Kiyan Anthony on why he chose Syracuse for his college career
Shortly after committing to the Syracuse Orange, Kiyan Anthony spoke with ESPN and shared his reasoning for joining the ACC program:
“Ultimately, it came down to my relationship with the staff,” Kiyan said in November. “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.
“When I think of Syracuse basketball, I think of the 30,000 fans going crazy in the Dome,” Anthony said. “We want to give Syracuse basketball our best. With Sadiq White and the rest of my teammates, we’ll put on a show for the fans at Syracuse.”
It’s clear that for him, his father’s legacy with the program was a key factor in his decision to join them. Carmelo Anthony for the Orange between 2002 and 2003, winning the 2003 national championship and being that year’s Final Four MVP. He was also a consensus All-American. His No. 15 jersey is retired with the program. That same year, he was the third overall pick of the draft by the Denver Nuggets.
