High school girls basketball: 2023 McDonald's All American Game rosters announced

By Aaron Williams Jan 24, 2023, 12:30pm

Preseason first-team MaxPreps All-Americans Breya Cunningham, Jadyn Donovan and Juju Watkins lead 24-player squad.

The McDonald's All America Game is being played in a new city but expect the same high-caliber action as the best girls basketball players from around the country meet March 28 in Houston for the 46th annual event. On Tuesday, the 24-player roster was announced.

Eleven players on the MaxPreps Preseason All-America Team made the roster, including first-teamers Breya Cunningham, Jadyn Donovan and Juju Watkins.

More notes of interest:

• All of the McDonald's All Americans have either signed or committed to colleges, and, unlike previous years where a top college program would rake in several of the selections, these future stars are spread out. LSU, Arizona, UConn and Notre Dame each have two commits named to the field

La Jolla Country Day (La Jolla, Calif.) is the lone school with two players as Arizona commits Cunningham and guard Jada Williams each land on the West roster

• California leads the way with four players with Watkins and Amanda Muse of Heritage (Brentwood, Calif.) joining the LJCD duo.



• A switch from last year is that the players are already designated into East and West squads.

The 2023 McDonald’s All American Girls game will air on March 28 at 6:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2 and the Boys game will immediately follow on ESPN at 9 p.m. ET.
