Josiah Rose, a 6‑foot‑3 guard with a plus‑six wingspan, is quickly becoming one of the most talked‑about prospects in the 2028 recruiting class.
He runs the court for Faith Family Academy in Dallas, Texas, where he has logged 15.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists over 16 games in the Nike EYBL Scholastic League.
Those numbers, coupled with a 24‑point per game average in eight spring and summer contests, have helped him climb to No. 21 overall in the national rankings and No. 4 among point guards.
Coaches describe him as a strong, physical, three‑level scorer who can finish at the rim, pull up mid‑range and knock down perimeter shots, all while operating left‑handed.
Rose also showcases his talents for 99ovr on the Adidas Circuit, where his versatility and work ethic have drawn praise from evaluators across the country.
A Flood of Offers
The buzz surrounding his recruitment has been reflected in a cascade of scholarship offers. In addition to Indiana University, the young guard has received commitments from Arizona State, Baylor, Houston, Kansas, Louisville, Oklahoma State, Texas Christian, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, UCLA, Washington, SMU and Xavier.
The breadth of interest underscores not only Rose’s individual talent but also the growing reputation of Indiana’s program under its current coaching staff.
Analysts expect his blend of size, skill and left‑handed scoring to make him a valuable asset for any program that secures his commitment, and his eventual choice could influence the next wave of recruiting targets.
