McDonald’s All American Rosters (Malachi Moreno made it)

SS, do you know where the height listings on the MAA roster come from? I've seen Moreno listed at 7'1", 7'0" & 6'11". But MAA roster lists his height at 6'10".
I believe ESPN because they also have him at 6’10 on their rankings .

But we know ESPN isn’t the most reliable in terms of their rankings and that probably is the case for their measurements also.

Jasper makes nike hoop summit

He is still definitely top 20 talent in this class and I have seen some draft mocks project him to be oad lottery pick
No doubt he’s nice nice. And Hoops Summit is always a better forecaster along with event imo.

I just don’t lIke that our players are getting slighted and our name and programs influence is not being thrown around to get our guys in the game still.

Coach has a lot on his plate right now. But he and his staff gotta learn to play whatever politics they want you to play. If anything for optics.

And you don't believe that guys who were rated top 30-40 nationally in their class would make an all-region team for the state of Kentucky? Which isn't exactly churning out countless massive D1 prospects annually.

Taylor King for example averaged 34 ppg in the California 6A class his SR year. He graduated as the all-time scoring, 3 pointers made, and rebounding leader at Mater-Dei High. Mater Dei has guys on the soccer team who could probably be all-region basketball players in Kentucky.

I thought Duke fans were supposed to be smart but let me break it down for you. When I said that they couldn't make the 14th Region it was it was an embellished or over exaggerated statement to say that guys who are ranked below others, but somehow make the McDonalds game over higher ranked players, would seem to make the list because they committed to Duke. However, UK had a freshmen from the 13th region go 3rd in the draft last year so you might want to be careful trashing Kentucky players.

Hyperbole typically is a nuance that most high schoolers don't pick up on very well.....
