As the class of 2024 gears up to declare their colleges and sharpen their skills as NBA players, all eyes are on young prospects to see what place they chose to develop.
Bronny, being the son of LeBron James, would have plenty of options at his disposal. But as time has passed, it looks as though he is the only one left standing.
Bronny the prodigy, is the only one left
As per the latest commit, it looks as though Bronny James is the highest-ranked uncommitted prospect left in his draft class.

A slew of sponsorships and the weight of the name combined helped push him past everyone else. Bronny has offers from a lot of places but as per this tweet, these are his most likely landing spots.
Hard to get concrete info to be honest, but Oregon, Michigan, Memphis, USC have all been linked in various capacities. Also visited Ohio State, obvious connection there
