Sources tell me Kohl Rosario increasingly likely to reclassify to 2025 and commit to Kansas to play this year.

The Jayhawks appear likely to land the 6’5” wing over Duke, UNC, Oregon, and Miami. I’m Hearing an announcement could come in the next few days.

Here’s why landing Rosario would be a big deal:

🔥 The Late Riser: Rosario is one of the fastest-rising prospects in the country, a classic late-blooming pickup for Bill Self. He recently jumped from No. 120 to No. 45 in 247Sports’ rankings while On3 ranks him at No. 27.

🗓️ The Reclass: He was in the 2025 class but had moved back to 2026. This would be a return to his original year. He’s 18, so he’d be the expected age for a freshman if he plays this year.

⚡ The Impact: While I don’t want to overhype anyone, Rosario’s top three traits should translate quickly: three-point shooting, athleticism, and strength. It’s a good combination (as long as he can guard somebody 😏).

✅ Positional Need: All summer, the Jayhawks looked for a wing (and big) to help them this year. Rosario might not be a day one starter, but he’s gonna play.

3️⃣ Shooting ability: KU's roster has a lot of longer, athletic guards. Rosario gives KU's staff a different look — a true shooter who can also elevate.

👀 The Archetype: Bill Self’s run with late-blooming wings is ridiculously good. It’s not fair to compare him to KU’s NBA wings, but Self has been successful with a similar type… and we should leave it at that.

😏 The Projection: Think immediate bench contributor with starter upside by 2026. He’s a perfect developmental piece for Self's system.

Kansas had two crucial holes to plug for this year’s team: An offensive threat at wing and a Day 1 ready backup big.

The Jayhawks landed their wing. He’ll have freshmen growing pains and may need some time, but he has potential to make a difference this year and beyond.

The roster isn’t done just yet, but it just got a whole lot closer.
