Son of NBA Hall of Famer returning to Syracuse for sophomore season
Kiyan Anthony, son of former NBA superstar Carmelo Anthony, has not jumped into the transfer portal like many other players.
College basketball fans are well aware of the transfer portal craze taking place this spring. Despite his brand name and potential to command NIL dollars on another campus, Syracuse Orange guard Kiyan Anthony will be returning to the program for his sophomore season. Anthony's choice was perhaps influenced by Syracuse's decision to hire his father's former teammate at head coach.
The Orange hired Gerry McNamara this spring after parting ways with Adrian Autry, who lasted three seasons with the program. McNamara and Carmelo Anthony played at Syracuse during their memorable 2002-03 campaign, when the two freshmen went on a run that secured the national championship for the Orange.
