McDonald's All-American Nominees Include...

[JavaMan]

UConn's own Andra Espinoza-Hunter, Lexi Gordon, Mikayla Coombs, and Megan Walker. Who makes the team? Who doesn't?

[HERE] is the complete list of nominees (first half of the list is the boys, second half the girls)

I think Walker and Gordon are locks, but wouldn't at all be surprised to see all 4 make the game.

In N Out should come out with a nominees list. Then the players who make it are "In" and the ones who don't are "Out"

Walker and Coombs are locks. Gordon probably at about 75%, AEH at about 50%. Hmmm maybe less on AEH. There are quite a few guards ranked ahead of her. (Westbrook, Evans, Carter, Patterson, Hayes, Morris, Coombs, K Williams, Boykin). They try to make these teams playable (evened out), G/F/P's.

What does it take to be nominated? The list of those not nominated may have been shorter. Texas alone had about 300 nominees.

Being nominated is quite the accomplishment for a young HS athlete.

Agree whole-heartedly.

I just used "the Google" on the world-wide information superhighway and it seems that a HS coach, AD, or principal can nominate a player. I am sure that is a rewarding event to receive that nomination.

Walker is a no-brainer. Coombs probably makes it. The other two are ranked high enough and are from diverse enough areas that they could well make the team too.

In any event, I bet they all get some sort of high school AA recognition, McDonald's or no.

Venturing into grammar-nazism, just want to give a shout out to Rebecca for "none...is" which is, of course, completely correct but not so often used anymore. A well-educated daughter of educators, and just a really smart person.

True. However, none of them need it. They have already received the very highest recognition possible -- a ride to UConn.

You're joking, right, JavaMan. Just trying to pull my chain. First, you "like" my comment on none + the singular, and then you write "none of them need"!!

 

[UcMiami]

Shouldn't we be hoping none of them get AA status?! That way when we next beat Maryland Geno can smugly say, 'see, we can still beat all your AAs with scrubs!'

What did you do with my "s."

Keep it up and we're gonna start calling you KaBagster.
