Bryce James, the son of NBA superstar LeBron James, has announced his commitment to the University of Arizona’s men’s basketball
program. The highly-touted recruit made the announcement on social media, marking a significant addition to the Wildcats’ roster.
James, known for his impressive shooting ability and basketball IQ, has been a rising star in high school basketball circles. His decision to join
Arizona adds to the program’s growing reputation for attracting top-tier talent under head coach Tommy Lloyd.
“I’m excited to announce my commitment to the University of Arizona,” James wrote in his post. “Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey. Bear Down!”
Arizona fans and analysts have already begun speculating on the potential impact of James’ arrival, as he joins a Wildcats team with aspirations for deep NCAA Tournament runs. His commitment further cements Arizona’s status as one of college basketball’s premier destinations for elite prospects.
James’ choice follows in the footsteps of several high-profile commitments to the Wildcats in recent years, bolstering a program known for its fast-paced, high-scoring style of play. With his pedigree and skill set, James is expected to make an immediate impact on the court.
The decision ends months of speculation about where Bryce James would continue his basketball journey. While he had garnered interest from several other top programs, Arizona ultimately won out, adding another chapter to the legacy of the James basketball family.
LeBron James, who has been vocal in his support of his sons’ basketball careers, has yet to comment publicly on Bryce’s commitment, but fans are already anticipating the possibility of the young star following in his father’s footsteps at the professional level.
As the 2024 season approaches, all eyes will be on Tucson to see how Bryce James develops and contributes to the Wildcats’ pursuit of basketball excellence.
