USC head coach Andy Enfield and staff landed the biggest name in high school basketball over the weekend when Bronny James announced he would be staying close to home and joining the Trojans next season. The oldest son of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James chose USC over Ohio State and Oregon and never commented on his recruitment once during his high school career.
in response to the USC rumors, but hasn't commented publicly about the possibility of leaving Kentucky.
This might be the most talented team under Enfield since he arrived at USC and will be one of the hottest tickets in town with the star power not only on the court, but also on the sidelines when LeBron can make it to games. Since Enfield arrived in 2013, USC has won at least 21 games in seven out of the last eight seasons and advanced to the NCAA tournament five times, including an Elite Eight run in 2021.
Bronny might be at USC for only one season with many anticipating he'll be a one-and-done player and enter the 2024 NBA Draft. LeBron has a player option with the Lakers that summer. In fewer than two years, LeBron and Bronny could make history as the first father-son duo to play together in NBA. "I was serious, and I'm still serious about it," LeBron said Saturday."My son is going to take his journey. And whatever his journey, however his journey lays out, he's going to do what's best for him. So, just because that's my aspiration or my goal [playing in the NBA together], doesn't mean it's his. And I'm absolutely OK with that."
Bronny might not be the typical one-and-done prospect with his size and the numbers he put up during his high school career, but he plays the right way, is an excellent 3-point shooter, a great defender and someone NBA scouts will be watching closely next season at USC.
