Top 10 Available Senior Players

We know guys like Malik Hairston and Robert Dozier will be on someone’s campus next year. However, some of the best available seniors in 2004 still need to tighten up their academics or risk spending a year in prep school.

Malik Hairston has the spotlight all to himself at this point. He’s the highest-rated available player on our board and the only one of the top three who hasn’t mentioned the letters N-B-A publicly.

Of the Top 10 best available seniors, no less than half of them come with academic question marks which is bad news for colleges desperately seeking size and talent this time of the year.
