Son of NBA great Carmelo Anthony plans to visit USC

Can USC really land another son of a famous NBA star?

Four-star Class of 2025 shooting guard Kiyan Anthony is from Long Island Lutheran High School. The son of NBA great Carmelo Anthony says he now plans to visit USC this summer.

Kiyan Anthony has already taken two official visits — Syracuse (his father’s alma mater) and Florida State.

He also holds offers from Providence, Seton Hall, Tennessee, Illinois, Pittsburgh, Dayton, Maryland, Michigan, Saint John’s, UConn, UCF, West Virginia, and Arizona State.

The 6-foot-5 guard has had a strong spring and summer playing for Team Melo on the EYBL Circuit. Kiyan Anthony is currently averaging 19.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game.

Ten-time NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony is his father. Carmelo is in the top 10 of the league’s all-time scoring list and is one of the more decorated players in the history of USA Basketball. It will be fascinating to see if, after USC landed the son of LeBron James, the Trojans are able to bring aboard another son of a famous NBA player as a recruit. Obviously, Eric Musselman is very different from Andy Enfield, so it’s hard to put any stock in the past as a measurement of how this new recruitment might unfold.
