Top 50 Names in DI College Basketball

After hours of sifting through all 338 NCAA Division 1 teams, I dwindled a 5 page, single spaced page of prospective names down to a list of 50 (some) names that deserve some recognition.  Some of the names are (or will be) household names like Nerlens Noel and Shabazz Napier, others, you might not ever hear again, like Hondo Webb.  Enjoy the 2012-2013 college basketball season and look for another list this time next year!
