TechSideline.com Top 40 Prospects for 2003 in the State of Virginia
Version: 003, 9/27/02

This ranking was assembled by message board poster HokieJeff, with input from 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.
