ALL-MET ELITE

Anya, playing in his third season with Team Takeover, has done his part in the squad's 9-5 record in EYBL play. As Team Takeover prepares for this weekend's Oakland, Calif., EYBL session, it is in the driver's seat for qualifying for the Peach Jam.

"I want to win at all costs. I hate losing, and I love winning," said Anya, who is averaging 8.3 points in EYBL play on a balanced Team Takeover squad. "I'm going to do whatever I can to help my team win, whether that's getting rebounds, block shots, score, whatever possible."

Ranked No. 15 overall and the top-ranked center in the ESPN 60, Anya averaged 7.8 points and 2.2 blocks during the Dallas session. He showed his dominance with a 14-point, 5-rebound and 3-block performance in limited play against the Tennessee Travelers. This is Anya's second EYBL season, and before he focuses on choosing a college, he wants to end his AAU career with a Peach Jam title.

At DeMatha Catholic, Anya was a key contributor for a team that finished 30-5 in his junior season. DeMatha capped its season by winning the Alhambra Catholic Invitational for the 21st time. All of the Stags' losses were against Fab 50 teams.

There are multiple highlight tapes available that show his ability to dominate inside. Defensively, he uses his 7-foot-4 wingspan to block shots and grab rebounds. Offensively, Anya's power is beneficial in finishing plays close to the rim.

Anya is balancing a host of offers, including Ohio State, Indiana, Kansas, Syracuse, UCLA and Georgetown, among others. He also has interest from North Carolina, Duke and Kentucky.
