The basics
Clarence Rosser Jr. plays for Southeastern Prep in Orlando alongside Beckham Black, the No. 1 player on our board. He is listed at 6-foot-9 and between 185 and 195 pounds depending on the service. He is No. 2 overall and the top-ranked player from North Carolina, his home state.
The boards
He is a consensus five-star across 247Sports, ESPN, and On3, and the 247Sports composite lists him as the No. 1 power forward in the class. Several outlets have carried him at or near No. 1 overall at points in the cycle. The descriptions converge on length and mobility for his size. The listing is power forward. The game he is building is a stretch four who wants wing work.
Production
Through 28 games of his junior season, 247Sports reported averages of 16.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks for Southeastern Prep, which finished the year on the national team board.
The recruitment
About 26 offers, per 247Sports, including Kentucky, North Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas, and Auburn. Sports Illustrated reported Duke making progress in his recruitment and a planned Louisville visit. On3 reported he and Black intended to visit Kentucky after the season. Nothing is decided.

Rosser at Southeastern Prep already gave you 16.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, and that is No. 2 work.
What to watch
The jumper is the skill that keeps him on the wing. A stretch four who spaces, handles, and shoots is the player I am buying. The listing can stay power forward.
