    Did you guys read the article? Basically says Bronny can go wherever he wants because his Dad will just pick up the phone and pull strings. Nepotism at its worst. Ducks haven’t offered him a scholarship on his own merit.

    Casual fans of whatever school he ends up with are going to be very dissapointed when they realize Bronny's game is of a 4th-5th option role player. That's not to say he can't be of value on a good D1 team, but he's not going to come in and light the world on fire. In fact, if he goes to Oregon, there will likely be 3 other freshman who have a greater impact.

    From what I've garnered reading the mostly hype type articles about Bronny that a casual brouse through the internet turned up, he's a 6'1 long limbed, solid athlete with a spotty jumper who gets after it on D. All 3 of Oregon's signed commits from this class are ranked higher then him per rivals.

    We already knew all that before the article. You missed the original way BGD named the thread.

    Will Lebron be a big money donor to the school he plays for? If the answer is yes, sign the kid up. Also might possibly help with recruiting. Will definitely result in more media exposure. I wish he were considering OSU.

    I'm not sure I have a great NBA comparison as I feel like guys his size and with his (current) skillset, don't really play in the NBA. A 6'2" Iguodala without a shot? Jonny Flynn?

    He's ranked #35 right now so hes going only based off of nepotism. I'm not interested until he proves anything at the college level. Until then, it's a waste of time.

    Yeah i decided to actually look which for me is a stretch. The first article says he is currently projected as late first or early second round pick. The second article said they wondered if he was NBA material and might need more than one year in college. All of it seems to stand on how this season goes and how he does in his first season in college which is understandable.

    Oregon's top recruit KJ Evans weighs in on Bronny to Oregon in the interview below. One take away is that it doesn't sound like James has even visited Eugene.
