Being LeBron James‘ son has got to be the most rewarding as well as the scariest prospect because there will always be expectations to be like him. As Bron is nearing his retirement, this might not be the end of the road for the James name in the NBA as both his sons Bronny and Bryce are following in his footsteps, trying to make a career playing pro basketball.

Bryce, 16, was enrolled in Sierra Canyon School in LA until he transferred to Campbell Hall School for his high school junior year, where he played basketball for the school. During the fall, Bryce decided to transfer again, this time to Notre Dame/Sherman Oaks. Turns out, after just three months there, he is now going back to square one and returning to Sierra Canyon. Just hours after his exit from Notre Dame, there has been a dip in his NIL Value.

Bryce’s NIL valuation dips

Bryce signed a NIL contract with Klutch Sports in December of 2022, making him the highest-valued player in high school basketball NIL ranking. His current valuation stands at $1.2 million but following his decision to leave Notre Dame, Bryce’s value has dropped by $742. His value did not take a massive hit as the number suggests, but if we trace it back a little, it looks like Bryce has been struggling to make a breakthrough.

In the recently announced ‘Top 25 High School Players’ list, Bryce failed to secure himself a spot on the list. Carrying the name of James comes with its own perks and drawbacks. Living up to his father’s name has got to be the toughest of them all, and Bryce seems to be struggling to find his own spark. To cut him some slack, he is still only 16 and has a long way to go before attaining a substantial milestone in his basketball career. Until then, all eyes are on him and his brother Bronny who are both eyeing the big league.

Bryce was not eligible to play in Notre Dame

Bryce missed half of the basketball season in his first year at Notre Dame due to transfer rules. Usually, the regulations only provide instant eligibility in the event that the student-athlete relocates. In his case, his family did not move; this made him ineligible. Bryce is now returning to Sierra Canyon, where he was eligible to play.

He may be able to play for Sierra Canyon as early as next week, as he did not participate in any games for Notre Dame. The youngest of James’ spns has already received college offers from Duquesne and Ohio State, and those are just the initial offers.
