Bryce James, the son of NBA superstar LeBron James, has officially committed to the University of Arizona for the Wildcats’ 2025 recruiting class. He announced his commitment on Instagram with the message “100% committed.”
As a four-star prospect from Sierra Canyon High School in California, James previously fielded offers from various schools, including Ohio State and Duquesne. Notably, Duquesne was the first to extend an offer to him in the summer of 2022. This past fall, he took an unofficial visit to Ohio State and recently visited Arizona as well.
In his performance on the court, Bryce showcased his skills while playing for the Strive For Greatness grassroots program in the Nike EYBL circuit. Over 14 games, he averaged 6.9 points and 2.2 rebounds while shooting 39% from the field and an impressive 36.8% from behind the three-point line. His standout performance came against NightRydas Elite, where he scored 21 points and grabbed six rebounds, shooting 5-for-9 from beyond the arc. During the Nike Peach Jam, he kept up the momentum with 12 points in one game against the same team.
Additionally, Bryce was invited to participate in the USA Basketball under-17 national team training camp last June, further highlighting his potential as a young athlete.
Bryce’s older brother, Bronny James, briefly played at USC before entering the professional arena, despite facing health challenges that impacted his college experience. Bronny was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round of the recent NBA Draft.
With Bryce’s commitment, Arizona now boasts two recruits in its 2025 class alongside Dwayne Aristode, who committed in October and signed during the early signing period. Coach Tommy Lloyd continues to pursue other high-level prospects for the class, targeting notable players like Koa Peat, Brayden Burries, and Alijah Arenas.
This commitment marks an exciting chapter not just for Bryce but also for the Arizona basketball program as it aims to strengthen its future by securing top talents. Fans and analysts will be keenly watching his development as he embarks on his college basketball journey.
Summary: Bryce James has officially committed to the University of Arizona for the 2025 recruiting class, joining Dwayne Aristode. A four-star player from Sierra Canyon, he showcased significant talent on the court and has been compared to his father, LeBron James. His commitment adds strength to Arizona’s recruiting efforts as they pursue additional top prospects for the future.
