2009 McDonald’s All-American Rosters (BOYS)

what about jamal fenton? chvez high school in houston texas.

Lance Stephenson is a forward? Hmm, always considered him a combo guard.

justin, John Wall is ineligible. 5th year players are not eligible to be McDonalds All-Americans. Jordan Hamilton was also not on the list because of the 5th year rule in the selection criteria bylaws.

Stephenson is a 2 or 3, maybe thats what you meant by “combo guard”, but he’s definitely not a point in any sesne of the word.

Haha, Oklahoma has always had a penchant for that. In fact, a study was done recently by the Dallas Morning News that more Dallas area kids go to Oklahoma now than UT straight out of HS because “Oklahoma really cares about you, whereas UT mails it in” Now, that only speaks for students, not student athletes, but still. Also, I’m going to quickly mention the biggest snub not on this list (that hasn’t already been spoken for. Jordan Hamilton & John Wall have been mentioned already in length by me) is Daniel Orton.

ciolkstar, my comment is in moderation because of a link, so I’ll repeat part of it so you know. Lance is a SG, not a 3 at all. Also, John Wall is a 5th year senior because he is in his fifth year of HS at a prep school. Jordan Hamilton’s case, I went into DEEP detail about his situation, but here’s the skinny for you- Jordan started HS at age 13 and his father held him back for academic reasons.

ciolkstar, the link is up, check it out.

Lance is taking MVP, bank t.

That was a good read, Hamilton really sounds like a smart, focused kid. I hope he gets eligibilty before the end of the season, but either way we will welcome him to UT with open arms. I love that his game is so polished already. He has some raw talent, but the smoothness and maturity of his game is what really strikes me.

cstar, thanks. Yeah, he’s a great guy. He’s going to showcase his talent at the Jordan Brand Classic regardless. He’s also got a ridiculous sense of humor by the way. And for the record his final appeal goes to the CIF state level in the next few days, if he gets his way, his dominguez team will have him back & beat Mater Dei. Yes, I said it. Beat Mater Dei. Jordan told me if he got to play Mater Dei, he’d channel all the hardship of the CIF issue and his rivalry with MD and hang 40 on em. Jordan Hamilton: PAUL PIERCE THE SECOND! haha

I thought DeMarus Cousins signed with UAB….

Why are the Wear twins on this? I’m sorry but I can think of a few other players who are more talented and deserve it. Maybe they are for the sake of height I dunno but they don’t seem like legit players to me.

I’m pretty sure I take John Wall over Stepheson and never look back.

One from Lowell! Whoo!

bill walker didnt play in the mcdonalds game… jordan hamilton couldnt possibly play because he hasnt played a game all year… sam thing for daniel orton, he has been hurt and missed a large chunk of the season, something that eliminates him from consideration from mcdonalds… LOL @ taking lance over wall, there isnt a coach in the country who would

lance is still undecided? i think he’s goin overseas

How can this list of players be the best players when the nation’s leading scorer is left off the all-star list. his name is John Jenkins from Gallatin, TN, he averages 42 points a game and shoots 68% from the floor and 48% from 3pt land. Who is on this list of players doing it like that, tell me please.

That being said, Xavier Henry will be my most likely pick for 2010 number 1 draft pick (if Rubio doesn’t take it, that is).

Jukai, I take Hamilton over Lance because he is a better all around player. I take Hamilton over Wall because I haven’t jumped aboard the huge Wall bandwagon completely- he needs a jumper badly. Rivals WAY overrated Wall. Xavier Henry IS the best player in the country, that kid is loaded. Scott…In most NBA potential I agree except for Cousins. Sidney does everything Demarcus Cousins does only much better.

why is wall overated? remember you sed that after he does one year in college and is a top 5 pick… was demar overrated? he hasnt fared that well in college? rivals had him #2

Rivals had Greg Oden ahead of Kevin Durant. That goes to you show you right there that they mean nothing.

The best player at the McDonald’s game with be hometown hero: Kenny Boynton; he ruled the AUU circuit along with backcourt teammate Brandon Knight, and proved that when the occasion is the biggest he delivers like no other player can. Hands down the best senior in the 2009 class.

Not interested as much as the previous years and Eff the 5 year rule put John Wall on display I don’t care if he’s 25 years old he is the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

living in Kentucky, i gotta ask… where’s Daniel Orton at???
