"Bryce has officially signed 🐻⬇️,'' the post was captioned.
His future teammates and the No. 9 and No. 10 prospects in the Class of 2025, Koa Peat and Brayden Burries, respectively, shared their reactions in the comments section of the post:
"Yessir," commented Peat.
Meanwhile, Brayden Burries reacted with two fingers crossed emojis.
James, who finished his senior year at Sierra Canyon High School, helped them to a 27-7 overall record and a 6-1 record in the California Southern Section Mission Basketball League, where they were knocked out by No. 3 prospect from the 2026 Class (according to On3's Industry Rankings), Tyron Stokes' Notre Dame in February.
However, with players including the Mingo brothers, Gavin Hightower and more, the Trailblazers clinched the 2025 CIF State Boys Basketball Championships. In the first round, Sierra Canyon sealed a 73-48 win against Centennial on Mar. 4. They faced Santa Barbara in the second round and defeated them by a 78-45 scoreline on Mar. 6.
In the Regional Semifinals, the Trailblazers defeated JSerra Catholic by a 68-64 score on Mar. 8. They faced Redondo Union and secured a 74-68 victory against them in the Regional Final on Mar. 11, before lifting the trophy against Lincoln in the State Championship match, winning the game 58-53 on Mar. 14.
Bryce James also shared a picture of the trophy on Instagram with a heartfelt caption:
"Best way to go out," he captioned the story with a teary eyed emoji.
