La La Anthony reacts to son Kiyan Anthony's college decision
Kiyan Anthony is a senior at Long Island Lutheran High School in New York. The shooting guard made his college decision on Friday on the season opener of his father, Carmelo Anthony's podcast, '7PM in Brooklyn'.
La La Anthony shared the video of Kiyan announcing the Syracuse Orange as his final choice on Instagram and wrote:
"What a night!!! SYRACUSE!!!🍊🍊I’m so proud of @kiyananthony on making his college decision…my baby is going to college 🥹Let the journey continue!!!"
With his choice, Kiyan Anthony will follow in the footsteps of Carmelo, who spent one season with the Orange and led them to a NCAA championship in 2003. Commenting on his final decision, Kiyan said:
"Ultimately, it came down to my relationship with the staff," Anthony said (via ESPN). "From Day one, when they started recruiting me, they made me feel like it was family.
"My dad's name on the facility is special, but I want to go in there and create my own name, and I've already done that through my dedication in the offseason, with early-morning practices, playing at camps, playing on the circuit."
Kiyan Anthony is ranked No. 32 by ESPN and is the top recruit in New York. He averaged 19.6 points in the Nike EYBL circuit this spring.
