| Is it soccer because so many kids play it in high school or is it one of the niche sports where they give out less scholarships per team? |

| Basketball, no doubt. Teams are smaller and it is just so competitive. |

Agree. The teams are small. |

| Basketball due to roster size and scholarship numbers |

| Agree that basketball is the hardest. It’s true that tons of kids around the country play soccer, which makes landing a D1 spot and scholarship very competitive. But it’s easier to do it from some areas of the country (like the DMV) with a long history of sending players to college teams. |

OP take a look at this. Looks like tennis might be the toughest due to number of foreigners

Also, basketball needs height. The NBA has the highest percentage of players with at least 1 parent who was a pro or D1 athlete in any sport. |
