The 2019 McDonald’s All-American game is set, and it will be loaded. With 24 of the top recruits in the country, Atlanta will be buzzing! Throughout its 42-year history, a selection committee nominates and selects high school basketball stars from all around the country. Those players get to participate in the most renown high school basketball game assembled.
The Breakdown
Headlining the game will be the #1 player in the nation, James Wiseman. The Memphis native committed to stay local and play for his former high school coach, Penny Hardaway, at Memphis next season. Also, the roster includes 6 New Jersey natives and 3 players from Bradenton, Florida’s prestigious IMG Academy. In addition, there are six uncommitted recruits, who will surely get a full sales pitch from every other already committed player during the week of the festivities. Duke, Kentucky, Arizona, Florida, and Villanova all lead the way with two recruits in the game.
Who was the biggest snub?
From year to year their are snubs in the selection process. With just a 24-man roster, it is very hard to make when there are so many deserving players. As a result, snubs are bound to happen. They happen ever year. This season’s most notable snub was Southern California commit Onyeka Okongwu. The 5⭐️ C is the 18th ranked player in the country.
