James has been a known commodity for a few years now, having thrived in a starting role as a freshman and sophomore for a high-profile program. The athletic lefty with a high ceiling is hard to miss with his flashy home run checks, landing them largely in part due to his fantastic footwork and hands. This summer, he continued to show those flashes of brilliance. When he was on, there was no one more disruptive. The key for him, however, will be becoming more consistent with his fundamentals.

“In my opinion, he’s just scratching the surface,” according to one veteran coach. “There’s so much potential… what will he look like if he spends time in the weight room? He plays against great competition and certainly has the feet, so he’ll continue to develop.”

It’s no secret that Syracuse and Carolina are the two teams to beat for James’ services, but don’t rule out the Big 10.
