• All of the McDonald's All Americans have either signed or committed to colleges, and, unlike previous years where a top college program would rake in several of the selections, these future stars are spread out. LSU, Arizona, UConn and Notre Dame each have two commits named to the field

• La Jolla Country Day (La Jolla, Calif.) is the lone school with two players as Arizona commits Cunningham and guard Jada Williams each land on the West roster

• California leads the way with four players with Watkins and Amanda Muse of Heritage (Brentwood, Calif.) joining the LJCD duo.

• A switch from last year is that the players are already designated into East and West squads.

The 2023 McDonald’s All American Girls game will air on March 28 at 6:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2 and the Boys game will immediately follow on ESPN at 9 p.m. ET.

I just noticed how much this is a "rich get richer" event. I think the only schools with players in the game who are not in the top 25 are Alabama and UVA.

The other shocker to me is that there is a total of ONE player from the 24 in this game who are headed to the (current) Big 10 (Maryland).

B10 - 1
ACC - 5
SEC - 7
PAC - 6
B12 - 3
BE - 2

In the above, Tex and OK are counted as B12, USC and UCLA are counted as PAC. If we adjust for upcoming moves by those teams it becomes:

B10 - 3
ACC - 5
SEC - 9
PAC - 4
B12 - 1
BE - 2
