Kiyan Anthony has officially narrowed his commitment options down to six schools: Auburn, Syracuse, Florida State, Ohio State, USC and Rutgers.

Anthony, the son of former NBA superstar Carmelo Anthony, is the No. 27 overall player in the 2025 recruiting class according to On3 Sports rankings.

Carmelo Anthony famously led Syracuse to an NCAA Tournament title in 2003 as the tournament's Most Outstanding Player. The all-time great scorer then went on to notch 10 All-Star selections in his 19-year NBA career.

On3 Sports' prediction for Kiyan Anthony leans heavily in favor of Syracuse at 89.4%. Florida State has the next highest percentage at 7.3%.

Here's Anthony's recruiting profile from On3:

Scoring is the thing with Kiyan Anthony. He is wired to score the ball. And, year over year, his game has continued on an upward trend. Standing 6-4/6-5, he has a good frame with nice length. Good positional size. Offensively, Anthony has good touch with a solid base in his jump shot. He is comfortable off the bounce or the catch. He is starting to show comfort as a go-to type scorer. Anthony plays confidently. He will need to continue developing the handle. This will also help his efficiency and help in learning (and getting to) his spots on the floor. Taking a less is more offensive approach will help his overall threat as a scorer. He has solid defensive anticipation off the ball. Will need to continue adding strength. The range is deep and he has an array of off-balance or step-back type moves to get a clean look. Anthony is already producing big numbers and he still has some ceiling to continue growing into as a player. He is the son of Carmelo Anthony.

Anthony also fielded offers from Arizona State, Indiana, West Virginia, UCF, Maryland, Dayton, Pitt, Illinois, Seton Hall, Providence and more.
