How to use this
How the openings estimate works
Estimate: departing = players listed as seniors or graduate students at that position; signal compares them with everyone at the position whose class is listed (high: at least 2 and at least 40% departing; medium: at least 1 and at least 20%; low: fewer). Based only on the published roster.
- Does not account for transfers, early departures, injuries, walk-ons or players already committed.
- Seniors without a stated redshirt may still have a year of eligibility left; the roster page does not say.
- Coaches recruit for need and fit; an opening is not an offer.
Counts come from the official roster page as published; individual players are never stored or shown here. Open the official roster for names.
A program losing three starters at your position will read your email differently than one that is set for two years. Email the position coach now, say which spot you are aiming for, and link your film. Head coaches and position coaches for every program are in the tennis coaches directory.
Keep going
Aggregate counts from each program's official roster page; no player names or personal details are stored or shown. Rosters change through the year. Report a problem.
