The North Carolina Tar Heels are getting their chance to impress the top overall player in the 2027 basketball recruiting class.
According to On3's Joe Tipton, five-star power forward C.J. Rosseris set to officially visit North Carolina this weekend. It will be the first official visit of the Fall for Rosser, as the Tar Heels get their chance to impress him and make some positive steps forward in the recruitment.
The 6-foot-9 Rosser is North Carolina's top target in the 2027 recruiting class and would be a home run for Michael Malone and their staff. This is the first recruiting class that Malone and the staff will have a full evaluation of after he took over earlier in April.
