eBoss' Top 100 for 2006

After spending the winter and spring months traveling across the country evaluating the top high school players in America, it’s time to update the rankings. In this edition, I am going to expand my rankings of the class of 2006 from a top 50 to a top 100.

As always this is just one person’s take on how things shake out and keep in mind that I won’t list somebody that I haven’t seen play enough to evaluate fairly -- hence no Dwight Lewis Kansas fans. These are done for fun and to generate a little discussion so feel free to take any questions to the message boards.

Be on the lookout for a ranking of the top 50 prospects from the class of 2007 and 25 to watch in 2008 coming soon.
