There’s a new team to watch in the Bronny James sweepstakes. The star high schooler took his first official visit this past weekend, and it has one particular fanbase fired up.
James showed up in Columbus, taking a recruiting trip to Ohio State. He, along with his dad, LeBron, made an appearance at the Buckeyes’ football win over Notre Dame, which made waves on social media. Fans were chanting, “We Want Bronny,” while he watched from the sidelines.
Prior to the visit, there were rumors that Oregon was the leader in the clubhouse, but there’s been a sense of change following that visit. That feeling only grew after James posted pictures in Ohio State gear on Tuesday.
Attending Ohio State would make sense for Bronny. LeBron was born in Akron and grew up rooting for the Buckeyes. He said he would’ve picked OSU had he not gone straight to the NBA.
Maybe the Buckeyes will land the second generation of James.
Fans were pumped after seeing Bronny rock the Ohio State threads, and many are hopeful that it will lead to a Buckeyes commitment.

Can the Buckeyes land Bronny or will he spurn them for another school? It appears he also has interest in archrival Michigan, along with West Coast powers USC, UCLA, and Oregon.
His recruitment will continue to heat up in his senior season.
