"I like the weather out here" - Bronny James drops massive hint about his next move as dad LeBron James continues to battle for playoff spot
Bronny James might have dropped a massive hint about his next move as his father LeBron James continues to battle for a playoff spot. People are waiting for Bronny's next step, which is likely to be playing college basketball next season.
In an interview with USA Today ahead of this year's Nike Hoop Summit in Portland, the 18-year-old guard was asked about his future plans. He was mum about the school he will be committing to while also discussing the recruitment process made by his peers.
"It's fun times," Bronny said. "It's good to joke with them. Talking to them, talking to coaches, it's good to know that they want me there with them. But at the end of the day it's my decision, and I need to make the right one for me."
According to 247 Sports, Bronny James has received offers from Memphis, Ohio State and USC. He has also been linked to Oregon, and being in Portland, he was asked about the possibility of playing there in his freshman year.
"It's always nice to be here," James said. "It's a nice city. I like the weather out here, gloomy rain-type weather. It's nice to be here with all the guys."
USA Today's Lindsay Schnell reported that there's speculation regarding James' decision on where to play college basketball. He could even make the announcement on Saturday after the Hoop Summit game.
