McDonalds All-American Girls HS Game 3/29 ESPN2 5:00-6:30

Thank you. I try to watch these games with my players, especially since we are on Spring Break.

I wonder how that 2013 class and other classes looked in the McDonald's All-American game? Did the two dozen kids selected by McD turn out to be the better players in the class? Did the kids performing well in that McD AA game turn out to be the top players in college?

Just curious....

It all depends s on your POV. One of the less heralded players from the 2013 McD AA game turned out to be this year's POY-Kelsey Plum. Three (DeShields, Reynolds, Russell) of the players from the game flame out @ TN. Three (Greenwell, Chidon & Cooper) had Sub-par careers at Duke. Three (Deshields, Washinton, Mavunga) enrolled initially at UNC and have all transferred. 5 players (Chantel Osahor- Was, Brionna Jones-MD, Alexis Peterson-Syracuse, Sydney Wiese-Oregon St., Shatori Walker-Kimbrough, MD, not in the McD AA game managed to make AP 1st, 2nd or 3rd team.

I'll give you Cooper and Chidom but I would in no way classify Greenwell's Duke career as "sub-par".

She was ranked 6th in the class and was hurt as a Freshmen in Sophmore so you maybe be right. But that the last concession I'm making today.

Yes. Mixed being boys/girls was not the issue. That was obvious, I wanted to know more about the type of shooting. I have no idea what "IIRC" is. Thanks

If I Remember Correctly.

LOL, LOLZ, WTF, BTW, TTYL, WBYCEIYDBO, YMMV. :cool:
 
My predictions:

Because it's an all-star game, only a few players will play defense and there will be lots of shots and not many assists.

A small number or players will really stand out, if only because of making shots, but a few will show clearly superior athleticism and/or skills. Think Maya Moore's game, though I don't see anyone quite like that (Meg is close).

At least one under-the-radar player will impress. I'm thinking Stanford-bound Maya Dodson. Destiny Slocum impressed me last year.

Chastity Patterson is quick. I think she will have a impact at Texas.

For a sec I was thinking she was signed at Maryland and I'm like lord please don't give them another exceptional guard! Hope she helps continue the success Texas has had of late

Wait...she is the one who has been draining the 3s right?

Rough start for Meg but the athleticism is there

Unfortunately, her mindset from the opening interview was to "entertain" and "lead". This has led to 1 on 1 ball . :( I imagine Meg has to get it out of her system since that stops Day 1 at UConn.

Meghan Walker hasn't looked great. Does this matter? Not at all.

All freshman have to put in a lot of work to get themselves to a UConn level.

Not impressed I understand it's an all star game but these players are slow and sloppy. The best two players that Ives seen so far is Chasity Patterson and Chennedy Carter. Michaela Onyenwere seems to show promise, Walker seems to be trying a little too much and looks a little off, and Westbrook is smooth with passing ability but that looks about it. Hopefully their coaches to whip them into tip top shape because right now this looks to be the worst McDAA game I've seen.

Rellah Boothe has been playing in all star mode (not so much with the passing), but it's clear that she has a lot of talent.
 
Thanks for the reports all - I gave up on this and the other games a few years ago - it is just bad bad basketball. About the only thing you can learn is comparative body types - who looks like they have seen a weight room and who doesn't and of course height in units of the Hartley!
Your reports confirm everything I thought I already knew!
