All-American Championship rosters announced

Rosters were announced Thursday for the second annual All-American Championship, scheduled for April 1 at Lakefront Arena in New Orleans.

The event is unique among postseason showcase games as some of the nation's top juniors join college-bound seniors for a doubleheader.

"Last year's inaugural All-American Championship exceeded our expectations," Gazelle Group president Rick Giles said. "When you look at the players we have attracted, it makes you realize the depth of talent at the high school level. I am proud that we have been able to assemble such a talented group of young men and look forward to an exciting day of basketball."

Star attractions include potential No. 1 prospect in MaxPreps.com's final Class of 2012 Top 100 Nerlens Noel, star junior twins Aaron and Andrew Harrison and Syracuse-bound big man DaJuan Coleman.

The first game of the doubleheader will match the West vs. the East, followed by the North vs. the South. Tip is 3 p.m. EST (2 p.m. CST). Each game will be aired live on ESPN3 with a rebroadcast of the doubleheader beginning at 9 p.m. EST on ESPNU.
