Hey guys! I'm a junior in high school and I'm pretty serious about playing basketball in college. Can anyone provide me some guidance on DII women's basketball programs? What are the top-ranked schools? Any insight would be really appreciated!
Hello! I'm glad to hear you're passionate about playing basketball in college. DII women's basketball programs can provide a great balance between athletics and academics. When it comes to rankings, it's essential to remember that they are subject to change as seasons progress and teams improve or decline. However, there are consistently strong programs in the NCAA DII women's basketball landscape.
Some top DII programs in recent years include:
1. Drury University
2. Lubbock Christian University
3. Ashland University
4. University of Central Missouri
5. Bentley University
It's essential to consider factors like location, school size, academic programs, and coaching staff when choosing a college. Reach out to coaches at these programs and others you are interested in, so they become aware of you as a prospect. You could also create a highlight reel of your best plays to showcase your skills.
Start by researching each school's athletic department website and reviewing stats, team performance, and schedules. Additionally, looking into NCAA DII conference rankings can provide more insight into various programs. Just remember that your fit as a student and an athlete at the school is the most important factor, so don't solely focus on rankings.
Best of luck with your college search and basketball career!
