it's a lock, because we'll have to see how Kiyan's visits to other finalists go. But yeah, I'd say Syracuse is the favorite.

If it is Syracuse, I hope he commits very soon. Top recruits want to play with other highly regarded players; so with Sadiq and Kiyan on board, it would make the decision easier for those on the fence.

I'm not sure which situation is worse: The old way where some cheater school would drop a bag at the last second or the new way where some rich school can theoretically "buy" a team legally.

Hopefully, the money scenario is out of play here and Kiyan chooses from his heart and brain.

Im pretty sure there’s quiet recruiting going on behind the scenes right now.

I can see myself wearing those Benji's. Not sure my wife would agree.

Have to think a push to cancel visits & commit is item #1 on the agenda here

Correct and then get the next recruit(s). They need him to commit and start getting his friends

Earlier this year, I thought he was limited by natural athleticism but after the last few clips I've seen, I was wrong. He's come a long way and fast. Hope they all cut a cake after dinner tomorrow night!

Melo is giving a master class in brand building. Kiyan doing his part by improving and doing (it appears) all of the right things.

 

[CuseMan4]

Not saying he is definitely committing today. But the chance is higher than 0% chance he does in the next few days. I’ll put it that way

 

[jdubs30]

The video this kid will drop when he commits here will be epic

 

[Hopkins16]

Melo will be in Cuse quite a bit during the season. This will be good for a small forward like Sadiq getting pointers from Melo and for Bell if he is still around.

 

[CuseMan4]

If Freeman has a good season he’s 1 and done.

But man can we dream about Bell, Freeman, Sadiq and possibly Shon running the open court on the wings. With a backcourt of Starling, Moore and Kiyan. Petar and a legit transfer center. Honestly that’s a top 5 team.

The fact that’s even a legit possibility….we are so back.

That’s the UNC model in a nutshell. NIL funds to make it more than enough reasons for the returning guys to come back plus the newcomers and a couple transfers.

Even just with Donnie leaving and then a productive physical smaller school transfer like Jyare and that’s a nice team.

Of course, i want him in Orange but honestly, he needs to for his own interest pick SU. He will be a God on this campus and team. Red will not let Melos kids fail. The community will not let him fail. Hés only going to be here at most two years and regardless of how he does at Ball he will be set for life.

I am 100% sure he is picking SU due to his own interest.

I think that he adores his dad and having seen the success and love that Syracuse has for him and his family has to strike a deep chord. If it doesn't my sense of Melo as a parent and Kyle as his son is terribly off.

And I couldn’t be happier and much older

If Melo was my dad, I’d wanna be like him. Which is to say, Kiyan is making this decision based on what he wants. And I think Syracuse will be a big time benefactor of this.

I love the idea of the coaches going to his house and trying to put this to bed. No more visits. No more waiting. Let’s get this done and start setting the stage for other big recruits to join the class!
