Bronny James has continued to make noise with his improved play throughout the high school basketball ranks. The talented combo guard is still uncomitted when it comes to making a decision on where he can play his collegiate basketball.
At 6'4", Bronny is a bit shorter than his father, LeBron James. But his play on the court during the 2022-23 season has shown some intriguing upside and has been considered the 28th overall prospect when it comes to ESPN's high school basketball player rankings.
He's reportedly been weighing offers from a number of promising universities, including Oregon and Ohio State. In a recent update from ESPN NBA draft expert Jonathan Givony, Bronny James was projected as a preseason Top-10 selection for the 2024 NBA draft.

3 Potential Rivals for Bronny James in college
Justin Edwards
One of the top names going into the 2023-24 college basketball season is 6'7" wing Justin Edwards. Although he doesn't play the same position as Bronny James, Justin Edwards should be the talk of the NCAA with his intriguing skills.
He is on his way to Kentucky to join one of the most dominant classes that head coach John Calipari has had in recent memory. He's the number one recruit in the country and has been projected as a top-4 selection for the 2024 NBA draft.
Isaiah Collier
The number three ranked prospect in high school basketball has been point guard Isaiah Collier. Listed at 6'4", Collier has a bundle of tools that makes him one of the top floor general prospects in the 2023 class.
He's off to USC to suit up for the Trojans for the 2023-24 season.
Collier was considering offers from other prestigious schools such as Michigan and UCLA. When it comes to his game on the court, he stands out with his intelligence, feel for the game and overall strength on both sides.
He was recently projected to be the fifth overall pick in ESPN's future 2024 NBA mock draft.
D.J. Wagner
One of the biggest names in the high school basketball ranks over the years has been combo guard D.J. Wagner. The 6'2" guard is heading to Kentucky to suit up for the Wildcats. There, Wagner will join Justin Edwards and Aaron Bradshaw in a stacked freshman class that features three of the top four recruits in the country.
Kentucky has the tools to be one of the most exciting teams in college basketball next season. If Bronny James is heading to college, any chance at contending for a national championship will most likely have to deal with Kentucky on the way.
Wagner is a physical guard who has continued to impress with his physicality and desire to finish around the basket.
He should be a name that continues to intrigue basketball fans and NBA scouts moving forward. Wagner was recently projected to be the seventh overall pick in an early 2024 NBA mock draft projection by ESPN.
