College offers

This might be a hard question to answer but what do you thing the percentage of 2026’s still getting offers from D1 schools now? I know their are over 300+ schools out there and anything can happen anytime

Phrasing of that question is interesting: "% of 2026s"... Let's have some fun with math!

90,000 HS seniors playing softball in the U.S.
(81,00) won't play after HS (90%)
(1,600) are already committed D1 (from 1,800 spots)
(7,000) go D2, D3, NAIA or Juco
500 spots are added by portal kids not finding homes

That's 900 kids left, with 200 spots available.

The question is tough... you could say there are 81,900 kids "available" for those 200 spots and 0.2% will get an offer... or you could say that there are 900 kids chasing 200 spots and 22% of them will get an offer.

~345,000 girls play HS softball (NFHS, 2024)
~86,250 are seniors (25%)

From that...

~8,500 post-HS spots available (colleges and jucos)
~1,600 D1 spots available
~450 Power 4 spots available
~90 spots available in the SEC
~ 7 spots available at Oklahoma

Said another way...

~9% play beyond high school
~1.8% play D1
~0.5% play Power 4
~0.001% play SEC
~0.00008% play at Oklahoma (or pick your #1)

2026 recruiting is over at the D1 level. These coaches have moved on to the junior class. If they need players they will look in the portal for summer

Totally incorrect and ignorant statement. Yes, some 2026 D1 spots have filled, but not all...

2026 for high school kids is pretty much done for d1. Unless you get offered walk on. Anyone telling a 2026 to hold out for a d1 offer this late in the game is a fool. Sure you will have a few but the ship has sailed

It’s happening this fall, over and over.

Stop your disinformation exercise.

Blanket statements like this are ignorant. You can’t possibly know every D1 situation.

Then please tell me why we had a 2026 receive offers and commit last week? Please stop asking like there is one single way to get recruited. Everyone has a different story to tell on their recruiting.

What school? D1?

I think it's probably pretty low. They gotta keep a little in reserve for portal acquisitions.

It’s pretty interesting that year in year the same instructors are putting kids in college.
