Kiyan Anthony commends Syracuse HC Adrian Autry
Kiyan Anthony, the 6-5 shooting guard, who ranks No. 33 in the nation, No. 12 in the shooting guard position and No. 1 in New York had offers from top programs including Florida State, Providence, USC and Ohio State, among others.
However, he chose his father's alma mater and spoke to ESPN about his decision:
"I'm going to do everything Coach Autry needs me to do," Anthony said. "We talk a lot, especially late at night, about how we can make Syracuse basketball great. Off the court, Coach is super cool. You could go out with him on a Friday night. He's still young and connects with all his players; he is very relatable."
Anthony will be accompanied by Sadiq White, Luke Fennell and Aaron Womack at the Orange next season.
