McDonald's All-Americans for UC?

Wednesday, April 1, marked the day of the annual McDonald’s All-American Game in Chicago.  Personally this was my fifth year making the trip up to see it. 

If you have no knowledge of what the McDonald’s All-American game is, it’s the top high school seniors in the country getting together to showcase their talents on ESPN.

To be even more frank, McDonald’s All-Americans are the type of players that the top programs in the country, like Duke and Kentucky, highly covet.  

As always, I fully enjoyed the game.  I always enjoy seeing players in any sport before the evils of being a professional athlete get to them, when the game is more about the love of the sport. 

Lucky for me I always get great seats.  Last year I actually sat next to Tyler Ulis’s family as they cheered on their soon to be a Kentucky Wildcat. 

Selfishly I hope some of the players that are undecided about their college choices choose to attend UC.  We sure could use an influx of top flight talent.
