"Your silent hustle has definitely not gone unnoticed!" - Bryce James' mother Savannah James on his college commitment
NBA legend LeBron James announced his son Bryce James' commitment to Arizona in January. Reacting to the announcement, Savannah James, LeBron's wife and Bryce's mom, shared a heartfelt message of support for her son on Instagram.
"So proud of you @_justbryce!!" she wrote. "Your silent hustle has definitely not gone unnoticed!! I'm so excited for you and I can't wait to cheer you on through this journey!"
Bryce chose the Wildcats over offers from other colleges like Ohio State, Duquesne and USC. He was the second commit at the time of his commitment. While many predicted that he would join USC, his brother Bronny James' alma mater, he ended up choosing the Wildcats.
According to 247Sports analyst Jason Scheer, Bryce was drawn to Arizona as a result of the program's overall approach.
"James took an unofficial to Arizona and came away impressed with the overall campus and approach of the program," he wrote following Bryce's commitment announcement.
Bryce will be under the tutelage of Wildcat's head coach Tommy Lloyd next season.
