The rosters for the McDonald’s All-American game were released this afternoon, and once again a future Longhorn snagged the prestigious honor. 2010 commit Tristan Thompson was named to the West squad, along with his Findlay Prep teammate Cory Joseph. Thompson and Joseph are closely following the footsteps of Texas freshman Avery Bradley, who also attended Findlay, was a McDonald’s All-American, and won the All-American Jam Session. If Texas lands Joseph — who is also considering Villanova, UNLV, UConn, and Minnesota — it will be the first time since 2006 that the Longhorns have secured commitments from two All-Americans in the same class. That year, Texas brought both D.J. Augustin and Kevin Durant to the Forty Acres. Duncanville’s Perry Jones, a Baylor commit, will represent the East, along with point guard Josh Selby, who is still considering Kansas. When all is said and done, the Jayhawks could actually land two McD’s All-Americans, as forward Doron Lamb still has KU in the mix. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN, and is set to tip at 8 P.M. ET on March 31st. |
