Khani Rooths, the No. 26 overall prospect in the 2024 On3 Industry Rankings, is ready to announce his college decision. The 6-foot-8 four-star small forward of IMG Academy (Fla.) will make his commitment on Sunday, November 12th.

The Washington, D.C. native will choose between three schools — Georgia, Florida State, and Michigan. He’s visited each of his finalists.

Rooths talks finalists

In a previous interview with On3, Khani Rooths discussed each of his contenders.

Georgia: “Georgia has shown a lot of love and has a great plan for me. The play style matches a lot.”

Florida State: “Florida State is Big Guard U and that’s what I am. Coach has had plenty of pros in the league like me.”

Michigan: “Michigan is a great school and coach Juwan is a big reason they are in the running, especially having two wings drafted.”

Scouting Report

“Khani Rooths has a great frame and great length with real positional size (measured 6-foot-8, or so). The ball skills are developing; however, he is getting more confident with the ball in his hands. His mid-post/mid-range game is getting more dangerous. He will knock down some spot threes, and he can get downhill off the bounce. Defensively, Rooths is really intriguing. He can slide his feet with guards at the point of attack, disrupt the passing lanes, and he has the length and size to switch down to guard forwards. As you project Rooths forward, the archetype and physical tools are clear. There is an upward trajectory that he has continued to take over the past 12 or so months.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
