Syracuse Basketball: 4-star Kiyan Anthony can carve his own ‘Cuse legacy

As my brother and fellow site contributor Neil Adler shared in a post, 2025 four-star shooting guard Kiyan Anthony recently did a podcast where he discussed the possibility of coming to Syracuse basketball. For those unaware, Kiyan is the son of former Syracuse University basketball player and national champion Carmelo Anthony.

Some have speculated that this is Kiyan’s destiny, to which Neil and I both agree that it’s too early to say. And some are wondering if he can carve his own legacy or if coming to Syracuse basketball might be hard to overcome the legacy of his father, who helped bring Syracuse basketball its only championship in 2003 and has the Carmelo K.
