It’s been a while since Bryce James exploded onto the scene. The youngest son of LeBron James has had a massive jump in his height and game and due to that, he has arrived in the spotlight as well. And according, Bryce has received his first D1 offer and fans are going wild.
Last night, Bryce announced on Instagram that he had received his first D1 offer from Duquesne University Men’s Basketball. The university is located in Pittsburgh and the basketball team has made five appearances in the NCAA tournament. It seems unlikely that Bryce would accept the first offer he gets, but nevertheless, it is nice to see Bryce getting recognized this early.

It’s not common for 15-year-olds to get offers from D1 schools. But when you are the son of LeBron, these things tend to happen. This does not take anything away from the talent of Bryce.

Bryce and Bronny both are in the spotlight now
A couple of years ago, Bronny James exploded onto the scene and he has been in the spotlight ever since. And with LeBron saying he wants to play with his son in the NBA, the spotlight grew further. His steps were followed and watched closely.
And then Bryce came into the picture. Bryce had a massive growth spurt this year, and he is already taller than his brother. Many say that Bryce may even have a higher ceiling than Bronny. The two brothers often come to each other’s games and support each other. And they even play with each other when they get the opportunity. Currently, the two brothers are over in Europe playing a few games.

LeBron is also seen supporting his sons in any way possible. Last month, he arranged a training session with Phil Handy, the Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach. He will have a decision on his hands soon as both his sons are balling right now. And LeBron may have an opportunity to make history as he could play with both his sons.
