Popular basketball Instagram page Courtside Films shared a post on Saturday asking fans which graduating high school prospects they're most excited to watch at the college level among James, AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson and former NBA star Carmelo Anthony's son Kiyan Anthony.

The post also included highlights of the four players in question.

The post attracted several reactions from fans stating their most preferred player. Some fans were, however, of the opinion that James does not belong among the list of elite prospects shown in that post. One fan even said Bryce wasn't going to be playing at all:

"Bryce is not gonna play😭," a fan said.
"Why is Bryce on this list?," another fan commented.

Some fans simply named the players they are most excited to watch of the four:

Five-star prospect Koa Peat set to join Bryce James at Arizona

The Arizona Wildcats have made their third recruitment in the 2025 class, with five-star prospect Koa Peat now joining Bryce James and No. 38-ranked forward Dwayne Aristotle.

Peat announced his commitment on the "The Pat McAfee Show" on Thursday. Speaking to ESPN, he said:

"I chose Arizona, head coach Tommy Lloyd and his staff because I know I will be pushed," Peat said. "It's a winning program, and all I want to do is win."

Peat, who is currently ranked No. 9-ranked in the ESPN Top 100, chose the Wildcats over other top programs like Baylor, Houston, Arizona State and Texas, among others.
