Nike officials decided to pare back the number of players invited to their All-America Camp from well over 200 athletes to 120 this year. This is the result of the growing popularity of Reebok's ABCD Camp in Teaneck, N.J. and Adidas Superstar Camp in Suwanee, Ga. as well as a decreasing number of invitations to underclassmen.

Another noticeable change was the increase in players from overseas (six) and a decrease in players from Indiana (five). Regardless of the changes, college coaches and NBA scouts still turned out in droves to Nike's annual event in Indianapolis.

So without further ado, here are Inside Indiana's Top Fives in reverse order.

Point Guard

5. Edgar Sosa – Sosa's play was sporadic at the camp, but he's worthy of the top five if only because of his potential. Sosa, who stands 6 feet, has incredible athletic ability and pushes the ball, which will work well in Rick Pitino's offensive scheme at Louisville. Sosa possesses an outside jumper and showcased it at times, but has a tendency to get out of position on defense, which gets him into trouble. If he can improve his decision-making, he will be a great fit for Louisville.

4. Ramar Smith – Attack, attack, attack is the mentality of Smith, a 6-foot-1-inch point guard from Detroit. That mentality carried over to the defensive end at camp where Smith had several steals that led to easy baskets. His shooting is one question mark for the schools looking at him, which include Michigan State, Connecticut, and Arkansas. All have offered. His athletic ability was hard to miss. If he can improve his perimeter game, there's a good chance he'll be raising eyebrows at the collegiate level.

3. Tywon Lawson – Lawson, who has already verbally committed to Roy Williams and North Carolina, is a speedster who can run the floor with ease. He loves to attack the hoop and did a good job of using his body around the basket. His one weakness during the camp was his tendency to force too many plays, leading to turnovers. If he can turn into more of a general on the floor, UNC will have a fine point guard running the show.

2. Derrick Rose – Rose is the type of player college coaches salivate over. He pushes the ball up the court with amazing speed and always seems to make the right decision. He's a great finisher around the basket and passes well. He plays solid on-the-ball defense and will bump with the big bodies and sky for a rebound. Indiana was once on his list, but it appears that Illinois, North Carolina, Kansas and Arizona are the "Final 4" for this prospect in the class of 2007.

1. Sherron Collins – Collins, more so than the other point guards on this list, showed the most potential for being a game breaker. Collins is as quick as they come and has a scorer's mentality on the court. He has solid court vision, but sometimes tends to force the issue on tough passes. He's small at 5 feet 11 inches but can shoot the lights out, and is a solid finisher around the hoop. Illinois and Iowa were at the top of his list during the camp, and either would be lucky to land Collins.

Shooting Guard

5. Durrell Summers – One of the more impressive performers from the class of 2007 was Summers, who currently is looking at Syracuse, North Carolina and Michigan State. Summers showed his ability to be a slasher at the next level and backed it up with a decent outside shot. He'll need to improve defensively like many others in the guard positions at the camp. The Detroit native stands 6 feet 4 inches and could stand to bulk up a bit, but one thing that stood out was his length and ability to change shots.

4. Stefan Welsh – Welsh was trying to make a name for himself coming into Nike Camp this year, and he did a good job of at least attracting my attention. Welsh possesses a scorer's mentality, and it makes for a nice duo when combined with his outstanding athleticism. Xavier is high on Welsh's list, as are Notre Dame and Florida. He attacked the basket quite well for a 6-foot-3-inch kid and does a nice job of finishing around the hoop. Although not the flashiest, he'll be a solid pick-up for whoever lands him.

3. Patrick Christopher – Coming in as the seventh ranked shooting guard in the class of 2006, Christopher had to prove that he deserved to be that high. He did admirably, as he shot the lights out in a couple games, scoring mounds of points. His consistency wasn't great, but he also has the ability to take defenders off the dribble. Christopher has schools such as California, Arizona, Kansas and Kentucky on his shortened list, but has only received an offer from Cal. Schools would be wise not to pass on his potential.

2. Obi Muonelo – Muonelo displayed a wide variety of talents during Nike Camp, but the one that stood out the most was his shooting ability. At 6 feet 5 inches and 225 pounds, the physical Muonelo surprised me with his deft touch. However, Muonelo also was able to attack the basket and use his size to his advantage. He needs to work on his ball handling as well as his quickness if he plans on defending the other two-guards at the collegiate level. Oklahoma, Florida and others have offered to Muonelo at this juncture.

1. Jerryd Bayless – Jerryd Bayless played at Nike Camp with sore knees. He still dominated. Does he merit the number one position? It's debatable, but I think so. This phenom from the class of 2007 was almost unstoppable as he slashed his way through defenders to score effortlessly time after time. He also was one of the better pure shooters as he displayed range from well outside the 3-point line. Most impressive to me was his decision-making and ability to always make the right pass at the right time. A native of Arizona, the Wildcats are on his list, along with Texas, North Carolina, and Kansas.

Small Forward/Wing

5. Mike Jones – Jones, a 6-foot-6-inch wing from South Carolina, had a decent camp at a position lacking big name stars, save Kevin Durant. Jones was impressive in that he was able to get to the basket when he put his mind to it. However, he didn't seem comfortable shooting the 3. This will have to change if he wants to play the wing in college. If he can improve his perimeter game, he could be tough at the next level. Connecticut, Maryland, and South Carolina have all offered Jones thus far.

4. Chace Stanback – Stanback, a lanky 6-foot-7-inch forward from Los Angeles, showed a lot of potential at camp. A member of the class of 2007, Stanback has good range for his size, and also is a good ball handler. He looks like he could easily make the transition to the perimeter in college, but he needs to become stronger to improve his chances around the basket. Arizona, North Carolina, and Georgia Tech appear to be the front-runners early on for Stanback, but don't be surprised if a lot more schools end up involved.

