Earlier this month, Bronny James announced that he’s committing to the USC Trojans for the 2023-24 season.
Bronny, the son of NBA star LeBron James, is a four-star recruit from the 2023 class. He’ll join a roster that also includes Isiah Collier, Boogie Ellis, Kobe Johnson and DJ Rodman.
Since Bronny is the son of one of the greatest athletes of all time, there’ll be a ton of pressure on USC to content next season.
Speaking to ESPN this week, USC basketball coach Andy Enfield revealed that he’s not feeling an unbearable amount of pressure. That’s because LeBron and Savannah James have been supportive of Bronny and the Trojans.
“Well, Savannah and LeBron have been extremely supportive of Bronny and his decision to come to USC,” Enfield told ESPN. “They have a great understanding of what it takes to become a great player. I think the expectations – there are certainly expectations – but the expectations are not unreasonable as parents. They want what most other parents want. They want their son to come get an education, develop on the basketball court, play with other good players and to have a coaching staff that can help them develop and help him become a better player.
“We think, as coaching staff, LeBron and Savannah have a great understanding of what it’s going to take for Bronny to be a great college player and get to the next level.”
USC head coach Andy Enfield opened up about the magnitude of coaching an NBA superstar's son, and how supportive LeBron and Savannah have been of Bronny.

It must be a relief for Enfield that he doesn’t have to deal with additional pressure from LeBron and Savannah.
As for whether or not USC will live up to expectations, that’s up to Enfield and his staff.
