So I'm 60...and definitely feel that way after this process.

UGH
Your real age is 70 minus the number of musicians you recognize playing at Coachella 2025

🍊 Welcome home!
Kiyan Anthony committing to Syracuse. This is gonna be so fun.

My colleague Chris Carlson has a great read on Kiyan Anthony here. Come to Syracuse and walk into massive expectations or go to USC where you can be just another good ballplayer with the space to build your own legacy.
What would Kiyan Anthony bring to Syracuse? Celebrity, talent and history make him a unique force
Kiyan Anthony will arrive at college with a famous name, a basketball pedigree, a fashion brand and his own athletic underwear line.
