Bronny continues to rise up the ranks.

As it stands, Bronny James Jr. is the most famous High School basketball player in the United States. Overall, there is a good reason for this. At the end of the day, he is the son of LeBron James. Although this is a huge boost, it also helps that he is a great basketball player. Throughout his Senior season, Bronny has been receiving praise for his ability to play great offense while being extremely cerebral on defense. He is the perfect two-way player, and it has college programs chomping at the bit to recruit him.

Bronny has yet to make his decision on where he wants to go. However, there are three teams that are rumored to be on his list. These teams are USC, Oregon, and Ohio State. All three programs are great and would certainly benefit from Bronny's presence. Subsequently, James is expected to declare for the NBA draft where he could be a top 10 pick. Sure, there might be pressure on the kid, but he seems to be handling it all exceptionally well.

Bronny Is On A Roll

According to a new report, it has been revealed that Bronny is now the ninth-ranked High School recruit in the nation. This is way higher than he was projected before, and it is all thanks to his improvement this season. Furthermore, it has been determined that Bronny is now a five-star recruit. While this doesn't always mean anything, it is certainly cool to see James get this designation. He has worked hard for it all season long, and he most certainly deserves it.

Late last night, LeBron took to Twitter where he made the declaration that Bronny could play in the league right now. Overall, he feels like there are some scrubs in the league and that his son can take them on. While this might be a bit overkill, there is no doubt that James has a ton of confidence in his son. Only time will tell whether or not he will eventually become a future NBA star. Let us know your thoughts on Bronny, in the comments below.
