Where Is Bronny James Going To College? Nike NIL Endorsed Athlete To Pick Between 10 Universities

The day is not far when we would see Bronny James playing college basketball, and Ohio is doing its best to see to it that he plays for them.

LeBron James Jr. a.k.a Bronny James was among the Top-20 recruits in the 247 Sports Composite rankings back in 2020 because of his better build than his fellow recruits.

That is not the case anymore with the class of 2023, he is now ranked 49th by 247Sports and No. 43 in the 247Sports Composite, yet he has offers from at least five top colleges.

According to ESPN’s Basketball Recruiting Expert, Paul Biancardi, the Sierra Canyon guard has offers from Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio State, USC and Oregon.

And it’s been a trending question since then where the first successor of NBA’s active GOAT will take his talents to. We might have an answer to that now.

Even if Bronny just visited the game because of his dad, or he wanted to pay a visit to see what it would be to play in the city where he was born and his father before him, now it would be a bit hard for him to choose another college over Ohio State.

Now, whether the reported 4-star recruit goes with emotions or plays smart like his dad has done in his 19-year top-notch NBA career will be an exciting thing to watch out for in the next few days.
