Back to School, Back to the Pool. Where Did 1100+ Members of the Class of 2023 Wind Up?

With Labor Day in the rearview window, we are taking one last look at the high school class of 2023. Our full database contains over 1025 first-year student-athletes and 76 transfers who have started –or are soon to begin– their 2023-24 seasons at 237 schools across the country.

Nearly half of our final top-20 girls recruits wound up at Florida (5) or Texas (4). The boys were more spread out, with 3 going to Cal and Stanford and 2 to Florida, NC State, and Texas.

We reported 142 commitments to the SEC, 126 to the Big Ten, and 122 to the ACC. The largest classes were reported by Quincy (22), Florida (22), South Carolina (21), American (20), NC State (20), Northwestern (19), Auburn (17), Texas (17), Arizona State (16), Princeton (15), and Purdue (15).
