Many experts have tapped high school standout LeBron James to be the No. 1 pick in next June's NBA Draft, but James told reporters Thursday that he hasn't ruled out going to college.

The St. Vincent-St. Mary star senior made the comment at a news conference at the Convocation Center in Cleveland, where he was promoting the Dec. 12 Futures Game.

''It's always an option, and I narrowed my choices down to Ohio State, Florida, Duke, North Carolina and Louisville,'' James said.
