On Mother's Day, James posted an Ohio State-themed photo to his personal Instagram account. James posted a photo from his 2022 Buckeyes visit with his mother, Savannah, and the two of them wearing Ohio State gear. The Buckeyes were among the schools known to recruit him out of high school, and sources told The Dispatch that they planned to do so again if Bronny James stayed in college.

Bronny James is ranked as the No. 107 player in the country and a four-star prospect according to 247Sports.

The Buckeyes have a roster spot open for 2024-25 and are pursuing a center to add depth to the position behind Aaron Bradshaw, Austin Parks and players like Sean Stewart, who could see time at the position in small-ball lineups.
