2025 McDonald's All American Roster

[HooperScooper]

It’s funny how in a lot of these missing years we had 5* players but they weren’t in the game for one reason or another.

2006 - Stanley Robinson
2010 - Roscoe Smith (actually not sure if 5* but it was a battle with Duke to get him)
2011 - Deandre Daniels and Andre Drummond
2014 - Daniel Hamilton
2015 - Jalen Adams

Even Rashad Anderson who was rated in the low to mid 20s in the 2002 class.

Herman Harried coaching the East team. Haven't thought of that name in a while.

Wow that is a blast from the past. Syracuse guy right? I remember reading about him in Eastern Basketball magazine.

Any chatter on Ament?

 

[Hoophound]

Maybe a couple of our guys got the “UConn bump”. It’s like the Duke bump, only it results in titles.

Haven't seen any mention of UConn since the summer. And even that was fleeting.

Nada, seems he’s got a short list of about 4. I believe it’s Duke, ND, Tenn and perhaps Ville. Fairly random assortment.

Fairly random assortment.

Which usually means Duke if they're involved.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Outstanding. The program is sure to get mentions frequently during the game. And maybe that stud transfer portal point guard is watching and says “I want to be part of that.”

 

[Edward Sargent]

Wheres the rest? Rip Donyell

For having 2 burger boys La Lumiere didnt look good against LILU.

3 UConn commits in the game, all on the East team. And just to show the level our recruiting is at right now, another 8 by my count that we were recruiting at one point

And this, folks, is how you rack up 56 LIKES.

This stuff tends to flywheel. Top kids watch and hear Uconn, helps build the brand. More top kids will follow. Turn some of these kids into NBA studs and bing boom, the machine is in motion. Need to seize the day while it’s here before all this conference bs pushes in the other direction.

In the article I linked in the post it says he gave a list of 11 schools when he announced his Fanstake NIL deal a couple weeks ago. He says he has visits to Duke and Kansas State set up. Did you see somewhere else that the 4 schools you mentioned are the real contenders? Tough to have a "real" list of 11 schools at this point.

Can’t remember where I saw it. Might have been an On3 update on the leaders.

Looking at the roster...do any of these kids go to real high schools? Looks like most of them are at prep academies, which as far as I know are just factories for athletics. IMG has been around for quite a while. There's one or two around Las Vegas that used to be like that, but most of these institutions I don't even recognize the names of.

 

[B1GEast]

Wow, and there's still the portal to tap into in the off-season.

3 McDonald's All Americans. That's as Blue Blood as you can get.

 

[LIuconn]

Next year should be a good one

Calm down. Freshmen no matter how good they are often struggle

 

[RuffRuff]

I’m sure if they had a Rooburger team in Australia our guy Furph would be one it. I really like the looks of this kid, has that feel like he’s ready to get dirty and fiery.

What a strange post. There’s a handful of basketball factories on that list but the vast majority are normal schools.

I think Rabbe's HS, Bullis, is a "real" school in that it's not just purely a school focused on churning out college athlete prospects. Though not like Bullis doesn't churn out elite athletes too (Quincy Wilson, the 16-year old that made the summer Olympic team, attends Bullis).

Hot take! Furphy will be the 2nd best player (if not the best) in this recruiting class.
