The college basketball season is quickly coming to an end. The Final Four is this weekend and players from across the country are contemplating their next moves. Should they stay at their current school? Do they enter the NBA Draft? Should they look for a change of scenery and/or try to get some NIL money and enter the transfer portal?
One of the biggest names in the country has entered his name in the transfer portal and will possibly be looking for another situation.
Superstar Freshman Has Entered the Transfer Portal
A highly sought after recruit, Bronny James chose USC over a host of upper level college basketball programs. Everybody knows who his father is. That is well documented. Name value alone makes Bronny James a superstar and a value to most programs. According to On3’s NIL valuation, James is worth an estimated $5.7 million.Prior to enrolling at USC, it was widely speculated Bronny James would only spend one season at USC. However, it was believed he would enter the NBA Draft in an attempt to play with his father before he retires. Now Bronny has entered the transfer portal and will look to find more consistent playing time elsewhere. It has not been an easy road for James at Southern Cal. Before the season began, he suffered cardiac arrest in July. When he returned, he found it difficult to crack a pretty deep backcourt rotation for the Trojans. In 25 games, Bronny James averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.8 steals.REPORT: Bronny James plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, per @HoopsWeiss?https://t.co/rN54XHgBHi pic.twitter.com/EAdevtnrCq

Where Could James Be Heading After Hitting the Transfer Portal?

Former USC head coach Andy Enfield took the SMU head coaching position, so that could be a potential option. Ohio State made a big push for James when he was in high school. James and his family have obvious ties to the state of Ohio. Wherever he goes, he will be looking for immediate playing time and a prominant role.For More Great Content
