Syracuse Basketball: Kiyan Anthony goes off in front of Melo, as 4-stars crush EYBL

Amid another AAU session over the holiday weekend, Syracuse basketball priority recruit Kiyan Anthony continues to prove blazing hot, while other Orange targets have put up some monster performances of their own.

This weekend, and running through Monday afternoon, Nike's EYBL circuit is conducting its fourth spring session, this time in Kansas City, Mo.

Numerous 'Cuse recruiting targets in the 2025 and 2026 classes are suiting up in Kansas City, and some of their outputs have been truly remarkable.

While the EYBL's Web site doesn't have box scores for every game, and some box scores are incomplete, I'm going to review below various stellar performances by Syracuse basketball recruits during games this past Friday and Saturday, with statistics also coming courtesy of thecircuithoops.com.

EYBL games were also to be played later on Sunday and into Monday as well, after I wrote this column, so I'll monitor how Orange targets fared in those contests, too.

Recapping some terrific play from Syracuse basketball 2025 and 2026 targets.
