Kiyan Anthony, the son of NBA legend Carmelo Anthony, has pared down his list of schools.

Per On3 Sports' Joe Tipton, Anthony is down to Auburn, USC and Syracuse, where his father played in college.

According to 247Sports Composite, Anthony is a 4-star recruit, the No. 28 player nationally, the No. 6 shooting guard in the country and the top player in the state of New York out of the Class of 2025.

According to Tipton, Anthony has yet to receive an offer from Auburn but is "looking forward to" receiving one and taking a visit.

He has, however, received offers from Syracuse and USC and spoke highly of both schools. While the Orange haven't made the NCAA Tournament since 2021, Anthony trusts the program is on the rise under new head coach Adrian Autry.

"Syracuse has a young core on the team now. And I learned a lot about the coaches and their vision," he said. "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."

USC is entering its first season under head coach Eric Musselman, who is coming off a successful tenure with Arkansas. Anthony told Tipton that Musselman "shows a lot of love" along with assistant coach Quincy Pondexter, an NBA veteran who played against Anthony's dad.

While he has his choice of strong programs, committing to Syracuse would mean he would have the chance to continue his father's legacy. Carmelo played just one season with the Orange, but he brought the team its only NCAA Championship behind his 22.2 points and 10 rebounds per game during the 2002-03 season.

The history at Syracuse will certainly be in the back of his mind as he makes his decision, but Anthony will ultimately pick the school he feels can set him up for a storied career in the NBA like his father.
