Honest caveats
- • These are entry zones, not hard cutoffs. A player one tick below the floor can still make a lineup with strong academics, position scarcity, or a program fit no one else spotted.
- • Numbers reflect the 2025–26 post-House recruiting landscape. Roster caps and revenue-sharing status vary by program.
- • Coaches filter on the metric before they filter on character — but character, film, and outreach are what turn a filter-pass into an offer.
