The rosters for the 2010 McDonald's All-American Game and also the Jordan Brand Classic were both recently announced. I correctly projected 21 of the 24 players named to the McDonald's All-American Game, which will be held on March 31st in Columbus, Ohio. The rosters for the game is listed below. I will be posting the Jordan Brand Classic rosters shortly.

* The player ranks are from Northstar Basketball's Class of 2010 Terrific 125

Notes
- Sixteen of the top 17 players in the Terrific 125 were selected to the game, with the only exception being #8 6'6 Memphis-bound SG Will Barton of Brewster Academy (NH), who was ineligible for the game because he is a 5th-year senior
- The only high school with multiple players selected was Findlay Prep (NV)
- There were players from seventeen states picked for the game, just six of which had multiple selections in Florida (three), Michigan (two), North Carolina (two), Nevada (two), New York (two), and Virginia (two)
- This was the first time that no player from California was chosen for the game, while Pennsylvania is another notable state without a player selected
- Seven players in the game are still uncommitted, nearly a third of participants
- While 13 colleges had committed players selected, only three had multiple recruits chosen, in North Carolina (three), Memphis (two), and Ohio State (two)
- Eight point guards, seven power forwards, five small forwards, two centers, and two shooting guards made the game
- Only one player in the game is under 6'0, while three are 6'10 or taller
