High School Basketball Top Recruits

All Recruits by State (or Country) from 1998 to 2008

The following tables show the number of all incoming freshmen by state for the senior classes 1998-2008. The first table includes incoming freshmen for all Division I schools. The second and third tables only count freshmen attending schools in the Top 15 and Top 7 conferences, respectively, as measured by RPI (see conference stats for more details).

Each table contains the total number of recruits, the percentage of all recruits, and the number of recruits scaled per capita. Click on a state to view the recruits that come from that state.
