I don't think Mashburn was a Top 10 player. Someone correct me if I am wrong. The one I first truly remember is Rex.
Mash was a Parade All American so he was close. He didn't beat out Damon Bailey for the USA today Top 5...

Willoughby signed with UK and then went in the draft??Mine would be Bill Willoughby a 6'8" skywalking wing forward out of Englewood N.J. from the class of 1975. Willoughby along with Darryl Dawkins was considered as the 2 best high school players in America that year.
Mashburn was considered lazy and didn't have much of a work ethic in HS. That's one of reasons he wanted to play for Rick so he would be pushed.The Ranking system must of sucked back then. Mashburn was a Dominate player. If tbey had it set up back then like today no doubt Mash was top 5 if not the o erall #1. Him and a bunch of walk ons almost beat duke and then ended up reaching FF later on. Who else could of lead a bunch of pretty much walk onslike that as a freshman?Todays rankings he had to be top player in that class coming out of high school. He probably is a one and done today.

Issel played for a small school in Illinois and wasn't close to top 10. In fact, Mike Casey was considered a bigger recruit that year.No-one remember Dan Issel ? He was a fair player and if he wasn't top ten, Rupp did one helluva job coaching him UP!!!!!
