Every young hooper dreams of the moment when their hard work starts to pay off — when the phone rings, coaches call, and doors open that once felt miles away. For Anthony Felesi, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Utah Prep, that moment is here.

The four-star prospect in the 2026 class has officially trimmed his list to five programs: BYU, Pittsburgh, San Diego State, UCLA, and USC.

It’s a milestone that marks not just the next step in his basketball journey, but a reflection of years of effort, sacrifice, and self-belief.

Felesi has become known for more than just his scoring touch. His length, poise, and ability to impact both ends of the floor have earned him national recognition and a growing list of admirers in the college basketball world.

He’s already made official visits to Pitt, San Diego State, and USC — programs that have been tracking him closely. Next up, he’ll head to UCLA on October 22nd, followed by a stop at BYU in mid-November.

Each visit is a chance for Felesi to find the right fit — a place that matches his ambition on the court and supports who he is off it.

After his final two visits, expect the buzz to pick up. Fans, coaches, and scouts will be watching closely to see which program wins over one of the most complete guards in his class.

No matter where he lands, one thing is clear: Anthony Felesi’s journey is just beginning — and the basketball world is paying attention.
