College Basketball Top 100 Players: Davis Now #1

Shawn Siegel — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 09:57:40 -0800

The Collegehoops.net Top 100 is the ultimate ranking of college basketball's best players. Almost two months have gone by since our last update, and many opinions have changed . Some players such as WVU's Kevin Jones have continued to improve, while others such as Kentucky's Terrence Jones have disappointed. There was also a major change at the top, where Anthony Davis has taken the #1 spot from Jared Sullinger. Sullinger certainly hasn't been playing bad, but Davis has proven to be on the biggest defensive forces college basketball has seen in years. Remember, the CHN Top 100 Ranking is based on the following criteria:

A) Performance/stats

B) Skill/talent

C) Pro potential

D) Inangibles/value to team.

This is not an NBA prospect ranking, which can be found here. The ranking is compiled by CHN Editor Shawn Siegel with an assist from Assistant Editor Raphielle Johnson.

College Basketball Top 25 Freshmen

Shawn Siegel — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 17:22:13 -0800

As a companion to CollegeHoops.net's Top 100 Players Ranking, we present the first edition of this season's Top 25 freshmen list. Players are judged on a combination of a) talent/potential and b) performance. While the top names on this list (Davis, Kidd-Gilchrist, Rivers, etc) are known to most college basketball fans, there are surprise names further down including some hidden mid-major and low-major gems (such as CCSU's Kyle Vinales and Oakland's Corey Petros).
