Because you only get 11.7 scholarships for baseball and you need to try to field an entire team (30ish players) with that
Basketball allows 13 scholarships which is a full team

I didn't realize basketball players could get partial scholarships based on academic merit like baseball players, and there generally aren't many "hidden gems" in basketball like you can find in baseball. It certainly helps when you can take a project from Lake Charles and have him on a 75% academic scholarship. Now if Houston wants him they have to allocate 75% of one of their allotted 11.7 scholarships (I think that's the number) while LSU doesn't have to burn that baseball scholly and can offer to a higher rated kid out of state. Does basketball work the same way?

Basketball can give only full scholarships. Baseball can give partials, so Tops can make up the difference. Not really a factor in basketball, except for the occasional walk-on.
