USC coach -- Bronny James' parents are not hovering - ESPN

LOS ANGELES — Andy Enfield understands the magnitude of his task this fall as the head coach at USC, where Bronny James — the eldest son of LeBron James — will play. But he does not feel the NBA superstar hovering as he does his job.

LeBron and his wife, Savannah, have been «extremely supportive» of their son's decision to join the Trojans for the 2023-24 season, Enfield recently told ESPN exclusively at his home in Los Angeles.

«Well, Savannah and LeBron have been extremely supportive of Bronny and his decision to come to USC,» Enfield said. «They have a great understanding of what it takes to become a great player. I think the expectations — there are certainly expectations — but the expectations are not unreasonable as parents. They want what most other parents want. They want their son to come get an education, develop on the basketball court, play with other good players and to have a coaching staff that can help them develop and help him become a better player. We think, as coaching staff, LeBron and Savannah have a great understanding of what it's going to take for Bronny to be a great college player and get to the next level.»

Bronny, a four-star prospect who is ranked 19th in the 2023 class on ESPN.com, will join a roster that's stacked with talent and capable of reaching the NCAA tournament. Isaiah Coller, the No. 1 prospect in the 2023 class on ESPN.com, is expected to be the starting point guard next to veteran Boogie Ellis, who averaged 17.7 PPG last season. Kobe Johnson (9.2 PPG, 5.0 RPG) could have a breakout season and D.J. Rodman, son of former Chicago Bulls star Dennis Rodman, will arrive from Washington State as a key transfer.

Enfield said Bronny's high basketball IQ, skill set and defensive tools
