The University of Arizona is a basketball school. The Wildcats are consistently one of the top teams in College Basketball, and have a proud history to back up their success.

The team is used to pulling the cream of the crop in their recruiting classes, but they just landed a player that could change their history forever.

Who is Bryce James?

Sure, it's a common last name, but any basketball player with the last name "James" will likely make you think of Los Angeles Lakers Star LeBron James. This is no coincidence.

Bryce James is, in fact, LeBron's son, and brother to NBA newcomer Bronny James. This is a massive get to the Wildcats, as every single James has been electric through their entire college career, and nothing seems to be different about Bryce.

What Does James Bring to the Table?

Aside from the name, which will likely bring in a larger interest to the already wildly popular Wildcats basketball program, Bryce brings technical proficiency to the court unlike any player we've seen as of late.

He ranks as the number 47 player in the nation at his position for his graduating class, and had offers from juggernauts like Ohio State and Duquesne. His proficiency is at the three-point line, where he's automatic, much like his father.

Bryce is not the High School superstar his father was, but no one will be. What he is is a driven, competitive young man with something to prove, and that's exactly what the Wildcats need to jump start their program, which has sputtered as of late.

Bryce James will begin play with the Wildcats in the 2025-26 season.
