USC freshman forward Bronny James is still undecided on his future, despite a recent report that he was entering the transfer portal.
Bronny is the son of NBA legend LeBron James. He was a five-star recruit in the class of 2023, ranked as the No. 22 player in the class, the No. 5 combo-guard, and the No. 4 recruit from the state of California.

The highly touted recruit played just 19.3 minutes per game for the Trojans in 2023-24. In that time he averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.8 steals, along with a clip of 36% shooting and 26% from three.
James and the rest of the USC roster are in a bit of an up-and-down situation after head coach Andy Enfield left for the head coach job at SMU. Enfield went 15–18 (8–12 Pac-12) after a disappointing 2023–24 season – USC missed the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2019.
The Trojans are still in the process of finding a new coach.
Can’t confirm the Bronny James story guys. Still think it’s an idea whose time has come. If this happens then understand. I love that kid, I think he can be a star somewhere else.

Other than USC joining the Big Ten for the 2024-25 basketball season, there is no real Wisconsin connection here. This story is worth watching as the Trojans and Badgers become conference teammates.
