    Miami went four deep for Cole Anthony with head coach Jim Larranaga and three assistants on Tuesday at Oak Hill Academy.

    The son of former NBA point guard Greg Anthony, Anthony has taken an unofficial visit to Miami, which is about an hour from where Greg lives in Delray Beach.

    Cole has also taken unoffical trips to North Carolina, Wake Forest and UCLA and an official to Notre Dame. He is slated to visit UNC officially Sept. 28.

    Pittsburgh is among the other schools involved for Anthony, who is expected to sign in the spring.

    Anthony averaged  26.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 3.5 assists for the PSA Cardinals during the Nike EYBL regular season.

    In June, Anthony helped lead the USA U18 team to a gold medal at the FIBA U18 Americas Championship in Ontario, averaging 14.3 points and 4.2 assists.

    “He’s tough, he can really shoot the basketball, he can score,” Kansas and U18 coach Bill Self said. “He can certainly make plays for himself in the paint and I think he’s really getting better and trying to make plays for others, too. He was really close to having a lot of assists in the second half and for whatever reason, he was just a little bit off. But I think he’s really trying to be aggressive and still be a point guard. I think he’s got a pretty good balance of that.”
