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

[jdubs30]

Carmelo is an A+++ basketball parent when you listen to him talk about Kiyan's development and path forward, too. Pretty much the exact opposite of the way Bronny's career has been handled thus far.

It's refreshing.

Unless Kiyan doesn’t come here, then i completely disagree with how Melo handled it

Kiyan would immediately be part of the family at SU.

But what if Auburn makes him the offer for which he's campaigning?
Does he tell them, "Ha...only kidding"?

Then the Auburn staff would say ahhh...burn.

My boss asked me to take a look at his screen, said it was important. I go over and look, only to see that "the boneyard" (uconn forum) is up with a thread about Kiyan Anthony... I think this is the one:

2025 Recruiting: - Kiyan Anthony: "I hope UConn reaches out."

Should be interesting

Anyone hiring?

He'll most probably go SU, but there have been shockers in
the past.

What recruit was the most surprising/disappointing when he went
somewhere else?

There were several, but I have to choose Foyle. Never saw him going
to Colgate, even with the close family ties.

How many wins do you reckon that cost SU?

Is this the mother company of WWE?.....

He was never coming to Syracuse.

My understanding was UNC gave his GF a full scholarship. King Rice was another, but I think we thought we were good, so might not have been a bonafide offer. .

Tom Sheehey got away. He so didn't want SU that he went to UVA, even though the assistant coach hit the family dog with the car at the in - home.

Also, UVA flew in Sal's Birdland wings for Sheehey's official.

for those wondering why Auburn is in the top 3: it’s so the logos of the finalists create his personalized license plate: “SAUSC”

Melo was on Jimmy Fallon last night and talked a little bit about Kiyan and how he is going to announce his decision next week on Melo's podcast with Kid Mero, "7PM in Brooklyn"

Did we know he eliminated Auburn?

The part of his appearance talking about playing against LeBron in high school and about Kiyan was not included in the version of The Tonight Show broadcast on NBC last night. It was cut out, probably due to time since they did a skit earlier in the show about wine. Maybe it's included in the On-Demand version and the version streaming on Peacock. Melo's appearance was to promote his wine.

 

[FloridaCuse]

Did we know he eliminated Auburn?

I'd seen it reported previously (maybe in this thread) although others have still included Auburn on his list. It sounds like Kiyan hasn't made a decision yet, or at least if he has he hasn't told Melo, and Melo says he's nervous about it. If he's nervous, does that mean he wants him to go to Cuse?

 

[Cuse181]

Very daring!

 

[FloridaCuse]

I wonder if Bronny's demotion from the Lakers to the G League might affect Kiyan's thought process. Might make thoughts of being part of the Cuse family more attractive.

Hopefully Melo isn't really nervous, but just saying that. I know i won't be nervous unless I see crystal balls fall to USC. But then, I'll be more pissed than nervous.

 

[JRHEETER]

Come on, committing on his dads show and committing on “11/15”

He can’t not go to Cuse if he’s committing on the day of his dad’s number 15.

That would be like a triple whammy to dad. Just don’t see it happening. He’s Cuse bound

Kiyan’s decision was made a while ago…


It was never not going to be Syracuse.

I think JJ is gone after this season. It's generally harder for a senior to get drafted unless he makes a huge leap from junior to senior year (which rarely happens). JJ is a first rounder if he has a solid year and puts up a respectable 3 point shooting percentage. At a minimum, he's a second rounder or 2 way commitment candidate.

JJ a first rounder? First round of what?
