How to read this page
Every number is over Southeastern Conference programs whose 2025–26 roster lists at least 8 players. "Avg height" is over players with a listed height; "Freshmen" over players with a readable class label; "New this season" is the share of players not on the same program's 2024–25 roster, at programs listed at strength in both seasons; "In-state" and "Outside the US" are over players with a home on record.
A conference-level measure is shown only when 30 players carry the fact behind it, a program-level one when 8 do — a dash is a cell under the floor, not a zero. The Division I figures are pooled over every Division I program at strength, the same rule the conferences-compared page uses.
What this means for a recruit looking at the Southeastern
How to read itThis conference recruits about as locally as its division.
21% of its players list the college's own state, and Texas alone supplies 16%. A recruit outside those states is competing against a wider field for the same spots.
Rosters here turn over at the division's pace.
65% of 2025–26 players were not on the same program's roster the season before. The program table shows which rosters turned over most — those are the programs with spots to fill.
Height differences between conferences are real but small next to the level.
0.6 inches separates the Southeastern from the Division I average. Pick the level first, then the conference; the program pages carry each roster's own numbers.

Definitions and scope
- Source
- Official 2025–26 rosters (and 2024–25 for turnover) published by the athletics sites of NCAA Division I men's basketball programs, collected by Depth Chart.
- Conference
- The canonical conference each program plays in this season, realignment notes folded away; a program whose move has not happened yet counts in the conference it plays in.
- Floors
- A conference needs 5 programs at strength and 30 players to get a page; each conference measure needs 30 players carrying the fact; each program measure 8.
- Home
- A player's home state as the roster lists it; a value that is not a US state or DC is outside the US.
- Sample
- 257 players on 2025–26 rosters at the 16 Southeastern Conference programs counted.
