Bryce James Commits to the University of Arizona

By: Joshua Martin

Bryce James, the youngest son of NBA superstar Lebron James, will be playing Division 1 college basketball after officially announcing his commitment to the Arizona Wildcats on Wednesday, January 1, 2025.

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.

In 2020, two Ohio State football players, were accused of raping a fellow female student. Amir I. Riep and Jahsen L. Wint were recently found not guilty on all charges including two counts each of rape and one count of kidnapping.

Dan Sabol and Sam Shamansky represented Riep and Wint as their defense attorneys respectively and presented the argument that sex between all parties was consensual and that the woman’s father pushed his daughter to pursue criminal charges only after she regretted her actions.

According to court records, the woman stated she began having consensual sex with Riep but changed her mind and decided to stop. She told police that Wint walked into the room and Riep asked her if Wint could join in. She then stated that Riep grabbed her by the neck, and began forcing her to have sex. She also said that Riep pinned her down while Wint forced her to have oral sex.

According to court documents, after the act was over, they were accused of forcing the the woman to state her name on camera and state that the sex between them was consensual.

Riep and Wint were arrested on February 11, 2020 and taken to the Franklin County Correction Center. Soon after, Ohio State head coach Ryan Day dismissed both players from the team.

This has been an unfortunate situation for Riep and Wint as they have been fighting this case for three years, with their entire lives, football career, and education put on hold. After the verdict was read, Riep and Wint broke down in tears.

"I'm going to get my life back on track, get my degree and keep on being a law-abiding citizen," Wint said to The Columbus Dispatch.

Wint finished the program in human development at Ohio State in 2020 but the university refused to dish out his degree until the outcome of the trial.

"I'm grateful," Riep said of the verdict. "And you grow through what you go through."

Riep still has two semesters remaining at Ohio State to graduate in sports management. Both young men will now have the opportunity to live life freely and pursue their dreams after living out a nightmare situation.

"The jury did a fantastic job discerning the truth and contrasting what Amir said and what his accuser said," Dan Sabol said. "It took a long time, but the system worked."
