By Friday morning, the Blue Devils had already secured an official visit from the stock-soaring 2026 prospect, as several outlets reported that Duke will host Rosario on June 26-27. He's also locked in upcoming trips to Oregon (June 4-5), Kansas (June 17-18), Texas A&M (June 22-23), and Baylor (June 29-30), per 247Sports' Dushawn London, and plans to tour either UNC or Florida State in early July.

Rosario has emerged as one of the most-talked-about names in EYBL grassroots action this spring, highlighted by a 30-point outing without missing a shot from the field. His performances drew a long list of big-name coaches during the open period last week, fueling a string of new blueblood offers, including Kansas and Duke basketball archrival UNC.

The 247Sports 2026 Composite doesn't yet reflect what is all but certain to be a considerable bump to Kohl Rosario's ranking. He currently checks in at No. 96 overall in the cycle, No. 14 among shooting guards, and No. 3 in North Carolina.
