Top USC commit hopes to recruit Bronny James - "I'm just telling him he can stay home, that's all I've got to say"

Bronny James has not announced where he intends to play college basketball next season. Five-star recruit and fellow McDonald's All-American Isaiah Collier recently revealed that he has been attempting to recruit Bronny to stay close to home and join him with the USC Trojans. Speaking with Eric Bossi of 247 Sports, shared that he definitely wants to play with the son of future Hall of Famer LeBron James before adding:

​

"He’s a great shooter. I feel like he's one of the best all-around players in the country. So, he’s a great player and knows how to play the game, and he's not going to overdo anything. … I'm looking forward to [playing with him], and I'm definitely trying to recruit him. I'm just telling him he can stay home, that's all I've got to say.”

The younger James has reportedly narrowed his choices down to the USC Trojans, Oregon Ducks and Ohio State Buckeyes. The authenticity of that list, however, is unclear as the James family is known to keep things tight lipped. It was recently reported that LeBron would return from his month-long absence in the final week of the season. The LA Lakers star quickly denied those rumors and made his return later in the week.

Oregon Ducks' commit also recruiting Bronny James

Isaiah Collier is not the only McDonald's All-American who has used the week as an opportunity to recruit Bronny James. Mookie Cook, who played a young LeBron James in the upcoming film Shooting Stars, is looking to have the younger James join him on the Oregon Ducks roster next season. Speaking with Bossi, Cook stated:

"His game is unbelievable. I've gotten to see it since eighth grade, seventh grade and I've thought since then that he's always been super great and has got the talent. I don't know what people are talking about him blowing up. I feel like he's been good.

"With him maybe going to Oregon, of course we want him, I want him. He's super good on both sides of the ball. He's a great point guard, he can shoot, get to the rim and pretty much do all three things. He's a good leader."

Bronny James was expected to make his decision at the conclusion of Sierra Canyon's high school season, however, there has been no update on his intentions. He remains the highest-ranked player in the class, according to both ESPN and 247 Sports, who has not announced his intentions for the upcoming season.
