In the United States, there are over 20,000 public high schools and 10,000 private high schools. Out of these schools, only 17,000 have a basketball program. With an average of 4 seniors per program, approximately 68,000 high school student-athletes graduate each year with aspirations of playing at the collegiate level.
However, when we consider the number of institutions with a basketball program, it drops to less than 1,500 schools. This means that there are around 6,000 potential spots available for the 68,000 players, translating to less than 5% of high school student-athletes having the opportunity to play at the collegiate level.
