It's been a busy offseason for UNC basketball, which had to put together a roster for its first season under head coach Michael Malone while keeping an eye on the future.
The Tar Heels will have at least 10 new players on Malone's first roster around returners Jarin Stevenson, Jaydon Young and Isaiah Denis. Maximo Adams, Sayon Keita, Kevin Thomas and Malloy Smith are four freshmen set to join that group in Chapel Hill.
Looking beyond the 2026-27 season and ahead at future recruiting classes, Malone has scholarship offers out to 12 players in the 2027 class and five players in the 2028 group, according to 247Sports.
Here's a full breakdown of the players UNC has offered in the 2027 and 2028 recruiting classes, as of July 27.
A Rocky Mount native who started his career at Northern Nash High School before deciding to transfer to Southeastern Prep in Florida ahead of his senior season, Rosser is the top-ranked player in the 2027 class, according to the 247Sports Composite. The 6-foot-10, 195-pound forward just wrapped up his second unofficial visit at UNC and helped the U17 U.S. National team win the FIBA World Cup in Turkey. Rosser averaged 16 points per game and scored a team-high 23 points in the **** le game against Serbia. He could be the crown jewel of Malone's 2027 recruiting class.
