TheInsiders.com released its first edition of the National Hot 100 in July. As usual, three states dominated the 100: Texas, Florida and California. Combined, they accounted for 35 players among the nation's 100 best at this point. Pennsylvania was a surprise with nine prospects on the list, including six in the top 35.
But the biggest surprise of all? The nation's top prospect is a center, Jeff Byers, from Loveland High School in Fort Collins, Colo. Byers headlines the Hot 100 and is still undecided on a school. Lists of recruits by position and team commit lists are also available.
