Rosario, the 6-foot-5, 185-pound wing out of Overtime Elite and the Team CP3 Nike EYBL AAU program, has been one of the highest risers of the summer. At every stop, the wing has produced at a high level.

For Team CP3 across eight games, Rosario’s averaged 14.2 points and 3.2 rebounds while shooting 50.6% from the field and 20-of-45 (44.4%) from 3-point range. Most recently, Rosario was a force at NBPA Top 100 Camp, where he averaged 13.8 points. He also represented Overtime Elite at the Next Gen Euro League and posted a 30-point game on a perfect 10-of-10 shooting.

Because of his play, Rosario’s recruitment soared with Blue Bloods like Duke, Kentucky and North Carolina offering. Rosario took visits to Florida State and Oregon before his trip to Lawrence. He was set to visit Texas A&M and Duke as well but decided on the Jayhawks shortly after his official.

“We’re very excited to add Kohl this year’s team,” Self said. “It’s not often there’s a player of his potential to become available at this point. We feel that what Kohl brings from a perimeter athletic shooting standpoint is something that we’ve needed to add to this year’s roster. He is one of the hardest working youngsters that we’ve ever recruited and feel the transition to college ball will be more seamless due to this. He’s been very well drilled, and I think his competitiveness will add a piece to our culture.”

Rosario was ranked a top-50 prospect by 247Sports as a member of the 2026 class. He can really shoot it from deep and has the athleticism to play above the rim and finish dunks. He’s officially signed with the Jayhawks.

The Kansas roster outlook for next season is now as follows:
