LeBron James Jr. is just 11-years-old, but he already has scholarship offers from college basketball teams. In the latest example of recruiting gone wild, ESPN reports the son of the King has standing scholarship offers from Duke and Kentucky.
"[James] raised both arms, just as he did when he pinned Iguodala's would-be layup against the glass with his right arm, and his 11-year-old son LeBron Jr. did the same (making it no wonder why he already has standing scholarship offers from both Duke and Kentucky, according to a source)," write Dave McMenamin and Brian Windhorst of ESPN.
James started to gather notice when he was just a high school sophomore. It's not the first time James has mentioned his son has scholarship offers, as he said that a year ago, when his son was just 10.
"Yeah, he's already got some offers from colleges," James told CBS Detroit in February 2015. "It's pretty crazy. It should be a violation. You shouldn't be recruiting 10-year-old kids."
Of course, LeBron Jr. is more than just the son of one of the greatest NBA players of all-time. He's a gifted basketball player himself, as he showed earlier this year.
LeBron Jr. has several years before he ends up playing at any college, but his recruitment is already shaping up to be a competitive one.
