Bronny James, the son of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, plans to enter the NCAA’s transfer portal after one season at USC, according to basketball journalist Dick Weiss.<\/p>\n

James\u2019 expected departure from the Trojans comes after Andy Enfield, the team\u2019s head coach, took the same job at SMU. Enfield had been USC\u2019s head coach 11 seasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Trojans finished 15-18 (8-12 in Pac-12 play) this season and didn\u2019t earn a berth in the NCAA Tournament despite their talent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

James played 25 games, earning six starts, in his true freshman season. He averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists, while shooting 36.6% from the field.\u00a0<\/p>\n

James missed the first eight games of the season for the Trojans after a sudden cardiac arrest in July during the team\u2019s offseason workouts. He played with a minutes restriction once he returned.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He made his debut against Long Beach State and dropped four points with three rebounds, two assists and two steals. James also looked just like his father on a blocked shot, chasing down his opponent from behind to swat it away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The expectations have been high for James since his high school days at Sierra Canyon in Los Angeles. He came out of high school a four-star recruit, and On3 had him ranked No. 25 in the country for his 2023 class.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There was speculation James would declare for the NBA Draft following his freshman season if all went well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

James still hasn’t made his intentions known, though entering the transfer portal could point to him wanting to get a fresh start somewhere else in college.\u00a0<\/p>\n
