This is the only sport where they go hard after eighth graders. In basketball you may see a few and I mean few that sign early. Kids with LeBron James type skills, other than his type of skills most kids do not sign until their Junior or Senior year..



Going Hard may be over stated. In reality you see a few eight graders verbal, combine boys and girls and you are still in single digits. For both men's and women's D1,2,3 you have a round figure of 600 teams with 10 spots for each incoming age group. Picking up less than 10 players early in 8th grade for over 6000 roster spots is not exactly going hard. It is actually 00 .167%. One player for every 600 eventually recruited to play in college. But we all hear about every early commit as it is promoted, but to put actual numbers on it shows a different story.
