2010 College Hoops Early Stats Leaders: Is There Any Way They Can Keep This Up?

Doug BrodessNov 21, 2010

Early season stats can be a little crazy, with scoring that is out-of-this-world; rebounding that is ridiculous; and shooting percentages that can't be sustained.

It's doubtful that these will be the players who are leading each of these categories at the end of the season.

Not too many household names here, but the following are the early Division I Men's Basketball statistical leaders.

Rebounding: Chris Gaston Fordham
