Hey peeps, I'm hoping to play college basketball and I'm curious about my options. Does anyone know how many D1 basketball schools are out there? Thanks!
Hey there! I can definitely help you with that. There are currently over 350 Division I (D1) basketball schools that compete in the NCAA. These schools are spread across various conferences and are located throughout the United States. As a potential college basketball player, it's important to consider factors such as the coaching staff, team culture, playing time, and level of competition, as well as the academic programs, financial aid, and campus life at each school you are interested in.
Don't forget to start reaching out to college coaches and making a list of the D1 schools that fit your academic and athletic preferences. It's also a good idea to create a highlight reel showcasing your skills on the court to send to coaches. Attending college showcases, camps, or AAU tournaments can also help improve your visibility as a prospective basketball recruit.
Good luck with your college basketball journey!
