2025 Recruiting: Kiyan Anthony: "I hope UConn reaches out."

[CardiacAndre7]

I really don't think it's a safe assumption at all. None of our former players kids have given UConn any preferential treatment, and they certainly haven't excluded any of UConn's rivals. Athletes do not view sports rivalries remotely similar to how fans do

His interview when he got the offer wasn't anything special, it's mostly just talk about how it would be cool to continue his dad's legacy but it doesn't come across as a huge Syracuse lean

Kiyan Anthony, son of Carmelo, talks Syracuse offer and updates recruitment

Kiyan Anthony, a four-star prospect in the class of 2025 and son of NBA Legend Carmelo Anthony received an offer from Syracuse University on Monday. This is Anthony’s

I think Melo is more synonymous with Cuse than any of our players are with UConn. Kemba may be the only exception.

Because they have one chip and he's the only reason. He's like Jeebus up there. Kemba is a god but he's just one in the pantheon.

The kid must be trolling right? We’re the one school he probably disliked growing up?

I was surprised to learn how common it is for recruits to barely follow CBB. Dunno the case here but could be.

Do you think the Courant sportswriters read the Boneyard?

I’m not even sure melo is a cuse fan lmao

He did only go there for one year. It’s quite possible he means way more to the fan base than Syracuse means to him.

Well he donated enough $ to put his name on the practice facility, so he cares to some degree.

The funniest part of Melo donating the money for the practice facility is Boeheim almost turned the money down since it was from Melo who was only there 1 year

 

[Horatio]

Please make this be an actual thing. Even if it gets to a OV and we’re in his final four decision picks, please let this be real. Lol!!!!

 

[UCTitleTown]

I figured he was a Cuse lock. Maybe not. Hopefully, he plays both sides of the ball.

 

[I Bleed Blue]

The Cuse melt down would be LEGENDARY. This needs to happen.

Tax right off

Seems like a sharp kid, does his own research. Found out the old man played UConn twice, lost both while never taking a lead.

That does seem an oddly Boeheim thing to do.

It’s tough to have grammatical errors in a 3 word post, but you did it!

It’s been a long day lmfaooo. Imma tap out for the night.

[Ratso]

melo’s kid, sign him up!

 

[Tampahusky]

Would love to have him especially that Aaron Jones is graduating from the sidelines after this year. Let’s get Melo !!!

 

[alphasigko]

That would be very ironic if he became a Husky!

 

[SoFla Steve]

I'm sure 'Melo will come to his son's games. It would be great to show him in the crowd during a game.

 

[king conn]

Maybe if he commits we can get Melo to pay for the renovations just for the Cuse fans to chew on.

To crush their spirit? It’s not enough to merely be pro UConn. We should also aim to be anti Syracuse IMO.

It's a line I wouldn't want to cross between "anti-cuse" and "becoming cuse".... That line is defined by gmac.

 

[housekeys]

If the coaching staff believes the kid would be an asset I'm all for bringing him in. I don't want to do it because of the way someone else's fan base may react. We receive an exceptional amount of pleasure from our program, we don't need to do anything other than continue the program as it has been. We add players because they can help us, not because it will hurt someone else.

Besides,Syracuse already gives us plenty to laugh about.

Sorry, but this post is too sane enough to be on the boneyard. Please re-consider and re-submit with your boneyard beanie squarely on.

Touché. I think Kiyan would hurt enough. Some are saying we shouldn’t make moves to spite a competitor. We wouldn’t be. Kiyan is a really good player. We should be involved with really good players.

Our fifth title and especially the way we won it, has torn down a lot of barriers and misconceptions about UConn and its program. Fans and young players see us in a new light.

With a UConn “Anthony” jersey on lol
