The University of Arizona has secured its class of 2025. With the signings of Bryce James, Brayden Burries and Koa Peat announced earlier this week, the Wildcats have four ranked high school graduates-set to enter the program.James, the son of LeBron James, is a 6-foot-4, three-star shooting guard who hails from Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth, California.
The same alma mater of many other children of NBA players, including Bronny James, Scotty Pippen Jr. and KJ Martin, James is hoping to follow their footsteps into the NBA.While he's the best-known of the Arizona signees and may come with the most fanfare, he hasn't shown the same on-court dominance as the other players.
Burries, a five-star guard from Roosevelt (Eastvale, Calif.), averaged nearly 30 points per game this season as he led the Mustangs to a state championship. Koa Peat, from in-state Perry High School (Gilbert, Ariz.
), led the Pumas to four straight championships, creating a dynasty in Arizona.The program posted graphics and videos of all three after they signed.Bryce has officially signed 🐻⬇️ pic.
