South Carolina appears to be making particularly strong inroads with Rosario. During a recent interview with On3’s Jamie Shaw, the wing spoke highly of the Gamecocks program.
He’s already familiar with their facilities, having visited the campus and toured the locker room. His connection to former Moravian Prep teammates Eli Ellis and Hayden Assemian, who are joining South Carolina, gives the Gamecocks a potential edge.
While no official visits have been scheduled yet, Rosario has indicated that plans are underway to arrange campus visits with several interested schools. These upcoming visits will likely play a crucial role as he evaluates his options and narrows down his list of potential destinations.
The Complete Package: Athleticism and Skill
Rosario’s combination of explosive athleticism and refined basketball skills makes him such an appealing prospect. Currently ranked No. 91 overall in the 2026 class by On3, he’s established himself as one of the most dynamic players in his class through his ability to play above the rim and create excitement in transition.
The 2023-24 season showcased Rosario’s overall game as he posted impressive numbers across multiple statistical categories. Averaging 25.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 blocks, and 1.3 steals per game, he demonstrated his ability to impact games in various ways beyond just scoring.
Rosario’s game goes far beyond his highlight reel athleticism. Scouts have praised his excellent outside shooting touch, high basketball intelligence, and off-dribble creation ability.
His versatility enables him to play both wing spots effectively while defending multiple areas on the floor, making him a perfect fit for the positionless basketball trend that is taking over modern college programs.
