Along with Florida State, Anthony holds offers from the likes of Memphis, Syracuse (his father’s alma mater), Providence, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Maryland, and others.

In a previous interview with On3, Kiyan spoke about carrying his father’s legacy.

“It’s big shoes to fill,” Kiyan said to On3. “I’m not trying to be him exactly, but him passing the torch down to me, it’s pressure but I don’t feel any pressure when I’m on the court. All the work I put in, I just show it on the court. It’s a great feeling, him leaning on me and trusting me to fill those shoes and passing the torch. I’m ready for what’s to come.”
