[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Yup!  Carmelo's son.

 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

6'4" 4-star Kiyan Anthony attended Christ the King Regional in NY but transferred to Long Island Lutheran last February but had to sit out the remainder of LI Lutheran's season.  He plays AAU for Team Melo 16U (who else?) on the EYBL circuit.  This from last weekend's event:  "...(Anthony) showed the full range of his offensive arsenal this past weekend in Phoenix, averaging 17.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal a game."

I think dad might vouch for Woody.

Would be pretty sweet to have Carmelo pulling up to Assembly Hall on a regular basis. That’s a dude who still has a lot of clout with most kids.

Surely we are a front runner here

If not the leaders, we should at least be in the mix and have a great chance.

And don't call me Shirley.

What a group we are and I say that in a fun way.  He's a '25 and we're already worried about being the leader in his recruiting.

If this is not a 2 horse race between IU and Syracuse I'd be surprised

And Cuse really doesn’t have as much to offer in comparison. A 47-year era just came to an end. Melo was one and done under Boeheim but has way more experience, and likely more of a relationship, with Woody. IU is on an upward trajectory; Syracuse is TBD.

 

If it would come down to that two horse race I’d take those odds.

Kiyan will look to visit Indiana soon as the NCAA contact period opens up.  “I used to be the little kid in the locker room, running around, when he [Mike Woodson] was coaching my dad,” he told On3.  (Woodson) is like a mentor to me, more than anything. If I do go to Indiana, it’s going to be great.  I feel like he would put me in positions to score.  He will build around me, get players that do what I do, score and also shoot the ball, defend.  I’m just ready for him to reach out to me on June 15th and we will go from there.”

NOTE:  The 15th is the first day coaches can make direct contact with the '25 class.

Well, that’s encouraging.

I'm sorry, but that sounds a little "I, me, mine" to me.
