LeBron James has been a national celebrity since the middle of his high school career. Because of his nearly unprecedented success in the NBA, the same is true of his oldest son.
Bronny James, who’s heading into his junior year at Sierra Canyon High in Chatsworth, Calif., has been a household name for some time now. As he inches closer toward college, speculation surrounding his basketball recruitment continues to heat up—though at least one recruiting analyst has a difficult time picturing the younger James ever lacing up his sneakers for a college basketball program.
“Now, one question I’ve been getting this week—both in the gym and over the Twittersphere … who’s recruiting Bronny James?” said Adam Finkelstein of 247Sports. "Well, I don't know that anybody's really recruiting Bronny James. I think the perception is that Bronny James is not going to play college basketball. That is not fact by any stretch. But as you sit in a college coaches’ section and you just kind of hear what coaches are saying about this, I haven’t heard anyone who’s said, ‘Yeah, we’re making a hard push for Bronny.’”
