Where do college basketball players from my state actually go?
Recruiting is more local than most families expect, and how local depends enormously on where you live. Pick your state and see where its players actually went.
Where players from your state go

And how far from home

Division II

Division III

What this does not tell you
- This is where players from your state HAVE gone — not where you will go.
- It counts the highest level each player reached, across every season we hold.
- A state with fewer than 200 players in our data is not offered, because it would describe a coincidence rather than a pattern.
- Where a programme recruits from matters as much as where you live. Your report weighs both.

The numbers behind this
- Where Colorado High School Basketball Players Go to College36% of the 414 Colorado high-school players in our data stayed in Colorado for college; 27% reached Division I. Destinations, levels and the programs that take them most, from every season we hold.
- What level of college basketball can I realistically play at?Enter your high school and your size, and see where players like you have actually ended up — Division I, II or III — from 36,095 real landings.
- When can a college basketball coach contact my child, and what do the recruiting periods mean?Division I men's basketball has four named recruiting periods — recruiting, evaluation, quiet, and dead — and each one sets different limits on when and how a coach may make in-person contact with your player.
How this is worked out
- Home state
- The state of the high school on the player's record.
- Where they went
- The state of the college where they reached their highest level.
- Why it varies so much
- Recruiting is regional, but not equally: 64% of New York's players stay in New York and only 17% of Florida's do.
