Bryce James, the 17-year-old basketball sensation and son of the NBA legend LeBron James, has reportedly committed to play for the Arizona Wildcats basketball program, moving his career to the next level.
The announcement, made through Bryce's social media, marks a major milestone in his still-nascent career.
Bryce James is 100% Committed to Arizona
After months of speculation, Bryce James made a decision clear. The 6'4" shooting guard from Sierra Canyon High School in California, ranked among the top 50 shooting guards in the nation for the Class of 2025, is joining the University of Arizona, TMZ Sports learns.
Fans first caught a glimpse of Bryce's lean toward Arizona in November when he posted pictures of himself decked out in Wildcats gear alongside his mother, Savannah. Now that his decision is finally set in stone, the chatter surrounding his collegiate career is more feverish than ever.
"100%committed," Bryce wrote along with a few emojis representing the "Bear Down" rally cry in Arizona. There's also an edited photo of himself donning an Arizona shirt.
Family Support Fuels the Excitement
His family members have been loud and clear in their excitement for his decision. His elder brother, Bronny James, is a rookie for the Los Angeles Lakers, and he was on social media posting, "Yessirrrrrrr." The proud father of Bryce, LeBron James, joined in with words of joy regarding Bryce's decision and the future that awaits him.
The James family is no stranger to the spotlight, and Bryce's decision to join the Wildcats adds another chapter to their basketball legacy.
Bryce James: A Rising Star
Although only 6'4", Bryce has already established himself as one of the best players in Sierra Canyon High School, famous for its serious basketball team.
Recruiting analysts still label him as one of the most exciting shooting guards in the United States while still working out his game.
Arizona has got Bryce, signaling that he wanted to be in a top-of-the-line basketball program after a decision from some other big-school offers, such as Ohio State and Duquesne.
The rich basketball tradition combined with the fierce competitiveness in Pac-12 puts the Wildcats at the perfect stage for Bryce's growth as an athlete.
So, What Will Happen to Bryce James?
His commitment to Arizona not only adds star power to the Wildcats roster but also solidifies his journey toward potentially following in his father and brother's footsteps to the NBA.
According to ESPN, Bronny James' younger brother averaged 6.9 points and 2.2 rebounds in his 14 games in the Strive For Greatness grassroots program courtesy of Nike. He's also shooting 36.8% from the downtown and 39% from the field in 22.0 minutes per game.
Speaking of Bronny, his most memorable performance was when he scored 30 points in a road loss against the Valley Suns in the G-League.
