Hard work coupled with a big frame and a plus skill-set have helped Ryan Rosburg become a highly accomplished basketball player at Marquette High School in Chesterfield, Missouri. A Missouri Basketball Coaches Association all-state selection last season as a junior, Rosburg, a center/power forward, is the Mustangs all-time leading rebounder and currently second on the school’s all-time leading scorers list. He’s also a high-major Division 1 basketball recruit.

High-majors including Missouri, Tennessee, TCU, Utah, Virginia and Virginia Tech, and locally from the Missouri Valley Conference, Missouri State, Northern Iowa, Creighton and Southern Illinois-Carbondale, offered the 6’10”, 240-pound rising senior. Recently, however, Rosburg narrowed the field to five.

“Probably about a week ago, me, my parents, my high school coach, my AAU coaches…we all sat down and talked about it, and I narrowed my list,” Rosburg said. “I narrowed it down to five – (in no order) Virginia, Virginia Tech, Mizzou, Missouri State and Tennessee.”

This past weekend, Rosburg traveled to Missouri State for his first official visit.
