Who's the best in the Class of 2002?

By Leo L. Jefferson

Most college scouts are calling the class of 2002 the next big recruiting class after the much-touted class of 2000. This group of sophomores is deep and very talented.

In addition, more players may emerge, since members of this class were only freshmen last year and did not receive the kind of exposure they'll get this summer. In other words, we will be on the lookout for even more undiscovered gems in this class while on the road this summer -- so stay tuned.
