You could pick 50 UK fans and get 50 different top 10 players.

This is a good list but as you say, 50 people could give you 50 different lists. But no matter how you look at the players Issel will always be #1. He only got to play for 3 years because of the freshman rule. He scored more points than anyone, which will probably never be broken. He was an AA for 2 of his 3 years. No one can or will ever come close to what he done. There are many who possibly could have beat him if they stayed for 3 years. Look how good Patterson was and he played for 3 years but doesn't come close to passing Issel.
