Kiyan Anthony is following in his father's footsteps. He's going to play basketball at Syracuse.
Carmelo Anthony's son - a highly touted shooting guard from Long Island Lutheran High - made it official on Friday, two years after the Orange offered him a scholarship.
Kiyan Anthony is a 6-foot-5 shooting guard and generally considered the top recruit in New York state as well as one of the nation's top prospects. Syracuse had to beat out Southern California to get the commitment Auburn and a slew of other schools also recruited him.
"At the end of the day, only one could stay," Kiyan Anthony said on his father's "7PM in Brooklyn" podcast, with his mother La La Anthony seated next to him as well for the announcement. "And with that being said, I'll be committing to Syracuse University."
He put on a Syracuse cap, then hugged his parents.
