Burlison: The Rest Of The
"Fab 15" Listings--(Nov. 3, 1998)

Setting aside differences of opinion, here are the rest of Burlison's "Fab 15" selections. According to the OC Register, the selections were based upon 75 ballots from 66 college coaches and nine scouts (for scouting services or recruiting newsletters).  Players received six points for being selected to a first-tema ballot, five for second, four for third, three for fourth,   two points for fifth, and one point for a sixth team ballot.  As for how Carlos Boozer (6'-9" Sr. PF) from Douglas High in Juneau, Alaska was chosen as the No. 1 player, each voter also selected on player they believe to be the best college basketball prospect in the West.

We've already done the "Fab 15" First team, but at the risk of repeating ourselves, here it is:

"Fab 15" First Team "Fab 15" Second Team
1. Carlos Boozer Rafael Berumen
2. Jason Kapono Joe Shipp
3. Casey Jacobsen Nate Hair
4. Michael Dunleavy, Jr. Dalron Johnson
5. Andrew Gooden Lance Allred
6. Justin Davis Ryan Wildenborg
7. Tito Maddox Aaron Abrams
8. Kevin Gaines Shantay Legans
9. Donnell Knight Jimmy Haywood
10. Brian Jackson Noel Felix
11. Brian Wethers Marcus Moore
12. Curtis Borchardt Keith Kincade
13. Julius Barnes Ben Coffee
14. Gilbert Arenas Chris Osborne
15. Demetrius Hunter Bryan Whitehead
"Fab 15" Third Team
1.  Tommie Smith
2.  Marquis Poole
3. Tanner Shell
4. Brian Greene
5.  Cameron Carr
6.  R.T. Guinn
7.  Jovan Harris
8.  Josh Fisher
9.   B.J. Ward
10. Joe Kirchofer
11. Blandon Ferguson
12. James Wright
13. Hakim Rasul
14. Johnny Hardwick
15.  Kent Dennis

Not a bad list, but there are still lots of players who didn't make it who we would have selected to the third team or more had we been voting.  Maybe Frank will send us a ballot next year :-).  And even if he doesn't, we'll still be doing our own selections.
