The rosters for the 42nd annual McDonald’s All American Game were unveiled Thursday afternoon on ESPN’s The Jump.

The East team has five of the top six prospects in the ESPN 100, while the West team is led by No. 1 overall prospect James Wiseman, who signed with Penny Hardaway and Memphis.

Five programs have multiple commits or signees selected to play, with Duke, Florida, Villanova, Arizona and Kentucky each getting two. Arizona, which has the top-ranked recruiting class in 2019, has Josh Green (No. 7) and Nico Mannion (No. 8) leading the way.

Thirteen programs are represented on the rosters at this point, with six uncommitted players selected to play. Cole Anthony (No. 2) is the top unsigned player remaining in the 2019 class, followed by Anthony Edwards (No. 5), Jaden McDaniels (No. 6), Matthew Hurt (No. 10), Precious Achiuwa (No. 16) and Trendon Watford (No. 22).

The highest-ranked player not selected to this year’s game was LaMelo Ball (No. 13); he was not among the 800-plus players nominated for selection. Among nominees, USC signee Onyeka Okongwu (No. 17), Memphis signee D.J. Jeffries (No. 23) and Oregon signee C.J. Walker (No. 24) were the highest-ranked players omitted. Overall, 20 of the top 22 players in ESPN’s rankings were selected for the game.
