LeBron James' 10-Year-Old Son Already Receiving College Offers?

Similar to his father, 10-year-old LeBron James Jr. is showing a lot of potential in playing basketball, and colleges are already seeing it.

According to Bleacher Report, Cleveland superstar LeBron James said about his son, "He plays just like I did. He has great awareness, and he'd rather pass first and set guys up. Most kids nowadays just want to score."

The younger LeBron and his team took the first place at the 2014 Ronald Searles Holiday Classic. A video on YouTube showed the young Chips player in his green and yellow jersey wearing No. 0, doing a variety of shots, fancy dribbles, clean dishes and strong rebounds. More videos of his games spread on the internet, garnering the attention of many scouts and colleges.

Coach John Calipari of Kentucky and Thad Matta of Ohio State watched James Jr. play and said that they are already observing the young player. Some were not actually surprised that the 10-year-old already received a number of offers from colleges, based on a report by ESPN. Some are holding out an offer until he gets older.

Cleveland.com reported that LeBron James, however, thinks it's crazy that his son is already getting college scholarship opportunities.

"Yeah, he's already got some offers from colleges. It's pretty crazy. It should be a violation. You shouldn't be recruiting 10-year-old kids," James said in a report by CBS Detroit.

He added, "My son is going to be a kid as long as he can be. That's all he needs to worry about. He loves to play the game of basketball, he loves to play video games, he loves to do his homework. That's all that matters. Everything else doesn't matter. He loves his brother, his sister, his dad, his mom, his grandmom. Let him be a kid."

James Jr. is currently in fourth grade. Another video shown by Cleveland.com presented the boy's amazing basketball talents during the John Lucas All-Star Weekend in New Orleans, where the younger James' team won the tournament.

Bleacher Report also mentioned that LeBron never got to enter or play college, since he moved straight from high school to the NBA. Since that time, the NBA has changed its rules, requiring players to let one year pass at least after graduating from high school before being accepted in the league.

When asked if his son has any basketball idols, James replied, "I don't know, I haven't asked him in awhile. Hopefully I'm doing my part."
