Breaking News: Bryce James and Koa Peat Set to Make Waves in Collegiate Basketball

In a move that’s sending shockwaves through the basketball world, Bryce James, son of four-time NBA champion LeBron James, is set to join the Arizona Wildcats next season. He’ll be joined by five-star recruit Koa Peat, ranked No. 8 in the Class of 2025, according to On3’s Industry Rankings. This dynamic duo is poised to take the collegiate basketball scene by storm.

Koa Peat, a seasoned veteran of USA Basketball, has been named to the 18-member squad representing the country at the World Cup in Switzerland. His impressive performance at the 2025 USA Basketball Men’s U19 National Team training camp has caught the attention of coaches and fans alike. "Koa Peat is a veteran of USA Basketball, and the competition that this setting brings," said On3’s Jamie Shaw. "The former Five-Star Plus+ forward has won a gold medal in each of the past three summers. Listed at 6-foot-8, the forward has a robust skill set."

Shaw praised Peat’s ball-handling and rebounding abilities, noting that he’s "comfortable initiating the offense or playing as an offensive hub with the ball in his hands." Peat’s physical presence and ability to finish plays at and above the rim have made him a force to be reckoned with on the court. While his jump shot remains a work in progress, his production and impact on the game are undeniable.

As Team USA prepares to face off against Australia, France, and Cameroon in Group D, they’ll be led by Arizona Wildcats head coach Tommy Lloyd and assistant coaches Grant McCasland and Micah Shrewsberry. With a 4-2 record against Australia and 6-1 against France, the team is looking to make a strong showing in the tournament.

In related news, Arizona center Carter Bryant announced his decision to enter the 2025 NBA Draft, eliciting reactions from Bryce James, Koa Peat, and Brayden Burries. The Wildcats have also signed Dwayne Aristode from Brewster Academy, further bolstering their roster.

With their impressive skills and talented teammates, this team is one to watch. Will they make a deep run in the tournament, or will they face challenges along the way?
