USC Trojans projected to be landing spot for LeBron James

On3 isn’t the only college recruiting site to predict James to join the Trojans. 247 Sports’ Trevor Andershock gave a crystal ball prediction that James would commit to Southern California.

USC was reportedly one of James’ top three schools he’d consider committing to, per the Los Angeles Times’ Luca Evans. The other programs were Ohio State and Oregon. But according to 247 Sports, USC and Ohio State were the only two schools in his top three to make him an offer.

James, just after participating in the McDonald’s All-American Game, is set to participate in the Nike Hoop Summit in Portland, Ore., playing for Team USA on Saturday, Apr. 8.

A person close to James told Adam Zangoria of Forbes that “I’m sure he will make his decision real soon.” Additionally, Zangoria says there’s speculation that he could make a decision after the tournament this weekend.

Whenever a decision is made by Bronny, USC is the program to keep an eye on.
