1) UCLA (349 pts)
#4 Dan Gadzuric
#7 Jaron Rush

Off the charts. Moiso’s ranking is artificially low due to his prep school status.

Four top 50’s. ‘Nuff said.
3) Arizona (281 pts)

#82 Traves Wilson
Loads of both quantity and quality.

Three McD’s burger boys is always an impressive haul.

Billy D. strikes pay dirt with a deep and talented class.

Todd Tackett
Tubby Smith gets off to a hot start with his first full class at UK.
7) St. John’s (185 pts)
#23 Anthony Glover
#29 Eric Barkley
#66 Ernest Brown
Another class that would be higher if prep schooler Barkley appeared on all the recruiting lists.
8) Missouri (181 pts)
#19 Keyon Dooling
#41 Travis Robinson
#62 Clarence Gilbert
Mizzou comes up big 3 top 100’s.
9) Wake Forest (143 pts)
#57 Broderick Hicks
#58 Darius Songalia
#70 Craig Dawson
#76 Antwan Scott
Ervin Murray
Josh Howard
A huge class for the Deacons who loaded up on local in-state talent.
10) NC State (136 pts)
#25 Adam Harrington
#64 Keith Bean
#78 Shea Cotton
If you consider the impact of Shea Cotton, a former top 10 high schooler, this class would rank even higher.

LSU (116 pts)
