The Collegehoops.net Top 100 is the ultimate ranking of college basketball's best players.  This is the second of four quarterly editions for the 2007-08 college basketball season. The next edition will be released in February once conference play is in full swing.

 

CHN writers, including Jeff Borzello, Jeff Fox, Raphielle Johnson, Kevin McNeil, Shawn Siegel, Jason Tomassini, and Jon Teitel vote based on the following four criteria:

 

a) performance/accomplishments, b) skill/talent, c) pro potential, d) impact/value to team. This is not an NBA prospect ranking, which can be found here.  Let the debates begin..

How about some love for Josh

Submitted by Calhoya on Sat, 2007-12-29 16:33.

How about some love for Josh Akognon of Cal St. Fullerton? So far he is averaging 20 points a game, shooting over 40% from 3-point range, near the top in 3-pointers made per game and demanding box-and-one schemes from opponents. UCLA coach Ben Howland called him the best shooter in the country.

I'd say he'd be in the mix

I'd say he'd be in the mix for top 175-200, but not top 100. He's certainly having a good start scoring and shooting the ball from deep, but that's offset by the team's mediocrity.. 6 d1 wins, with 4 over southern utah and montana, and offset by the fact fullerton really runs and scores in volume so he gets more chances than he would in a more typical offense. Also it doesnt help that he doesnt add anything beyond shooting

Brian Roberts listed as 65th

Brian Roberts listed as 65th is a joke. He is a first team All American at his guard spot.

I like Roberts as much as the next guy and have had Dayton ranked high in my personal rankings all season.. but the odds of Roberts being first team All-American are realistically 0%.

You present some good

Submitted by Calhoya on Mon, 2007-12-31 17:42.

You present some good arguments, but the fact that (1) Ben Howland called him the best shooter in the country , (2) and that his numbers which place him among the top 30 scorers in the country are comparable to Bobby Brown's numbers last year, which brought him top 100 treatment, merit I think placement for AKognon in the top 100. Also Fullerton has faced tougher schedule this year than last year's Fullerton squad. Thir four losses are to Arizona, St. Mary's, Ot loss to Wright St. (who beat Butler), and a narrow loss to Central Michigan, a pre-season MAC pick by many to win the league.

90 Bobby Brown Fullerton 20.2 PPG, 2.7 RPG, 5.1 APG

By the way, I love the website.

dionte christmas

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Wed, 2008-12-17 18:18.

where's temple's dionte christmas on this list? he averages 21 points per game and he scored 35 points against tennessee (who was then the number eight team in the country). Not to mention he was ESPN.com's national player of the week. I rest my case.
