🔍 Do D1 Programs Still Recruit Juniors?
Yes — but it’s competitive.
Many high-major D1s lock in their classes early. But mid-majors and low-majors often hold spots for late-blooming players, transfers, or athletes who explode during spring and summer.
✅ What coaches want to see from unsigned juniors:
Strong film (highlight + full game)
Solid academics (GPA + test scores)
Positional fit (based on need)
Growth mindset and consistency
📌 Being unsigned now doesn’t mean you’re behind — it just means it’s time to be strategic.
