HOOP SCOOP'S FINAL RANKING OF THE NATION'S TOP 5TH YEAR PLAYERS FOR THE CLASS OF 2003
Published July 7, 2002

 
A player must be in at least his 9th semester of high school in in order to make the 5th year list and, this is important, because, more often than not, a player on this list has an advantage in terms of age and maturity over regular high school seniors.
