VIEW: CBS Sports Top 100 College Basketball Players

CBS Sports unveiled its Top 100 college basketball players for 2012, and there appears to be a definite Northwest flavor to this year's class.

Gonzaga's Elias Harris checks in at No. 37 as he enters his senior season.

Brock Motum ranks 76th following his breakout season at Washington State last year.

Montana's Will Cherry makes the list at 88, while Kent native Josh Smith and Gonzaga sophomore Kevin Pangos go back-to-back at Nos. 91 and 92.

College basketball season officially gets underway this Friday when teams are allowed to start full practices.
