Of the names not mentioned; (errrr, until the last three posts anyhow)
Gay was like # 5
RIP, Special K, Donyell all top 20.
Kemba, Brown, Hazelton, Oriakhi & Gilbert were all Burger Boys (and Corny)
Guys that were not top 20ish
Ray Ray, MSG, Meka, The Wrong Lamb, Bazz, AJ, Thabeet and everybody else
Caron Butler? He might have been 20ish
I'd explain Caron's ranking but last week in another thread when I tried to do that I had one poster who wanted to cut my head off for the explanation since he was adamant that Caron was the 47th ranked recruit in the 2000 class. So I won't do it again.Caron was top 5.
Corny Thompson was considered the best player coming out of high school the year he committed.Historically who are the top 5 men’s basketball recruits?
I don’t think they had the rating services back then or if they did they were not widely known . Pre internet , even pre PC and Cable was tiny.Corny Thompson was considered the best player coming out of high school the year he committed.

Wasn't he technically unranked because he re-classed to an earlier year? He was high in the next class. The crazy thing is, in today's NBA, Drummond probably wouldn't get drafted. 25% free-throw shooter, the 3 point shot.The top recruit ever is Drummond.
Yeah I remember him being the top non-Fab Five recruit that season as per Blue Ribbon. But it’s a long time ago so I could be wrong.Wasn't 'Yell a top five recruit. I thought he was #3 in his class.
Close. 8 and 9 from the 2 services that did rank 5th year high school players (at least the ones on here).Caron went to prep school and some recruiting services didn't rank prep players against HS players.
Every service who included him on their rankings had him top 5.
Seems weird to believe anyone wouldn't understand it.
He was in the same class as Jason Kidd and Glenn Big Dog Robinson. That class was stacked.Wasn't 'Yell a top five recruit. I thought he was #3 in his class.
The Fab Five of Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, and Juwan Howard also. Cherokee Parks too (I kid, I kid!).He was in the same class as Jason Kidd and Glenn Big Dog Robinson. That class was stacked.
