Duke signee Cooper Flagg and Rutgers' first two entrants in 16 years top the rosters for the 47th annual McDonald's All American Game.
The rosters, which feature 19 of the top 21 prospects in the 2024 ESPN 100, were revealed Tuesday on ESPN's “NBA Today.”
Duke, which has the No. 1 recruiting class in 2024, also has two signees named for the game. Flagg, the nation's No. 1 prospect, will be joined by No. 7 Isaiah Evans on the East team.
Rutgers has two of the top three prospects in the country entering its program next season: No. 2 Airious “Ace” Bailey and No. 3 Dylan Harper. Bailey and Harper are the first McDonald's All Americans to sign with the Scarlet Knights since Mike Rosario in 2008.
Three other schools also have two recruits on the list: Kentucky, North Carolina and Alabama.
The Wildcats' No. 2 recruiting class will have two more players on the East roster: Jayden Quaintance (No. 14) and Johnuel “Boogie” Fland (No. 15).
North Carolina has No. 13 Drake Powell and No. 16 Ian Jackson, while Alabama is represented by No. 8 Derrion Reid and No. 21 Aiden Sherrell.
In total, 17 colleges have recruits named for this year's game.
Three uncommitted players were selected for this year's roster: Derik Queen (No. 10), Bryson Tucker (No. 17) and Karter Knox (No. 24).
Queen is believed to be leaning toward Indiana or Maryland, with Kansas and Houston also still involved; Tucker is considering Kansas, Michigan State and G League Ignite; and Knox just visited Kentucky and meets the Wildcats, Louisville, South Florida and the G League Ignite.
The East team will be coached by Pace Academy (Georgia) coach Sharman White, while North Crowley High School (Texas) Tommy Brakel will coach the West team.
The McDonald's All American Games, for both boys and girls, will be held in Houston on April 2 at the Toyota Center.
