Bronny James is widely regarded as one of the most intriguing young basketball prospects in the nation.
Although being the son of LeBron James obviously boosts his stock to no small degree, Bronny has also done a good job of distinguishing himself from his peers with his stellar play.
Not long ago, a recruiting expert gave a brutally honest assessment of Bronny’s game, and it essentially confirmed that he was living up to the hype.
Now the question becomes: what comes next?
Bronny is currently a junior and has two years of high school left. College is just around the corner.
And it appears that he is legitimately interested in four schools.
According to Eric Bossi of 247 Sports, the schools in question are Duke, Ohio State, Tennessee and Texas.
In the past Bronny had also seemingly expressed interest in Kentucky and North Carolina, but it appears enthusiasm for those programs has waned.
One of the qualities that really stands out about Bronny is his toughness. He has bounced back impressively from a horrific injury already, and has shown a similarly strong will when bouncing back from bad performances on the court.
That is an important trait that cannot be taught.
LeBron James has made it no secret that he wants to play in the NBA alongside Bronny one day. In order for that to occur, a fairly strict plan needs to be followed. A key part of that plan is Bronny going pro ASAP sans college.
At the moment, however – Bronny seems to have his eye on going to school.
Will that change over the next couple of years? Time will tell.
