Kiyan Anthony has his final list of preferred school programs

As he prepares for his transition to college, Kiyan Anthony shared his top six schools on Thursday. The list included his father, Carmelo Anthony's alma mater, Syracuse, along with Auburn, Florida State, Ohio State, USC and Rutgers.

The shooting guard spoke to ZagsBlog about potentially going to the same school as his dad.

"I just like the atmosphere, you know, obviously my dad went there 20-something years ago, so I just like the atmosphere, I like the family environment. The coaches, I feel like they're recruiting me for myself, and not just because of my father. That's what I like," Anthony said.

"I just feel like they're rebuilding and they're looking to get a winning team. I feel like I can help them do that if I was to go there."

It is expected that Anthony will share his final decision in November, just before he starts his senior season.
