Texas High Schools Feeding D-I
How many Texas high school men's basketball players actually land on D-I college rosters? Real numbers, not guesses. Right now, 316 Texas players are on D-I men's basketball rosters across 142 programs, coming out of 251 Texas high schools. I built RawRecruit for the kids the recruiting services do not build for. I played in the NFL with the Eagles and Vikings, then coached for the Giants. The playbook here is the one I gave my own family. These counts come from current 2025 D-I men's basketball rosters. Below: the Texas high schools sending the most players, the D-I programs recruiting hardest here, the methodology, and the questions parents ask us most.
“The overlooked majority of HS athletes. The kids and parents nobody is calling first, who still want their kid on a roster like the ones above.

The Methodology
How We Count
Numbers come from publicly available 2026 D-I men's basketball rosters. We count any current player whose listed home state is Texas, school by school, season by season. The decision a family makes here is too big to plan around guesses, so we put the rosters in front of you.
The Conversation
Parents Ask Us
- How many Texas high school men's basketball players are currently on D-I rosters?
- Right now, 316 Texas players are on D-I men's basketball rosters, spread across 142 programs and sourced from 251 Texas high schools. Counts come from current 2026 rosters.
- Which D-I men's basketball programs recruit the most from Texas?
- TCU leads with 8 Texas players on the current roster, followed by McNeese State (8) and Texas-Arlington (7). The top three are listed above with the head coach for each program when verified. A free account opens the rest of the top ten.
- Which Texas high schools send the most players to D-I men's basketball?
- Duncanville HS and Kansas lead with 4 current D-I men's basketball players each, followed by Bellaire (3), Link Academy (3), Montverde Academy (3). The full top 25 is on the page above.
- Is D-I men's basketball a realistic path for a Texas high school player?
- Yes. With 316 Texas players currently on D-I men's basketball rosters across 142 programs, the path is busy and well worn. Scholarships at D-I men's basketball are equivalency-based, so families plan around how a coach splits a partial across an event group.
- How does RawRecruit count Texas to D-I men's basketball pipeline numbers?
- We pull current 2026 D-I men's basketball rosters from public school athletics sites and count any player whose listed home state is Texas. Coach names show up only when verified inside our 35-day freshness window.
- What does my kid actually do with this list of high schools and programs?
- The list is the input. The seven-step playbook is the action. Profile your kid's real marks and event group, build a target list off the programs above, send the email coaches actually read, and run the visit on full information. The full playbook lives at /guides/football/diy-recruiting and the same structure applies for track and field; we publish a sport-specific version next.
- We are not in Texas. Does the same playbook still apply for our state?
- Yes. The seven-step playbook is sport-specific, not state-specific. The cohort and program list above are the Texas cut; the work a kid and parent do to reach D-I men's basketball coaches is the same in every state. State pipeline pages for the rest of the country roll out next.
- What happens when a coach leaves a D-I men's basketball program mid-cycle?
- Coach names on this page only show up when our pipeline has verified them inside the last 35 days. When a head coach leaves, the slot reads as a transition note instead of a stale name; the program count and athlete numbers stay intact because those come from the roster, not the staff page. The list refreshes monthly.
- Why is RawRecruit giving away the rosters and coach contacts for free?
- Because the data is the easy part. The hard part is keeping a school list current, filtering programs by your kid's real fit, and tracking coach records as staffs turn over every cycle. The free profile saves the work; the paid tiers exist for families who want deeper fit analytics. The free profile is enough for most.
