LOS ANGELES (AP)-- Bronny James, the 18-year-old child of Los Angeles Lakers super star LeBron James, is succeeding and going to classes after the extremely concerned freshman guard went into heart attack during a workout last month, Southern California basketball coach Andy Enfield said Monday.

" The great thing is he's doing extremely well and he's in class right now. And we all enjoy him," Enfield said.

The James household released a statement Friday saying a genetic heart flaw was the likely cause of James' cardiac arrest. The declaration stated the heart defect can be dealt with which the household is positive in James' capability to make a full healing and return to the court in the future.

James was hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and launched 3 days after being stricken on July 24.

" Our goal is to support Bronny in any way we can academically, athletically, and be patient with how things establish in his return," Enfield said.

James, a 6-foot-3 guard, devoted to USC in May and boosted what was already among the nation's leading recruiting classes. He is the 6th McDonald's All-American to sign up with the program considering that Enfield became coach in 2013.

The Trojans had the nation's fourth-ranked recruiting class, consisting of the top-rated gamer in guard Isaiah Collier.

Enfield said the pitch to James and his family wasn't various compared to other recruits.

" He's a great basketball gamer and was playing extremely well (prior to the cardiac arrest). We all think there is a huge advantage in his video game and he can assist our team win," Enfield said. "It was a little later in the recruiting cycle and also was different due to the fact that he originates from a pretty good basketball family. It really didn't change our recruiting pitch because we're really sincere with people and showed him a chance that we believed he could have here at USC. His parents were terrific through the entire recruiting process and have actually been extremely supportive considering that.".

Enfield also said he was pleased with his group's advancement throughout a recent trip to Europe that saw his team play games in Greece and Croatia.

Fifth-year senior guard Boogie Ellis has accepted the role of being a group co-captain while Collier and forward DJ Rodman, a graduate transfer from Washington State, got to mesh with new colleagues in game situations.

Enfield said Collier is one of the best passers he has actually seen come out of high school in a while Rodman can be a hazard with his abilities on offense.

Ohio's 'Joe the Plumber' dies at 49.

The player who made the greatest strides on the journey was junior guard Kobe Johnson, a co-captain who balanced 9.3 points last season.

" He's the very best defensive player in our league and also enhanced his offense," Enfield said.

USC-- which has made the last three NCAA Tournaments-- will have a tough nonconference schedule before beginning its last campaign in the Pac-12. The Trojans open against Kansas State in Las Vegas on Nov. 6 and will play in a Thanksgiving week tournament in San Diego that consists of Seton Hall, Iowa and Oklahoma.
