Here are my choices for the 2004-05 Top 100 JC players in California that I've seen play this year.
This is of course my subjective opinion, and while I'm a fan rather than a coach, mine may be the most informed opinion around since I doubt anyone else has seen as many teams play this year as I have. And there are actually 103 players on the list - I did the Top 100 at the end of the regular season, and the other three are playoff additions.
In addition to the Top 100, the Honorable Mention section is a list of very good players that I seriously considered for inclusion on the Top 100.

What Might Have Been:
*LaRon Williams, PF, Chaffey
A broken hand in December kept him from near-certain Top 100 status.
What Shouldn't Have Been:
Jimmy Tobias, SF, Compton
Would have been Top 100 based on talent, but apparently he was the ineligible player that cost Compton 11 wins and a shot at defending their State Championship.
