James, the eldest son of NBA legend LeBron James, committed to USC in May following a long recruitment involving several schools. In the end, James committed to the Trojans to stay close to home in Los Angeles. The 6’ 3” combo guard was a McDonald’s All-American and was one of the consensus top 25 recruits in the country.
