The 2024 McDonald's All-American Boys Game was an all-star basketball game played on April 2, 2024, at Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. The game's rosters featured the best and most highly recruited high school boys graduating in the class of 2024. The game was the 47th annual version of the McDonald's All-American Game first played in 1977. [1] The 24 players were selected from over 700 nominees by a committee of basketball experts. They were chosen not only for their on-court skills, but for their performances off the court as well.
The roster was announced on January 23, 2024. Alabama, Duke, Arkansas, North Carolina and Rutgers each had the most selections with two. At the announcement of the roster selections 16 schools were represented, while Karter Knox, Bryson Tucker and Derik Queen were uncommitted. Trent Perry was committed to USC at the time of the selection of the team but decommitted before the game was played when the school parted ways with their coach. East forward Liam McNeeley also decommitted from Indiana before the game started, but was committed to Indiana when the roster was announced. He later committed to UConn. [2] After the game was played Boogie Fland and Karter Knox announced their decommittment from Kentucky and announced they would follow head coach John Calipari to Arkansas. Jayden Quaintance decommitted from Kentucky as well and announced on April 29 that he would instead sign with Arizona State.
