Kiyan Anthony Reveals Deciding Factor in CBB Decision with Syracuse, USC Among Top 3

Kiyan Anthony is close to making his college decision, but is still deciding between Syracuse, USC and Auburn.

Making an appearance on Angel Reese's podcast, Unapologetically Angel, the son of NBA legend Carmelo Anthony revealed the deciding factor in where he decides to play college basketball.

"Just what coaches have been on me the latest and where I can go in right away and see growth, where I can develop my game and just try to win," Anthony said. "Whatever the coaches are telling me, where they can see my playing, what my role is."

Anthony is considered to be a 4-star prospect by 247Sports Composite and is listed as the No. 28 player nationally, the No. 6 shooting guard in the country and the top player in the state of New York out of the Class of 2025.

He holds offers from Syracuse, USC, Florida State and others, though is still awaiting an offer from Auburn, one of the schools in his top three. According to 247Sports' Dushawn London, Anthony said in September that he planned to commit in the last week of October or the first week of November, so his decision is coming soon.

Given his father's legacy at Syracuse, there's certainly an expectation that he'll strongly consider the Orange. He told London in September that Syracuse made an impression on him during an in-home visit.

"Obviously everybody knows they came to my house two weeks ago," he said. "They presented where they see me fitting, NIL, housing, and really showed out with the house visit. I also went on the official visit last year so maybe I'll do another one. If not I've already seen everything and they've been to my house. I already know everything I need with them."

But Anthony obviously has two outstanding schools to consider in USC and Auburn, so he'll have a tough decision to make.

Wherever he goes, he'll look to follow up his father's collegiate success with a fruitful career of his own.
