There has been a rumor going around social media on Monday morning regarding Ohio State men’s basketball, LeBron James and his high school star son, Bryce James.
It’s an interesting one which revolves around who could be chosen as the next Buckeyes hoops head coach. As great as interim caretaker, Jake Diebler has been, it’s highly unlikely that he takes over the program on a full-time basis.
The rumor, according to CFB Focus’ social media page, has the Los Angeles star LeBron wanting Florida Atlantic coach, Dusty May, to be named the next head coach. If that were to happen, the rumor goes on to say that James would make a huge donation to OSU along with most likely sending his son Bryce to play for May and OSU.
A quick nugget on the OSU basketball coaching search (though if the Buckeyes keep playing the way they have lately maybe the search won't be needed):
One name that has come up is FAU coach Dusty May, and he is the guy LeBron James is pushing for. Word is that if OSU does end up…

This is a pretty out-there rumor, but May has been attached to the Buckeye coaching gig. As for Bryce, at 6-foot, 4-inches, and 180-pounds, he wouldn’t come in with the same hype as his brother Bronny, but would still be a solid player. He’s ranked as the No. 22 shooting guard and 156th overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.
