- Jizzle James has been removed from the Charlotte 49ers men's basketball roster after transferring there this offseason, a source told CBS Sports' Matt Norlander, with his name disappearing from the official team page.
- Edgerrin James, the Hall of Fame running back who played for the Indianapolis Colts and is Jizzle's father, posted on his Instagram story on Monday saying his son is 'dealing with substance abuse and is not in the right state of mind right now.'
- Edgerrin James asked the public to show Jizzle love and encouragement but explicitly urged people not to give him 'money, valuables, or anything material,' writing that 'you're not helping him by feeding the problem.'
- Jizzle James was dismissed from Cincinnati before the 2025-26 season due to personal issues, was added back to the Bearcats roster in mid-December, and played 23 games before following former coach Wes Miller to Charlotte.
- Jizzle James arrived at Charlotte as a four-star transfer in the 247Sports rankings after Wes Miller left Cincinnati to lead the 49ers program this offseason.
Why it matters: A four-star recruit with an NFL legend as a father, Jizzle James had the pedigree and a fresh start at Charlotte after leaving Cincinnati — making his removal from the 49ers roster and his father's candid disclosure of substance abuse a significant loss for the program and a sobering reminder that personal struggles can derail even the most promising college careers.
