The USC Trojans saw Bronny James enter the transfer portal along with a flurry of others following Eric Musselman becoming the new head coach. Bronny also declared the NBA Draft but kept his college eligibility open while entering the portal, so there are a lot of different scenarios for the son of LeBron James.
Does he go to the NBA? Does he decide to return to USC? Or does he go elsewhere?
Andy Patton of College Sports Wire laid out some destinations for Bronny, including the NBA, and had UCLA as one of the choices. Here’s what Patton said:
If Bronny wants to stay in the LA area near his family, but he is ready to move on from USC, he could follow in the footsteps of teammate Kobe Johnson and transfer to UCLA.
Mick Cronin’s team already added Johnson and Skyy Clark via the portal, but coming off a disappointing 16-17 season this team could use all the offensive firepower they can find. Cronin isn’t one to promise playing time, so Bronny will have to fight to get minutes, but the fit is there if he is willing to jump ship to the other LA school.
Whether or not Bronny James returns to college remains to be seen, although his NBA Draft stock isn’t very promising after the year USC had.
So, there is a chance Bronny stays in LA and plays for the Bruins.
