Kentucky Coaches Fish for Top Recruit in Orlando

Kentucky basketball coach Mark Pope and his team took an unconventional approach to recruiting, inviting top prospect CJ Rosser on a fishing trip in Orlando. Rosser, a five-star power forward, has received offers from top schools like Arkansas, Texas A&M, Louisville, Michigan, and Duke. Kentucky first extended an offer in May 2025, and Rosser visited Lexington unofficially in February. In the EYBL session, Rosser averaged 12.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, 1.7 blocks, 1.3 assists, and 1.3 steals per game, solidifying his elite status. Popes team is determined to secure a top-ten commit, and this personal touch could be the key to landing a game-changer for the Wildcats.
