After one season with USC that was shortened due to a medical emergency, Bronny James Jr. is reportedly entering the Transfer Portal.
LeBron James has been extra vocal about his desire to play in the NBA alongside his sons Bronny and Bryce. Bryce is currently a senior in high school and Bronny is playing basketball for the University of Southern California. Despite suffering cardiac arrest last year Bronny was able to rejoin the team and make a push towards the end of the season.
The eldest James is currently averaging 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and holds a 36% FG.
According to On3, Hall of Fame reporter Dick Weiss dropped a bombshell that Bronny was planning on entering the Transfer Portal then backtracked.
“USC freshman guard Bronny James is entering the transfer portal. Good for him. Needs to get away from the Hollywood hype. Best of luck to LeBron’s kid.” Weiss said in the now deleted tweet.
Even with Weiss backtracking his reputation for accuracy was louder than the retraction. He has been hands-on with Bronny’s college career and wouldn’t tweet something that serious without a reliable source or proof. After deleting the initial tweet he revealed he couldn’t confirm the story but cosigned the idea.
“Can’t confirm Bronny James story guys,” Weiss posted. “Still think it’s an idea whose time has come. Make sense if it happens. I love the kid, think he could be a star elsewhere.”
On, April 1 USC men’s basketball head coach Andy Enfield announced he was leaving the program after 11 seasons according to NBC Los Angeles. When a head coach leaves a mass exodus of star players usually follows. This same thing happened when Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban called it quits and students flooded the Transfer portal.
Before committing to USC LeBron’s oldest son teased a commitment to Ohio State. In his official visit alongside LeBron, fans chanted “We want Bronny” during the school’s football game.
