No. 1 recruit CJ Rosser trims list and schedules visit with Kentucky Basketball

No. 1 overall recruit CJ Rosser has narrowed down his college basketball prospects to seven schools, with Kentucky Basketball being one of them. Alongside Mark Pope’s Kentucky, the others include North Carolina, Louisville, Arkansas, Miami, NC State, and USC. The 6-foot-10 forward, who stands out with his versatile skills, 7-foot-3 wingspan, and a physical presence, has scheduled visits to all seven of these programs, making Kentucky’s Big Blue Madness event a two-day visit on October 1 and 2.

Coming off a strong EYBL season where he averaged 16.6 points per game, shot 38% from the field, 18% from three-point range, and 69% from the free-throw line, Rosser is not an easy opponent to leave open. He can finish at the rim, launch high-flying dunks, and catch tricky lobs. Kentucky fans first learned about Rosser when Mark Pope and assistant coach Mikhail McLean went fishing with the 27-year-old recruit, showing their commitment to getting to know him both on and off the court.
