In his sophomore season James appeared in only eight games, averaging 0.8 points and 1.9 rebounds in 4.8 minutes per game.

The 7-foot, 220-pound center from Artesia, California was not ranked coming out of high school and only had one offer from a D1 school which was South Carolina State.
As a grad transfer, James will have one year of eligibility remaining.
