Bryce played shooting guard at Sierra Canyon (California) and is considered to be a three-star recruit at the position in the class of 2025. According to reports, James selected Arizona due to Head Coach Tommy Lloyd’s ability to develop players and his patience with that process. He previously made visits to USC, where his older brother Bronny played for a season and also Notre Dame earlier last fall. The Fighting Irish, Ohio State and Duquesne also made offers to James throughout his recruitment.
Lebron took to social media to express his excitement about the news of his son’s commitment.
Bryce James began his high school career at Sierra Canyon before moving to Campbell Hall in May 2023. He later moved to Notre Dame High before returning to Sierra Canyon in November of 2023. The 6-foot-4, 165 pound guard currently holds an NIL deal from Klutch Sports, who have been a long representative of his father.
Bryce is a bit of a different athlete than his brother Bronny, which yields to great potential if he remains patient and develops.
"Bryce James is the son of Lebron James and that means, like his older brother Bronny, he's under the microscope. Bryce needs to be given time and space to run his own race though. He may not be the dynamic athlete or playmaker some expect at first, but he is a fundamentally sound player with solid perimeter size and a good early skill-set.” - 247Sports Director of Scouting Adam Finkelstien
Bryce becomes the second player to verbally commit to the Wildcats, joining five-star small forward Dwayne Aristode, who signed his national letter of intent in November.
