Back on topic, is there any reason that Iowa would randomly have a bunch of really good players or is this a fluke? Or do we have more talent within the state than I thought? Or is the McDonalds All American system flawed? Have I asked enough questions yet?

The Boys and Girls Team Selection Process

The voting process for the McDonald’s All American Games Teams involves the McDonald’s All American Games Selection Committee. The Selection Committee is comprised of some of the nation’s most knowledgeable high school analysts, prep scouts, high school newspaper reporters and prestigious basketball coaches. There are 34 Boys Selection Committee members and 23 Girls Selection Committee members. The Selection Committee is chaired by Coach Morgan Wootten, former coach of DeMatha High School in Hyattsville, Maryland. Coach Wootten won more than 1,200 games and won five national high school championships.

That's the selection process for the actual game. I wonder what the nominee process is? Maybe Iowa just made a concerted effort to nominate a lot more players than other states. They are all decent players but some of them would have never entered my mind in being considered for this. I'm thinking Paige and Woodbury will actually make the team.

Players are nominated by high school coaches, principals and stuff like that.....thats from the article. If you take a look at the player(s) that make the team Iowa will not be the number 1 state. I'm guessing local coaches get a little trigger happy with nominations.

How many of these kids have D1 offers? When I think of McDonald's All Americans I think of top notch players.
