Kiyan Anthony, son of basketball legend Carmelo Anthony, has announced his top six schools. One familiar program is included in the final choices: Syracuse, where Melo established himself as a blossoming superstar ahead of the NBA.<\/p>\n

The other five schools on Anthony’s list are Auburn, Florida State, Ohio State, Rutgers, and USC.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, he posted a graphic with the schools to social media platform X. He also spoke about each program in an interview with ZagsBlog earlier this month.<\/p>\n

In that interview, Anthony complimented the family environment of Syracuse:<\/p>\n

\n

“The coaches, I feel like they\u2019re recruiting me for myself, and not just because of my father. That\u2019s what I like. I just feel like they\u2019re rebuilding, and they\u2019re looking to get a winning team. I feel like I can help them do that if I was to go there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He said that Ohio State coach Jake Diebler “has a blueprint and a plan of what guys he wants to come. He\u2019s very strict on who he recruits.” USC head coach\u00a0Eric Musselman has been texting him after games with compliments and advice, while a major draw of Rutgers is Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey.<\/p>\n
