    He's the son of LeBron James so if bloodlines and potential mean anything then Bronny is a good bet to be a solid college basketball player for some lucky program. His recruitment has been very low key and it's hard to know where he's headed. Looks like Ohio State might not have room for him after getting a commitment that could wrap it up for their class. Oregon was the team to beat a few weeks back. They want him. Kijani Wright being at SC helps and they both are in the same boat in my opinion by going from 5Star recruits to eventually fall in the rankings to high 4Star players. He can join Wright and play immediately at SC. Bronny hasn't been the "star recruit" that everyone expected and he may have a chip on his shoulder. I hate to say this but his recruitment reminds me of Cordell Broadus when he wasn't getting the attention from USC. Bronny hasn't been getting that either from a lot of schools even. They might have offered but.....This could push him to USC. Stay home. Also I know Centennial were just on a tear but I don't like the fact that Bronny didn't score a bucket and was shut down in that last game. Similar to Broadus not doing much in big games at Goreman that made teams back off. Bronny gotta bring it this time in the big games. Oregon will continue pushing the Nike involvement, but SC can point to the recent success of NBA talent that might be enough. If Isaiah Collier commits thats gotta make LeBron and Bronny say "We better take another look at SC".
    I don’t see any evidence that USC or Oregon is trying to sign Bronny. Perhaps Memphis is a possible destination.

        If the projected class comes to fruition, & assuming Boogie moves on, we're looking at a 2023-24 roster on paper of:

        1. Collier
        2. Demary
        3. Dixon-Waters
        4. Hornery
        5. Iwuchukwu
        6. Johnson
        7. Morgan
        8. Niagu
        9. Page
        10. Sellers
        11. Thomas
        12. White
        13. Wright

        That is a roster full of players that Bronny would be completely redundant with. He certainly wouldnt play ahead of Collier, RDW or Tre. I also cant imagine he would be ahead of Demary & you cant discount the fact that Kobe & Malik would have 2 to 3 years of experience over him. Add in that Sellers should have a defined role as a shooter & where would Bronny even slot in? And that's before we even mention the fact that someone would have to be pushed out to make room for him.

        The off-court stuff with Bronny is a wash to me. The potential benefit of being associated with LeBron vs the risk of alienating LeBron if Bronny doesn't play kind of evens out (although I think the risk is greater than the reward). That leaves you with a purely basketball decision and, given the makeup of our roster, the uncertainty of Vince's future and the scholarship crunch, the obvious answer in my opinion is to shut down 2023 recruiting unless something changes with Cody Williams or Isaiah Miranda and save the potential extra scholarship that you may gain from a transfer out for a portal big next summer.

          I can totally agree with that. I can't see any scenario where Bronny beats out any of those guys, and daddy would not like that. So i wouldn't even bother to bring him in just to boost ticket sales, that short sighted for a program to think like that!
