Syracuse commit Kiyan Anthony talks about head coach Adrian Autry

On Nov. 15 last year, La La Anthony's son, Kiyan Anthony, committed to his father's alma mater and joined the Syracuse Orange men's roster. In a conversation with Interview Magazine, the five-star recruit talked about his visit to Syracuse and coach Autry.

When asked about coach Autry, Kiyan described him as a "cool guy."

"I always tell people I feel like Coach Autry is a guy that you could go out on Friday night with and just chill. He’s definitely a cool guy. You could go into his office whenever, talk to him about stuff other than basketball," Kiyan stated.

"This is only his second year, so he’s going in there trying to rebuild Syracuse [back] to what everybody knows Syracuse basketball should be. And I feel like me, along with the other freshman that’s coming in, [can] help bring it back to the top. That’s the final goal," he added.

In addition to Kiyan, three other athletes have signed a letter of intent with the Syracuse Orange roster. The list includes IMG Academy's Sadiq White Jr., NBL Australia's Luke Fennell and Dominican's Aaron Womack, as per 247Sports.
