Fans were skeptical about Bryce James' potential impact in the game, suggesting he might not even see any playing time.

"Bryce aint getting in. Sadly," One fan said.
"Is Bryce actually getting playing time?" Another asked.
"Bryce ain't gettin no damn PT 🤣🤣." Another fan said.

Some fans even argued that the spotlight shouldn't be on Bryce at all, pointing out that Arizona has other highly rated signees.

"Should have said AJ Dybantsa, Koa Peat to make college debuts!!" One fan said.
"This Bryce James playing at Arizona stuff needs to stop..he average 6pts a game in high school and there's 2 top 10 seniors coming in and we're talking about Bryce James, that's just silly." Another fan said
"Bryce isn't even the best recruit Zona got, I'll be paying attention to Brayden Burries," Said another.

Bryce was more or less a bench player during his time with the Sierra Canyon Trailblazers in high school. However, his move to Arizona is the beginning of a new chapter, one that comes with a fresh opportunity for him to step out of the shadows and prove himself.
