There's your top 25 schools. In some ways it gives you more respect for schools like CAl and Stanford etc. that still manage to compete and sometimes excell despite not having some of the top players. At the same time, if your an NBA draft nut, its obvious which schools to follow. If you look at all the top players, I can guarantee you that some player not in the top 100 will manage his way into being a lottery pick, or at minimun, a first round pick. Maybe not next year, but in the next 3 or 4 years. AKA Williams from Arizona!
