0 The 2024 McDonald’s All-American Games, which are one of the most anticipated high school basketball events in America, have announced their rosters for both the boys and girls basketball teams. This year’s game features some of the most talented young athletes from across the country, including Cooper Flagg and Sarah Strong, who are currently the most prominent names in high school basketball.
Cooper Flagg, a 6’9″ power forward from Montverde Academy, is currently ranked as the No. 1 overall player in 247Sports’ composite rankings. Flagg is averaging 16.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game this season. His outstanding defensive instincts, athleticism, and off-ball playmaking/play-finishing skills make him a top prospect for the future. Flagg will be playing for Duke University next year, along with Isaiah Evans, the 14th-best recruit in the country.
Isaiah Evans, who is joining Flagg at Duke, is an incredibly talented wing player with immense two-way tools. He has the potential to become a big wing who scores at multiple levels, can be a secondary playmaker, and potentially versatile defender. Rutgers fans will be particularly interested in this year’s McDonald’s All-American Game, as the Scarlet Knights have signed Ace Bailey and gotten a commitment from Dylan Harper, the second and third-ranked prospects respectively, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings.
The girls’ roster is equally impressive, with players from eight different schools represented among the top 10 players in HoopGurlz’s 2024 rankings. Sarah Strong is the standout player in the girls’ roster, having averaged 20.1 points and 16.6 rebounds through 20 games at Grace Christian. The 6’2″ forward is considered to be the crown jewel of this year’s All-American Game.
The McDonald’s All-American Game is not just an event where young basketball players display their skills, but it is also an opportunity for viewers to see how the power is increasingly becoming less concentrated around one or two programs. The game will provide a glimpse of the future of college basketball, with some of the most talented young players set to join some of the most prestigious programs in America.
