Here are my choices for the 2013-14 Top 100 JC players in California.
The only requirement is that I have to have seen them play (anywhere...during the regular season or during the summer - at some point - at the JC level, in HS, in travel ball or in a summer league such as the Drew League or the SF Pro-Am) And actually, in one case, I waived that rule (for just the second time ever) since by the player's stats and his team's success it's obvious he should be on the list.
Players are listed by the position that they played most of the time at the JC level. Most players in California JCs play one position “larger” than they are likely to play at the 4-year level (since we have so many guards and not so many big men around here).
There is also an extensive Honorable Mention list, which includes the players I seriously considered for inclusion on the Top 100 List.

one change announced 2/22...move Myers from Top 100 to HM and add Alex Igual, Cuesta, to the Top 100. To be on the Top 100 list you have to finish the season with your team, eh?
Another change 3/17...add Cortez Barrett of Chabot. I didn't see him until the state tourney but be belongs on here. That makes 101 but it's my list so that's the way it is.
