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

[AntG168]

Should be interesting

 

[navery12]

He's a good player, hopefully we reach out

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Cuse, eat your heart out!

 

[That Guy]

Oh God, the meltdown from Cuse fans if Melo's son committed to UConn would be legendary.

 

[TheHorde]

I want him for the talent as well as the added benefit of ripping the hearts out of Cuse fans everywhere.

 

[boog204]

Love this for many reasons...

 

[UConn Esq]

Syracuse would have to mercy kill their basketball program if UConn stole Kiyan Anthony....

 

[TheHorde]

Get Kiyan to commit and if we ever lose one of our assistant coaches, then bring in Gerry Mac.

 

[Gutter King]

Oh God, the meltdown from Cuse fans if Melo's son committed to UConn would be legendary.

This would be worth a BY GoFundMe NIL campaign. That fan base would never get over it.

If you can’t land the kid whose father you named your practice gym after, then all is lost

 

[Huskyforlife]

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

Growing up? He was 6 or 7 years old when we joined the AAC

Growing up? He was 6 or 7 years old when we joined the AAC

We’re still UConn though? It’s not like Cuse fans stopped disliking us in the American?

Why?

The flaw is assuming he's a Cuse fan

 

[AntG168]

The flaw is assuming he's a Cuse fan

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

 

[Huskyforlife]

The flaw is assuming he's a Cuse fan

I think I’ve read that he was growing up. But either way it’s obviously the safer assumption.

I mean maybe after how they forced Jim out there’s some sour feelings, but I really doubt he cares that much.

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

The internal conflict is real on my behalf

 

[TheHorde]

It

Why?

Why?

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

Oh my goodness I would love if we take him just because of how funny it would be

Just googled him and it looks like he goes to LI Lutheran. Isn’t that where Ross plays?

Yeah that's where Ross played last year. His younger brother Jacob is still there as well who we've been connected to

 

[FfldCntyFan]

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.

Absolutely
