Where do college basketball players from my state actually go?

Where players from your state go

Of the 2,266 players from NY who reached a college roster, 64% stayed in NY. Here is where they all went:

And how far from home

42% of players play college in their home state — but the lower the level, the more local it gets.

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

• What is a Division III pre-read, and what does it actually tell a family?A pre-read is a preliminary assessment, made before your child applies, of whether the admissions office considers them a viable candidate — but a positive result is not a guarantee of admission.
• Can my child transfer and play college basketball right away?Yes — under current NCAA rules, a college basketball player who enters the Transfer Portal can be immediately eligible to play at a new school, but the rules are division-specific, the process has required steps, and your child should check with the compliance office at the school they plan to attend before assuming anything.
• How do you get a Division I basketball scholarship?About 1.1% of high school players reach Division I, and the players who get there combine skill, strong academics, active recruiting outreach, and good character.

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 16% of Florida's do.
