Bryce James, the younger son of LeBron James, has committed to Arizona as part of the Wildcats’ 2025 class.

James made his announcement on Instagram with the caption, “100% committed.”

James, a four-star prospect from Sierra Canyon (Calif.), also had offers from Ohio State and Duquesne. The Dukes were his first offer, which he extended in the summer of 2022, and in the fall of 2023, James took an unofficial visit to Ohio State. He also recently paid an unofficial visit to Arizona.

In 14 games last spring with the Strive For Greatness grassroots program on the Nike EYBL circuit, James averaged 6.9 points and 2.2 rebounds while shooting 39% from the field and 36.8% in 22.0 minutes per game. shot from 3-point range. He made multiple 3-pointers in seven games, most notably a 21-point, six-rebound shot against NightRydas Elite while shooting 5-for-9 from behind the arc.

He played five games with SFG at the Nike Peach Jam, averaging 5.6 points. Against NightRydas Elite he again showed his best performance and scored 12 points in 23 minutes.

Last June, James was also invited to the U.S. Basketball U17 National Team training camp.

James’ older brother Bronny played one season at USC before turning pro. Bronny suffered cardiac arrest during a team practice the summer before his freshman year, impacting his only season with the Trojans. He was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round of the NBA draft last June.

Arizona now has two players in its 2025 recruiting class, with James joining top-25 prospect Dwayne Aristode, who committed to the Wildcats in October and put pen to paper during the early signing period. Tommy Lloyd has three high-profile targets left in the 2025 class, including Koa Peat (No. 8 in the ESPN 100), Brayden Burries (No. 10) and Alijah Arenas (No. 15), who was recently reclassified from the 2026 class the upper class.
