Date and Time?
Location?

Anyone from Ohio?

I guess the most important question was already answered.

I was pretty stunned to see Scott, Williams, and Plumlee make it.

As to why I was stunned, Rivals rankings are usually pretty close to what McDonalds selects. UNC and Duke usually sneak in a few outsiders (Wear Twins and Plumlee), so the youngest Plumlee maybe isnt to surprising

Hmm no Jayhawks...irrelevant game

Pingatore....thats the coach from the hoop dreams documentary right?


Edit, Nvm, looked it up. It is the same coach, thought so. GOAT documentary

Interesting stat I heard on the radio (and I think I am remembering the numbers correctly). Matta has brought in 10 McDonald's All Americans since he started at OSU. Before that OSU had brought in 7 in history.
