4-Star PG Jizzle James, Son of NFL HOF RB Edgerrin James, Commits to Cincinnati

Jizzle James, the son of Edgerrin James, has committed to play basketball for the University of Cincinnati.

The point guard is considered the No. 53 overall player in the class of 2023.

The Florida native had offers from Georgetown, Georgia, Ole Miss and North Carolina State, but he chose to go to the University of Cincinnati.

The guard had a great time at Cincinnati.

"It was great. It was a great environment, the fans were great, I loved the atmosphere so it was a great visit. Just being around the players and experiencing the culture, it felt like a family vibe. I got to go to a football game, I got to watch a practice, go in the weight room, I got to workout so it was cool. I learned how they were hard-nosed and got after it which is my type of style."

It helps build an exciting start to the class for head coach Wes Miller, with a 4-star forward already committing to the team.

In order to get back into the NCAA tournament, the Bearcats are adding talent.

The son of a Pro Football Hall of Fame player is going to college. Edgerrin James was selected to the Pro Bowl four times and was the 1999 offensive rookies of the year.

Jizzle James will try to emulate his father's athletic ability as he plays basketball.

James is one of several legacy players in the class of 2023, with the sons of James and others.
