Today I am going give you a peek into the future. I will give you a list of D1 locks to this point in the fall.  D1 locks in most cases are easy to recognize. They stand out like a sore thumb. There either have unique size, talent , athleticism or have a special skill set such as shooting.

Now I never use the term D1 lock unless I have seen a kid play with my two eyes on multiple occasions against multiple D1 players on the court at one time. Now please pay close attention to what I’m about to say. A kid playing well in a game against one day player on the court. Doesn’t make them a D1 player. Next if a player cannot shoot the ball, I WILL NEVER CALL THEM A D1 lock.

I do not care about rankings there nonsense at best and in 99% of the cases they are formed by folks with no basketball background or are put together and controlled by Shoe companies. Many parents and kids attend events simply for ranking reasons. Ranking play into parents egos and are best suited to create  hype,  few coaches pay real attention to them. Their real value in ranking is in NIL money and social media clicks. This list does not care or take such things into consideration.

Finally the term gym rat next to any players name is huge. I have long said your best recruits are GYM RATS. Never pass on a gym rat when all is equal. It’s that’s simple, they raise your programs culture, practices and these kids can always play a level above their ability.

I do not throw and will not throw this term around lightly. A kid may indeed be a gym rat. But if I have not been in the gym with that kid daily or recently . I will not even think about using the term, regardless of  what anyone says or thinks. I will not rely on others opinions or eyes. One I don’t know how hard that kid works and two EVERY PARENTS and TRAINER CLAIMS THERE KID IS A GYM RAT. Remember just because a kid is not a gym rat doesn’t mean there not a hard worker!

D1 LOCK Definition– A player with multiple D1 offers currently on the table or I believe will have multiple D1 offers on the table in the future … KEY WORD… MULTIPLE!

*My track record speaks for itself!

***Remember this list is made up of  “CURRENT” D1 locks. It’s does not mean if a kid doesn’t make the list, they won’t be a D1 player in the future. Especially Freshman and Sophomore’s.
