The AI predicted that the No. 32 overall recruit in the Class of 2025 is most likely to pick the Syracuse Orange. It cited Kiyan's family legacy, recent recruitment and public sentiment as the reasons for its prediction.

The AI model suggested that Syracuse holds significant sentimental value as Kiyan's father's alma matter. It believes Anthony Jr. would see this as an opportunity to follow in his father's footsteps. It argued that Kiyan would like to contribute to the program's legacy.
