Anthony talks finalists

In previous interviews with On3, Kiyan Anthony broke down the schools involved.

Syracuse: “Syracuse has a young core on the team now. And I learned a lot about the coaches and their vision. They’re very together, I mean they’re still trying to figure everything out. The team is switching to Coach (Adrian) Autry’s identity, switching from the zone to man to man. They’re still recruiting hard, trying to put together the 2024 and the 2025 classes. When I speak with the coaches, they let me know the vision. The type of players they’re recruiting and who all they think will be around. I liked all the stuff I heard from them.”

Auburn: “They haven’t offered me yet. I’m still learning about them. Coach (Ira) Bowman reaches out to me every other day. He checks on me and a few of my close friends are over there, Tahaad (Pettiford) and Jahki (Howard) and they tell me about it. I’m looking forward to them throwing the offer so I can go take the visit.”

USC: “Coach (Eric) Musselman reached out to me a couple days ago when I was in Vegas. He definitely shows a lot of love. Also coach (Quincy) Pondexter, who played against my dad in the league. He shows a lot of love to me.”
