Top 100 Players: Preseason 08-09

Siena's Edwin Ubiles should be on that list- he is more talented than Kenny Hasbrouck

How is Jermaine Taylor in the "further in line" category?!?! he's the nation's 10th returning scorer and has more talent than a lot of the guys in the top 100...

Where the heck is Jodie Meeks? You mean to tell me there are 100+ players out there better than him?

In regards to the above..

-Ubiles received some votes, and is on the radar for making the next list.

-My experience with the top 100 voting is that as the season goes on, the lesser known guys with the big stats tend to rise in the rankings as compared to the BCS guys. So long as Taylor averages over 20 ppg again, I fully expect him to creep into the Top 100.

-In terms Meeks, yes that is what we're telling you. I can report that he didn't even make anyone's top 75 list. But like Ubiles, he's at least in range. Some others who got votes but didn't make the list:

Steven Gray, Cedric Jackson, Mac Koshwal, Jodie Meeks, J'Mison Morgan, Gyno Pomare, Taylor Rochestie, Ryan Thompson, Dar Tucker, Edwin Ubiles

I think Jeff Teague is definitely one of the most underated players, and will emerge as one of the top gaurds in the nation before its all over with.

How about Arinze Onuaku? He's not even honorable mention. WTF?

There is one glaring omission on your Top 100 list, Shooting guard Donovan Morris, Long Beach State. Besides being one of the top scorers in the country, he leads his team in rebounding.

I love how everyone thinks their guy is the biggest snub of all time. Donovon Morris, Jermaine Taylor, Onuaku? Seriously guys?

Ahmad Nivins should be at least in the top 75

USD
Brandon Johnson and Gyno Pomare should be in the top 100.
And Rob Jones should be at least mensioned.

Watch Brandon Johnson in any game. Look what Gyno did to thabeet and Uconn in the tournament then WKU. Then watch what Rob Jones did Luke Babbit who is mentioned.

I will be shocked if Greg Monroe does not rise above Luke Hargondy on this list.

In my mind, if Greg Monroe can put up numbers even better than fellow PF Jeff Green when he won Big East Player of the Year while running the same system with less experienced players, while having the responsibility of replacing a depleted frontcourt placed on his shoulders so early, I think he has more than a 0% chance.(He already has played well , and despite stiffened competition down the road will only improve as he learns to demand the ball more).

Ultimately a team must do well to have its stars recognized of course, but considering Hargondy's (and Notre Dame's) suspect defense(Monroe's greatest asset), there is more than a chance Gtown will go further in the NCAA tournament come March.

Wheres Gary Wilkinson? He has by far solidified his spot as the top big guy in the Western Athletic Conference. 18 ppg and 8 rpg is pretty dang good. He should be on here.

I told you that Jeff Teague (Wake Forest) was one of the best and most underated gaurds in the nation and thus far he is proving me right. I would have to expecet him to move into thelist on the mid-season update and also for James Johnson to move up. You've got him at 52 and Kyle Singler at 21. WHAT? Where did that calculation come from?? Please explain

You state that this is not an NBA prospect ranking. Then how can Mullens be the only Ohio State player on the list, and in the top 15? I am an Ohio State fan and right now he is our fifth best player. 1. Turner 2. Diebler 3. Simmons 4. Lauderdale. Heck, I'd even put Mullens in a tie with Buford.

It should really say "not merely" an NBA Draft list, as Pro Potential is taken into account. But clearly Mullens will drop in the next update (this was from the pre-season), and Turner (who is in the Next in Line group now) will no doubt jump up substantially in the 1st in-season update in a few weeks. (Also, as an aside, I imagine most of the hyped off-season freshmen will drop as none of the Top names have gotten off to great starts)

ok.......Jodie drops 37 vs K-state, 39 vs VMI, and a flippin 46 vs App. State shooting 9-11 from behind the 3 pt. line where the crap is he!!!!!!!!!!!! he should be in the top ****** 15 at least heck i'de put him in the catogory with speph curry!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This ranking is bullshit!!!!!!!!

Where is Ben Woodside of North Dakota State? He dropped 60 this year and he doesn't even make honorable mention?

courtney fortsen - arkansas????? hes a game changer for his team, very valuable should atleast be mid list

New List Added January 13th.. this is the second of our 4 yearly Top 100 updates.

Top 100: Version 2.0 

Jody Meeks has had lots of games in the 30s + a 45, 46 and a 54 point game. Very smart player, good defense, more than likely the best shooting guard in the NCAA.
