Currently, Rivals.com No 5 player in the Class of 2012, Anderson, described as a point guard/forward, has exceptional court vision, leaving comparisons another point guard/forward. Anderson's father, Kyle Anderson Sr. also sees the comparison saying, "Kyle can run the point and the team and win while doing it. At his size, I compare him to Ervin "Magic" Johnson. Kyle is closer to 6-9 than 6-8 now; he just turned 17 in September."
During the SNY Invitational, Anderson's presence brought out high school basketball fans and college coaches. St. John's head coach Steve Lavin, and Seton Hall head coach Kevin Willard, who are recruiting the junior, were spotted in the crowd. The junior currently holds a staggering eighteen school offers.
Asked when his son will be trimming his list down, Anderson Sr. responded, "He will trim his list after his high school season; before the Spring AAU season is over. The trimming of the list will be based a lot on what position he decides and what he wishes to pursue in college."

"Right now, St. John's is high on the list because of all the players they signed. [They have] only one is a point guard," said Anderson, Sr.
Spring is seven weeks away and Anderson will soon rejoin his AAU team, returning to a hectic travel schedule. One of Anderson's many tournaments stops will be in April at South Jamaica, NY's iS8/Nike Spring Classic.
