Bronny James is in the middle of the season with Sierra Canyon, he has a string of cards, but he must also think about his future and the best way to join the NBA. So he just revealed the three universities he would like to join next season, and it’s a safe bet that LeBron has had a huge influence on this trio.
Bronny James has never been closer to playing in the NBA. Expected at the turning point this season at Sierra Canyon, since he was to take control of this team, the King’s eldest son perfectly meets the hopes of observers by establishing himself as one of the best high school students in the United States. According to the ranking of the prestigious magazine SLAM, he would be the 28th prospect of his age group to be precise.
While this may seem low for those who expected to see him close to the podium thanks to his name and reputation, this position in the Top 30 still allows him to receive many offers in the NCAA, including some from the the most prestigious universities of the university circuit. A few weeks before his final decision, he has just given the three finalists who could welcome him at the start of the school year.
Bronny James hesitates between USC, Ohio State and Oregon!

Bronny James will commit to a university at the end of the season, and his three favorite schools are Ohio State, USC and Oregon
Bronny James is coveted by all the top universities in the United States, which makes sense when you see what he produces on the field, and his choice should be USC, Oregon, or Ohio State, three institutions with which he is linked. If he gets involved with South California, it’s to stay close to his family and evolve in an environment he knows well. To be good on the pitch you have to feel good about yourself, so he would leave with a good advantage.
But beware, he could also return to his native Ohio by signing with the Buckeyes, LeBron’s favorite university. The latter would no doubt have dreamed of playing there in his teens, so he could convince his eldest to make the name of “James” shine in Cleveland and its surroundings. His NBA ambition would not be thwarted by this choice, since D’Angelo Russell, former Ohio State, was selected with the 2nd pick of the 2015 Draft.
Finally there is Oregon, and it is perhaps the most credible option for the young King. Indeed, Phil Knight, the founder of the Nike brand, was educated there, and today he continues to spend hundreds of millions to build state-of-the-art sports facilities. Not only could Bronny develop in infrastructures worthy of the NBA, but he could especially make a profit its partnership with the comma brand.
Next season, Bronny James should play either next to LeBron in California, or at his favorite university in Ohio State, or on campus funded by Nike, their equipment supplier. In any case, the King should make many moves.
