In June, Anthony released his top-4 schools, including Michigan, Notre Dame, Penn State, and MSU.

It hasn't been the easiest thing in the world because earlier this week, Anthony tweeted, saying, "Never thought this decision would be this hard."

But fans will know soon enough.

10-out-of-10 Crystal Ball predictions via 247Sports say that Anthony will become a Spartan, most of whom have a confidence level of six or higher.

The 6-foot-2, 175-pound wide receiver was initially offered by former head coach Mark Dantonio before Tucker came in and made the East Lansing native a top priority.

According to 247Sports Composite Rankings, he is the 12th recruit in Michigan (the state's top WR), and the No. 85 receiver for the class of '21.
