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

[Sherman20]

Almost committed to USC on the spot on his visit a month ago... Man would that have been a disaster.

Huh?

Huh?

Kiyan said that on the podcast.

This talk of who's coming to the games reminds me of a certain fan who used to attend

“15 is retired,’’ Kiyan Anthony said. “I’m not gonna take that away from my dad.’’

Good thinking because Carmelo wasn’t going to let his son wear his No. 15 anyway.

“He ain’t getting it, he ain’t getting it,’’ Carmelo said with a laugh.

Kiyan said he would go with a number other than the No. 3 he currently wears while playing for Long Island Lutheran High School.

Instead of 15, Kiyan Anthony said he will wear another number associated with his father, but not with his days at Syracuse.

He plans to wear the number his father wore with the New York Knicks.

“I will probably wear number 7, for sure,’’ he said.

I really enjoyed the Podcast reveal. Definitely rated TV-MA

I though it was well done as well. I felt it was more PG-13 or R though

Can the bullshit of playing in Barclays vs MSG end next year?

Great class but next season feels like a decade away with how this one has started.

I heard rivals just lowered him to 76th in the class after the announcement

Kick rocks USC!

Reading the scouting report on 247, I hope people will let Kiyan be Kiyan. He sounds like a great prospect who still has a lot of developing to do. He's not going to be the kind of player Carmelo was but he could be a very good player indeed if we are patient with him.

Feels different when we know they are coming to see their friend's son play.

Hopefully Melo is willing to help the staff with whatever they need in order to get the pieces they need to help Kiyan and, in turn Cuse, be successful.

I see this happening without any inside info and five drinks deep

What? You want him to help SU recruit guys that might take some of his son’s playing time??

Sorry……couldn’t help myself.

 

[Cheriehoop]

That would be amazing if he was, tbh. lol

Guess GMac certainly isn’t sensitive over his SU jersey #. Looked it up and Mookie Jones, Dion Waiters, Jerami Grant, Carter Sanderson ,Shaun Belby, Andrew White, Judah Mintz, and now Lucas Taylor all have worn #3 since he did.

I rarely post, but this is some absolutely wonderful sh$t. As my little brother who is a frequent poster on this board will recount, we grew up here. This is us. And we watched all the greats ... Pearl, DC, Sherm, Billy, Ronny, Wallace. It was truly the best that hoops could produce and they did it in our simple, backwood upstate NY town. When Melo came along after an NIT finish, it was a callback to what we had seen when Coleman was grabbing boards and running the break ... only more "contemporary." But it finished in the greatest way imaginable. That is not the expectation here. But damn does it feel good to connect these pieces through what this program and town has always been about. Family.
