The selections for the 2011 McDonald's All-American Game have been released. On March 30th and 10:00pm, the 24 Burger Boys will take the court at the United Center in Chicago showcase their talents to the entire nation.

I was a disappointing 20/24 in my projections of the selections for the game. One player who was selected I incorrectly thought was a fifth-year senior hence the omission on my part, but that is no excuse.

Anyway, onto the actual selections, which can also be seen by clicking Here. The 24 seniors who were chosen to play in this year's game are below. I'll have an article in the coming days with complete analysis of the selections and the snubs, but there are a few notes below.
