Bronny James — a popular four-star recruit and the son of Los Angeles Lakers superstar forward LeBron James — will be playing in the NCAA next year after leaving Sierra Canyon High School.
He doesn't know where he would like to take his talents though.
Having been at least lightly recruited by the likes of University of Kentucky men's basketball head coach John Calipari since he was in middle school, Bronny has had plenty of time to ruminate over that decision.
That said, the number of programs looking to host Bronny over the years have only increased. As a result, have made his decision more difficult, and understandably so.
Nonetheless, Bronny has narrowed down his options and has three colleges at the top of his list as he prepares to embark on the next stage of his basketball journey, according to Luca Evans of the Los Angeles Times.
“James will make a decision on his college commitment after the season, and his top three schools are Ohio State — his father’s favorite — USC and Oregon.”
There may also be a fourth school that's a dark horse candidate to land Bronny.
As Evans notes, the Ohio State Buckeyes are his father's favorite college program and Ohio is all but his father's literal kingdom. Furthermore, though he currently stars at a highly touted program in California, Bronny was born in Cleveland.
That said, the USC Trojans would keep Bronny local, as it's only three miles away from the Lakers arena and an hour drive from Sierra Canyon.
Last but not least, the Oregon Ducks are known for their ties to Nike founder Phil Knight. Bronny playing for Oregon would evokes the memory of his father's lifetime contract with the company.
Furthermore, five-star Oregon recruit Kwame Evans Jr. is recruiting Bronny himself.
