TechSideline.com Top 40 Prospects for 2003 in the State of Virginia
 Version: 001, 5/22/02

Welcome to TSL's initial Top 40 prospect listing for 2003 for the state of Virginia. This ranking was assembled by message board posters HokieJeff, TCB007, Hokie83, and HOKIE MAGIC, and is the official TSL ranking system for in-state prospects. This list will be revised approximately every two months, until February 2003.

Prospects were ranked according to the following criteria:

1) number and quality of offers (please note that listed schools are not offers per se, only schools of interest);
2) player evaluations from members of the college coaching profession;
3) upside potential based on size, weight, and speed;
4) results of Nike or regional combines.

Notes:

1.) Five players tied for number 40. All possess the potential to be in the top 40 in Virginia; however, there was not a clear method of distinguishing one from the other at this point.
2.) QB John Fulton is an inadvertent omission from this list and will be added to it soon.

TSLX readers, please note: this list was originally published in TSL Extra #19, release date May 22, 2002. Unlike most pay TSLX material, this list can be distributed freely. Later this summer, when our new recruiting database is launched, the TSL Top 40 will be incorporated into the database and will continue to be publicly available free material.
