Rolf had offers from Miami, Toledo, Radford and many other schools. Charlotte offered him a scholarship in March. He’ll join a Charlotte program that finished 17-14 last season, the fourth for head coach Ron Sanchez.

Centerville’s roster this past season also included Tom House, a 2022 recruit who has signed with Florida State and Gabe Cupps, a 2023 guard who has committed to Indiana. Cupps won Ohio’s Mr. Basketball Award this year.
