Posted May 28, 2003

Luol Deng would have been the top player in the country if it weren't for a guy named LeBron. Here's our final Top 100 from the Class of 2003.

Archived BCH Final Top 100 Lists
2003 Top 100
2002 Top 100
2001 Top 100
NOTE It’s important to understand that while we’ll include 5th year players in our final position rankings in the database, we aren’t including them in the final top 100. Guys like Alexander Johnson, Julius Lamptey, Marquise Kately and Josh Boone graduated from high school last year and in some cases, even appeared in our final top 100 of 2002. You only get one shot at the top 100.
