FOR THE 33rd consecutive season, the Daily News is attempting to give college basketball coaches a helping hand with their recruitment of Public, Catholic and Inter-Ac League players.
Our five categories for seniors are point guards, wing guards, small forwards, power forwards and centers. Players are categorized by the position we expect them to play in college. But remember, a player's role can depend upon the level of school he attends.

The players in "The Best" category are those we believe would be most capable of playing in Division I or the higher levels of Division II, or in a competitive junior-college program if there's a need for academic strengthening. "Others" are Division IIs or IIIs.
Our rating system: 1. big time; 2. midmajor; 3. low Division I; 4. high Division II. We have compiled a separate list of players who have already made commitments.

The Best
Shaquille Shannon, 6-foot, tough with ball, classic jumpshot, extra set of eyes, star student, Coppin/Howard/Stony Brook stalking, rating: 3;
