It'd be a shock if CJ Rosser doesn't draw significant interest from the UNC basketball program and fellow Tobacco Road blueblood Duke.
Northern Nash High School sophomore sensation CJ Rosser is the No. 1 prospect in the 2027 class, per Rivals, and No. 2 in the eyes of ESPN. And it's likely only a matter of time before the 6-foot-8, 190-pound long-limbed forward lands somewhere near the center of the UNC basketball recruiting radar.
So, perhaps it'll be another six months or more before they potentially extend an offer to Rosser, whose school is roughly a 70-minute drive from Chapel Hill, or any other top-tier talents among the nation's current crop of sophomores.Matt Giles is the editor and publisher of North Carolina Tar Heels on SI, Duke Blue Devils on SI, and NC State Wolfpack on SI, making him a key source for comprehensive coverage of these storied college basketball programs.