3. Landon Milbourne – Milbourne, a Maryland commit, showed a lot of promise at camp from the perimeter. Standing 6 feet 6 inches and tipping the scales at 195 pounds, he could be a huge part of Gary Williams' squads in the coming years. Milbourne showed a lot of promise from outside the arc and also made smart basketball decisions in his passing and defensive game. He'll need to work on his ball handling and strength if he expects to compete in the ACC right away, but it's certainly a possibility.

2. DaJuan Summers – Summers made some waves at Nike Camp with his ability to be yet another "3" who can shoot the rock. What separated him from those right behind him though was his ability to also score off the dribble and down low. He wasn't the most consistent defensive player, which he'll have to improve upon if he plans on helping immediately at Georgetown. He has verbally committed to coach John Thompson. Summers stands 6 feet 8 inches and weighs in at 225 pounds.

1. Kevin Durant – Durant was another player who came into Nike Camp as the top-ranked player at his position. In fact, Durant is ranked second in the Rivals.com Top 150. Durant was solid, but not overly dominant, and came as advertised. He will contribute for Rick Barnes and Texas in a variety of ways; he can shoot it, drive it, and finish with a flurry. At 6 feet 6 inches expect Durant to play on the perimeter for the Longhorns, and don't be surprised if he leaves for the greener pastures of the NBA after just one season.

Power Forward

5. Jamil Tucker – Yeah, so I decided to list Tucker at the "4" position instead of on the wing where many believe he belongs. Sue me. Chances are, that's where Tucker will be playing the majority of his minutes at the collegiate level, like it or not. Tucker showed flashes of brilliance at the camp with aggressive moves around the basket and good body control. He displayed solid footwork and good rebounding as well. During those sequences he looked like a man on a mission. However, he did disappear from time to time, seemingly getting lost in the offensive game plan. The Hoosiers have a decent shot at landing the native son Tucker, who had listed Ohio State as the favorite previously. Stay tuned.

4. Curtis Kelly – Kelly, a high school teammate of Edgar Sosa, also played noticeably well at the camp. Kelly, a left-hander, showed solid moves around the basket, including a smooth jump hook and also took his game outside with tough fade-away jumpers. Kelly wasn't as stellar on the defensive end, as he looked a step slow on several occasions. But, we'll trust that Jim Calhoun at Connecticut will be able to take care of that problem. He will be a solid addition to the Husky line-up when he arrives in Storrs.

3. Michael Washington – Washington, who stands 6 feet 8 inches and weighs in at 235 pounds, is another power forward who might see time at the "3" in college. He's extremely athletic and versatile and seemed to grow more confident as the camp went on. He'll need to work on his shot if he wants to see any time on the perimeter, but his rebounding skills and work around the basket were impressive. Washington recently verbally committed to Arkansas and coach Stan Heath.

2. Raymar Morgan – Morgan was extremely impressive in Nike Camp, especially in the All-Star Game, in which he raised eyebrows and dropped jaws with his play. Morgan's recruitment also stepped up a notch as Ohio State and Connecticut came into the picture offering scholarships after his impressive week. Morgan is certainly a presence on the floor, wreaking havoc on the glass and taking good shots on the offensive end. He also possesses 3-point range making him an even more dangerous threat.

1. Brandan Wright – Wright came into Nike Camp ranked as the top power forward in the 2006 class, and he didn't do anything to give up his lofty status. Wright, whose final three schools in the recruiting chase are North Carolina, Kentucky, and Duke, more than likely led the camp in dunks and displayed a solid post game. More impressive however, was his defensive effort, and his ability to alter shot after shot. His offensive game still needs some work, but Wright is a player who will have an immediate impact in the college game wherever he chooses.

Center

5. Kosta Koufos – At a relatively weak position overall in this year's camp, Koufos sneaks on to our top five as a player to look out for next season. As a member of the 2007 class, Koufos has a recruiting list that includes Ohio State and Michigan. As he develops, he'll need to continue to work on bulking up to fill out his 7-foot frame. He also needs to improve his finishing ability and his defensive positioning.

4. Albert Jackson – Jackson, another big man from the 2006 class, has already made a verbal commitment to continue his basketball career at Georgia. Although not dominant, he played solidly enough at camp to make his way onto the top five. Jackson weighs in at 245 pounds and plays a bruising, aggressive style of basketball. He needs to work on his low post moves and footwork, but his rebounding is already where it needs to be for the college level.

3. John Kreft – Kreft had a productive week at camp showing that he might be able to make an impact in the ACC sooner than expected. Committed to play for Leonard Hamilton at Florida State, Kreft played a strong brand of smart basketball. He took good shots, rebounded well and played solid defense. He'll need to bulk up before heading off to Tallahassee, but for a 7-footer he moves well on both sides of the ball. He should be able to control the paint for the Seminoles.

2. Jason Bennett – The Nike Campers met the "human wall" this week, aka Jason Bennett, who was a fortress in the paint. However, his strength is also a weakness as he leaves his feet too often, kind of a George Leach Syndrome if you will. Bennett still needs a lot of work on sprucing up his offensive catalogue, but standing 7 feet 2 inches he has, literally, huge potential. Cincinnati seems to be the front-runner of his recruitment, but other schools including Florida, his home state, are interested.

1. Spencer Hawes – Hawes, a 6-foot-11-inch prospect from Seattle, was rated as the second best center in the country coming into Nike Camp, behind some 7-footer from Indianapolis. He was far and away the most polished big man at the camp, scoring on a variety of hooks, leaners, lay-ups and dunks. He needs to work on his range in order to become more effective as well as his defensive footwork. Schools like Washington, Arizona, North Carolina and Duke remain on Hawes' list.
